Howdy Bob and PSN;
I try to kill two birds with one stone here.
Thanks for your feedbacks.
I still cant get full view of Win7 From Win XP.
If I get that figured out, Ill keep you posted.
I found that when you share a folder it helps
to give [add] full permissions within that specific folder
to the NETWORK group.
Both Laptop and Desktop are now online with
what seems to be no problems.
I am currently putting my trust into the
hardware router firewall. Have shut down
all other firewalls,
I like to play games online [silly for an adult]
and wonder how this will affect game performance.
What seems nice with windows you can designate only
a single folder for network sharing.
Configuring the Router Firewall is a more intensive
experience than is Windows Firewall.
You got all these protocol and port concepts I never before thought of.
And, WTH is network tunneling, like a tunneling electrons in a fancy microscope ?
Tunneling looks like some kind of security threat. Bypassing normal whatever.

Prosit,
geoff

Hi Geoff -

When I set up a new Win7 computer for a friend, I also used my twoPCs (WinXP), and a MAC, and I was able to read all the various 
computers from the other computers.  If you can see computer A from B but cannot see B from A, then I suggest that you look at both 
the hard drive permissions or the workgroup name.  The workgroup name has to be the same for all connections to work..  Keep is 
simple.  That is where I usually found a problem reading other computers.
