Cosmin Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 I'm trying to share and transfer some files from my pc to my laptop but I simply get this message if I wish to map or view shared folders .. any ideas/solutions? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+BudMan MVC Posted May 14, 2009 MVC Share Posted May 14, 2009 Do you have anything shared on that machine? Just because it shows up in the browse list does not mean you can access it, nor does it mean the browse list is even current. I would suggest you call up windows 7 help, put in sharing files -- and read the very detailed and step by step instructions on how to share files. Are you machines members of the same homegroup? (new to windows 7) Are you wanting to just use public folder sharing? What? etc.. etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+BudMan MVC Posted May 18, 2009 MVC Share Posted May 18, 2009 "haven't been able to join a homegroup created on my laptop" Might be a dumb question -- but the box trying to join the homegroup is running Windows 7 as well. Are they both the same version, ie is one the RC, while the other a beta? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
