The syntax of the "net share" command is as I gave it before:

net use Q: "\\WinXPName\ShareName"

Instead of "WinXPName" you must specify the NetBIOS name of your Windows XP
PC. You see it when you type this at the Command Prompt:
set computername

Instead of "ShareName" you must specify the name of the share that you
created (which could be different from the folder name that it refers to).
You can see all current share names when you tape this at the Command
Prompt:
net share

You should then post exactly what you see on the screen.

Windows 7 offers a network wizard you can use to set up a homegroup. It is
in the Network and Sharing Center, at the bottom. If you haven't consciously
set up a network, use "Set up a new connection or network." Otherwise, try
the "Connect to a network" or "Choose homegroup and sharing options" links.

Sharing folders between two Windows 7 machines with the new HomeGroup feature
is an easy process, but the HomeGroup feature is not compatible with XP.
First make sure both machines are members of the same Workgroup which by
default is named Workgroup.

workgroup

On the Windows 7 machine go into Control Panel \ All Control Panel Items \
Network and Sharing Center then click on Change advanced sharing settings.

network and sharing

advanced

You will want to verify the following settings under Advanced Sharing
Settings for the Home or Work and Public profile.

home or work settings

If you want any user to have access the public shares turn off password
protection. This is located in Advanced Sharing Settings toward the bottom
of the list.

turn off pw

If you want to keep it enabled make sure there is a log in account for the
other XP machines and they have a password.

create pw

Now if you go into Network in Windows 7 you should see your XP machine and
the Windows 7 as well which in this case is Mysticgeek-PC.

Explorer

To share the printer on the Windows 7 machine go into Devices and Printers
from the Start menu and double click on the printer icon.

devices

Next double click on “Customize your printer”.

1 Printer

In the Properties screen click on the Sharing Tab and check the box to share
the printer and type in its share name.

2 printer share

If your XP machine is an x86 OS you can install Additional Drivers before
setting up the XP machine.

3 Printer add drivers

To find the shared folders and devices double click on the Windows 7 machine
icon under Network. Here you can see the printer connected to my Windows 7
machine is shared and also the Users Folder.

shared device and users

Continue into the Users folder and Public to see the shared folders, here I
also created a folder called XP Share just to keep everything in central
location.

xpshare

Over on your XP machine open up My Network Places to find the Windows 7
(mysticgeek-pc) shared folder.

My Network Places

Double click on the Share folder to find a list of shared folders in the
Public folder on Windows 7. If you have password protection enabled you will
need to type in the username and password of the user account on the Windows
7 machine first.

folders

Setup XP With Shared Printer

To set up the shared printer in XP you will need to go into Printers and
Faxes from the Start menu and kick off the Add Printer Wizard.

add Printer

Now select “A network printer, or a printer attached to another computer”
then hit Next.

network option

Next select “Connect to this printer…” and type in the path for the printer
connected to the Windows 7 machine and click next.

print

Now click Yes to the confirmation message.

confirm msg

Then click Finish the printer to install and complete the Wizard.

Complete

In some cases you will need to install the x86 XP drivers for the shared
printer because the Windows 7 drivers are not compatible with XP. When
everything is installed open up Printers and Faxes to find the shared printer.


in explorer

This should help you get started with sharing your files and other devices
with your Windows 7 machine. When I first started I was able to see the
printer on XP right away because I had a HomeGroup set up, but once I deleted
it I needed to share the printer like you would for a workgroup. You might
also have to do a couple restarts of the XP machine for it to see the shared
resources on Windows 7.

I should have told that I did use the real computer name instead of
"WinXPName".

The session on Windows 7 is as follows:

<session>

C:\>net use Q: "\\<COMPUTERNAME>\<share_name>"
System error 1792 has occurred.

An attempt was made to logon, but the network logon service was not
started.


C:\>

</session>

(with "<COMPUTERNAME>" equal to the XP computer name, and
"<share_name>" equal to the name of the share that I want to share)

As far as I know, homegroups do not work on Windows XP.
