I use a laptop running XP SP3 as a server for my squeezebox 3. It's connected to my home network via 85mps homeplugs and works fine. However, my Win 7 (64 bit) desktop can't see it on the network. Any help offered would be much appreciated as I'd like to transfer new music to the laptop via the network frpm my desktop.
