Hi, Please check if you can ping the computer with the command “ping computer name” or “ping IP Address”. Temporarily disable or remove all the security software (firewall, anti-virus, anti-spyware, etc.) on the computers and check if it works. If you have enabled simple file sharing on Windows XP computer, please check if Guest account has also been enabled; you can also disable the simple file sharing and reconfigure the sharing on the Windows XP computer with the following Knowledge Base: How to disable simple file sharing and how to set permissions on a shared folder in Windows XP Disable “Password protected sharing” in Windows Vista.
