I have Windows XP Shared computer under 'Workgroup" and new Windos 7 64 bit laptop. my all computer on peer to peer network can see all computer under 'Workgroup" but Windows 7 laptop can not see any computers or the shared files. I have windows 7 32 bit machine and it works fine and see all machine and shared files including Windows 7 64bits laptop. WIndows 7 64 bit laptop can see windows 32 bit machine too.

Hi, Thanks for posting in Microsoft TechNet forums. I understand your problem: Windows 7 64bit cannot see any PC with Windows XP or shared files under workgroup, but can see PC with Windows 7 32 bit. Can you visit Windows XP folders by using \\hostname\share or \\ipaddress\share? Try to temporally disable firewall on both Windows XP and Windows 7. And please follow these steps within: Share Files and Printers between Windows 7 and XP These links maybe also helpful to you: http://en.kioskea.net/forum/affich-196544-windows-7-won-t-recognize-xp-pc-in-network http://www.sevenforums.com/network-sharing/5369-networking-file-share-between-windows-7-windows-xp.html Please Note: Since the website is not hosted by Microsoft, the link may change without notice.
