Win 7 Pro can't see XP Pro system (domain computer) on home network
I often bring my work laptop (XP Pro) home and use on my home wireless network. I cannot see this computer from my Win 7 Pro system - nor can the XP Pro system see any shared files or printers. How can I get this to work? My other XP Home systems can see the Win 7 system and vice versa.

At the login screen hit the drop down and select login into this PC.after that is just networking.

I assume you mean on the XP system - don't login using cached credentials?

That's correct, on your work XP system you'd login with local credentials, not your domain credentials. Check with your IT department first to make sure its kosher with them to do this.MCSE, MCSA, MCDST

cdobbs is right. You need to login with the local credentials. Additionaly, make sure LLTD is installed on Windows XP computer. Please visit the following website (it also applys to Windows 7).Network Map in Windows Vista does not display computers that are running Windows XPBest RegardsDale
