Hi Farhad, Please try the following suggestions to troubleshoot this issue: 1. Check if you can ping the computer with the command “ping computer name” or “ping IP Address”. 2. Please check if you can access the share folder with “\\computer name\folder” or “\\IP Address\ folder”. 3. Temporarily disable or remove all the security software (firewall, anti-virus, anti-spyware, etc.) on the computers and check if it works. 4. 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 Also, as this issue is occurring on Windows 7 system.
