Hi All, Some weeks ago we noted that an update to Win-7 seemed to break network connections to Win-XP machines. I had that experience. Then, after a few days, my network connections were all back - after presumably the next Win-7 (or Win-XP) update. Some time later, once again my network disappeared from the Win-7 machine - it cannot see any of the Win-XP machines. The Win-XP machines see each other but not the Win-7 machine. I've put off thinking about this, but now I need to. I really liked being able to reach across the network for things stored elsewhere - for example my genealogy database is on a shared external drive plugged into my Win-XP Pro machine. I don't so much like having to switch machines to go check something in that database. Nor am I wild about having to pop things onto a jump drive and transfer them via sneaker-net to my Win-7 machine in order to print them. (That's a different issue - the printer decided to stop seeing the wireless network, so it's plugged into a USB port on my Win-7 machine - I'll get to that after I work out this on-again off-again business with Win-7 and Win-XP.) Does anybody here know how I can re-establish my wireless network between Win-7 and Win-XP? Oh, and KEEP it re-established? Thanks. T -- Tina Norris Fields tinanfields at torchlake.com 231-322-2787
