[dba-Tech] W7 Permissions

Yes, I think you are correct Lembit.

With traditional windows peer to peer networking if you set a username and
password to be identical on all machines then share the folders you want
available the sharing becomes transparent. If you have a mix of
Win7/Vista/XP/2k/98/95 then this is the way to go.

If you have all Windows 7 machines the easiest way to go for a home setup is
to use the home networking option. Choose "Home" as the type of network (in
your network connections) and then set up a Home Group. You get a passcode
for the home group. Put that into any piece of (Windows 7 compatible)
equipment that you want to share the material with and everything you
checked is shared through the network as if it's on your computer.

Rocky,
Do you have a password set on both machines? IIRC, you need this in W7. It
won't allow connection to a machine without password.
