Actually it is working now (by using the ip-addresses anyway \\192.168.0.42) the windowsfirewall doesnt seem to be the problem. My router firewall has a Wireless-option calles "WMM" (nothing more) i enabled it an looked if it works, it works! ping and shares! I disabled it: Everything still works... >< i love this machines. That i cant access \\Win7 (like with the name and not by ip) is a NetBios-problem i guess which is caused by my Win7 using a couple of different static ips at the same time (new feature) so for some reason i think it screws up the netbios-name service or something.... if someone knows a solution just let me know

Here is what i was trying: i right-clicked on the folder i wanted to share (C:\Users\Public) and chose Properties->Sharing->Advanced Sharing->Share this Folder->Permissions set to Everyone Access I also Changed Security Permissions to Everyone Access. When i now try to Access them from my XP-PC: "\\Win7 can not be found" I cant even ping from one pc to the other even though they are in the same network XP (192.168.0.20) Win7 (192.168.0.8) i can ping the gateway and get to the Internet from both I would be happy if the XP-PC would recognize at least \\Win7 then i could work from there... I guess the Windows Firewall (the only one i am using on Win7) could be the problem, but why doesn't anyone else have this problem then? (aren't they using the default win7-firewall settings?) Win7 is Windows 7 Professional WinXP is Windows XP Professional

So i installed WinXP Pro on my new PC and i cant get it to Autologon with my main account or autostart some Programs at startup. It works for one restart, and then the Settings (Registry Keys) are gone... i have ruled out Firewall and Maleware-issues those are the specific registry-keys that seem to get reset: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon] "AutoAdminLogon"="1" [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run] "Task Killer"="C:\\Programme\\Task Killer\\TaskKiller.exe" Anyone experienced this before? Thx in advance, if noone can help me i will just reinstall and hope the problem is gone...

It was related and i still dont get it. ------------ Late Answer caused by fresh install and not saved Firefox-Autofill-Passwords....
