Can a computer running windows 7 connect to a windows xp home edition machine?
I just upgraded my desktop to Windows 7 Pro, it will find everything on my wireless network except my laptop running XP home. I have ran through the network setup on both machines & restarted each. I only see how to setup a homegroup which requires W7 on each.
More Informations:
- How do I switch Windows 7 versions on two computers?
- Windows 7 Setup could not get windows working on this computer hardware?
- What is the difference between Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium full version and the Windows 7 Home upgrade?
- How do I upgrade to Windows 7 from Vista successfully?
- How long can I use Windows 7 before it becomes bricked?

I found this video useful for networking questions I had, and think you might find it interesting as well.
