I have a home network through my router and have my XP and Vistamachines all configured to use the same workgroup.I set up Win7 to see this workgroup and the connectivity is intermittant when it come to sharing files or accessing a printer.I've searched these threads and can't find anything that answers the problem.Dan

You should try to explain what you mean when you say " the connectivity is intermittant when it come to sharing files". Does it ever share? Can you ping the other machines only sometimes?Rating posts helps other users Mark L. Ferguson MS-MVP
