Thanks Andrew, have seen this page before, it is of some help. I can see and access my XP computer from the Windows 7 computer, but I cannot see the Windows 7 computer from the XP computer. If I click on show work groups it shows up, but I am not allowed access to folders on the Windows 7 computer. This computer does not show up if I click on my network places in XP. Both workgroups are the same, so this is where I am stuck at present.
