windows 7


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.

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