I have been trying to network my daughters EeePC to my desktop so I can transfer a few movies over... I have everything setup where I can see them but I don't have permission to copy/view the files. She is running WinXP and I am running Win7 64-bit. We are going on vacation tomorrow and I'd like to get them transferred for her. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks everyone...
 
Looks like its a Win7/WinXP issue. I tried the same setup with my Lenovo running Win7 and had no issues. XP not going to work? A setting wrong?

edit : How fast are the transfer speeds doing this? It transferred my entire movie/music collection within seconds. 120gb'ish.
 
on XP box, create a folder in the root, called say Movies.
Share folder.
Change "Share" permissions so "Everyone" has full perms.
then go to Security tab, and change NTFS perms so "Everyone" has full perms
 
Is it XPHomeless or XP Pro?
Simple File Sharing?
Username and password that you're using for the Win7 box added as a local user on the XP box?
