Windows 7 & XP Networking Problem

Is the username you're using on the Windows 7 machine the same as a username that exists on the XP machine? If so, you can manually map a network drive to the XP share and specify different credentials. Otherwise the password for the username must match on the Windows 7 and XP machines. Or you can enable simple file sharing on the XP machine, which should bypass the credentials issue.
