Share files between a windows 7 computer and 2 vista computers?
December 31st, 2009
I want to share files between 3 computers. One of the vista computers is connected to the network via network cable and the other 2 are connected via wireless. I was wondering if there were anyways to share files between the computers. I have tried using the homegroup feature on windows 7 but it basically needs all machines to be running windows 7 and currently I am having trouble and I am confused with vista’s file sharing.
You can network computers running different versions of Windows and share files between computers, you will need to set up a workgroup rather than a homegroup" http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Networking-home-computers-running-different-versions-of-Windows.

Enable printer & file sharing then share the folders you’re interested in. Make sure all PC’s are in the same network workgroup and use the same user accounts and passwords on all computers (for simplicity). Should work fine, unless you have a firewall blocking access.
