    Win 7 Shared Printers and XP

    I've got 2 shared printers on my Win 7 desktop, I'd managed to share these with a Win7 laptop, a Vista laptop, and a while ago an xp pc.

    I've got a new XP pc on the go and I cannot seem to get it to see the Win7 desktop :/

    I can ping it successfully, no problems, but when I try \\Win7Desktop I get the following:

    \\Win7Desktop is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource.

    However, when I look at the properties for the printers shared on Win7Desktop they have everybody and full control (well, the equivelent for printers as for files).

    Anyone have any ideas?!
