At the General tab, click Enable offline files. Input sync center to open the Sync Center, click Manage offline files at the left side. I have a home office with 2 desktops and a laptop running Windows XP Pro. If you want to sync shared folders to Windows native, you have to enable offline files and then make them always available offline before using shared folders: 1.
But like you said, Windows Networking Ugh!!!Ĭonfigure SMB use of Netbios | Network | Ĭonfigure SMB use of Netbios | Network | Smallvoid. I just purchased a netbook with Windows 7 Home Premium installed on it.
I'm sure this is a well documented issue with XP Pro and I wish I could find more information about this. Now when I type \\pcname\temp from My Network Places the connection is made on port 445. Added the IP and PC names to each hosts file. So I disabled NetBIOS over TCP/IP from each network properties. In doing this, it might take a minute or two to time out. Well, using "netstat -an -p tcp" I found that XP was trying to connect first with Win10 on port 139. I could see both PCs listed in My Network Places but received that dumb butt message described in original post. Enable Offline Files feature: Double-click My Computer and click on Tools From the server console, create a My Documents folder under the user network shared.
XP was also acting as the LAN browse master. 1: Copy only updated files that are not in the destination folder, type the following commands. Please remember to hit Enter after each one. Use XCopy to Copy only updated files with corresponding commands. My thing is that I want to use "My Network Places" (the thing is garbage) from XP. Type cmd in the search box and select it.
Something to do with how it uses port 139 and or 445 when making the connection to the Windows 10 shares. I narrowed my problem down to NetBIOS over TCP/IP from the XP Pro SP3 laptop. I thought I had the solution but was tripped up the next day. The one I had to add was Users.Īfter making all the changes to the network settings, the Windows XP PC can access the shares on the Windows 10 PC In the Security tab section, all of those names should be present. I defined the Security Tab permissions to accounts: Everyone, Administrators, Users, and my logon username (example: tester).
Each account should have full control over the share. To configure automatic synchronization between the offline and online files. I defined the Share Tab permissions to accounts: Everyone and Administrators. Configuring offline files and folders requires a minimum of two computers. Open the properties to the share and do the following: I created a test share C:\Temp ( \\PCNAME\Temp) Private section-> Turn on network discovery, Turn on file/print sharing, Allow Windows to manage homegroup KEY: HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanManServer\ParametersĪll Networks section -> Turn of public folders, 128 bit encryption, turn off password protection KEY: HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa These registry keys were defined on both platforms: Hope it helps others who want to share between Windows 10 and Windows XP.
I have, through hours of trial and error, found the solution. I still the XP PC because I'm just cheap. But I guess not too many people are using XP anymore. Hmmm, I was hoping to get some takers on my question.
