Hi,

 

Make sure you can ping from the Windows XP PC to the Windows7 PC. When does the PCs losing connectivity? While a transfer or when idle? Do you have a password policy enforced in your environment? Make sure you have setup enough simultaneous user connections for the share as well.

in window 7 you have to use the 32-bit version, becouse most xp pcs didn't come with 64-bit processor. window 7 will produce plenty of choice.

Make sure the pink has to get the reply from windows 7 to XP machine, if its not happening check the connectivity like cable, ip and firewall.
