I am changing laptops from a WinXP Pro system to a Win 7 system, and need to migrate several files over to the Win7 laptop. I had done some of this already using net use v: \xplaptopnamee$, but now when I try to access the same shared drive, I get the

system error 53, network path not found. I can ping each laptop from the other, but can't connect to either from the other. Help? I have made sure they both are in the same workgroup (mshome), but am not seeing each system from the other. At this point, I

just want my @#%#$ files, but there are too many to do the usb key type transfer, and dang it, I should be able to do a peer to peer network somehow! Suggestions? This isn't permanent, just temporary for getting data.
