    Windows 7 XP mode bridged network not available

    Does there is some issue with the bridge network in Windows 7 XP Mode. If yes then how to resolve that. I had found in some system that suddenly when I run a network in that the system crashed for some while in the starting. Anyhow after updating the drivers and other support it worked but the bridge network drive disappeared between regular interval of time. On what basis does Windows 7 is backward compatible.

    Remove the NIC from the host system and then checkback if you are working on LAN. A computer that runs Windows 7 depends entirely on the residential group, because it is protected by a password, the rules can be diverted to facilitate this sharing of information and files. When you use a computer running Windows XP or Vista, they are unable to recognize the computers running Windows 7. You must properly create a workgroup for that.

    Rename the workgroup Mshome Workgroup which is by default and replace-the residential group by workgroup any things else. It is imperative to create a local group on the computer running Windows 7. 2) Create a home network sharing for PCs running Windows XP and Vista. Then connect the computer that runs Windows 7 to your network or your PC to run XP or Vista.

    It should be noted that you can make a cable connection behind a router or a Wi-Fi (wireless). Check that Windows 7 has found the network of Windows XP or Vista, you must configure Windows 7 so it can share files with computers running on earlier versions of Windows. Sharing of files must be done properly or else you might not get properly seen on your system.

    In the XP mode go to tart menu and then click Control Panel. Now go to Network and Internet and then click on Network and Sharing Center. After that click in the left menu click Change sharing settings advanced. Here you must now make the following changes to the sharing settings to make Windows 7 compatible with earlier versions of Windows XP and / or Vista.

    When you are enabling file sharing in Windows 7 XP mode then don't forget to enable search the network for all computers running different versions of Windows can identify. And the same option lies for file sharing and printer. Then enabling Public Folder Sharing When activating this option, anyone on the network can read or modify files in the public folder. After that enable connection sharing files with 128 bit encryption for added security.

    Backward compatibility of Windows 7 will mark a sharp growth through the Windows XP through which old programs can be run limited to some versions of the operating system. This is due to virtualization technology in Windows 7 . But it is still under testing and there are lots new bugs which is going to yet discovered. I hope for a much stable version in future. Don't forget to unshare protected by a password This option should be disabled if not absolutely users of Windows XP or Vista will enter a user name and password for each attempt to share.
