Hi lilstilo, I hope you are still with us. ;^)

I have found it is best to start with this domument (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=87C0A6DB-AEF8-4BEF-925E-7AC9BE791028&displaylang=en) from MS. It describes setting up file sharing between various version of windows.

Take a look at it and give it a go. Let us know how it goes or if you need any help getting it to work.
