I have a Windows 7 machine and want to access a printer that's connected to a XP machine. I don;t see the XP pc in my Network and Sharing centre. They are connected with a crossover cable.

These are the things that I've done:

Both belong to WORKGROUP
Printer and files are set to shared on the XP machine
Added IP address (XP) to my firewall (comodo)
Turned on network discovery


This is what I have in my Network and Sharing centre:

Unidentified network (Home network)
Connections: Local area connection 3

Also another active network connection which is my internet connection.


Is there something I've missed?
