Win7 to XP network problem

I'm looking for some help.

I have 2 PCs networked at home.

Main PC is running Win7 64bit second is Running XP MCE 32bit.

The problem is if I want to transfer files or folders from Win7 to shared
folder on XP machine it will start then run for approx 1 second then stop
and eventually times out :(

If I then check the XP machine it will have created the folder and maybe
started the first file but that's it.
If I start from the XP machine and try to copy the same files/folders from
Win7 to XP it works fine.

So copying the same files/folders from Win7 to XP works if started from XP
but wont if started from Win7.

Any Ideas as I'm stumped ?

P.S. tried with TG585 and DG834 routers and new LAN card

Same problem here. Seems WIN7 does not network very well at all. I
have not been able to map a network drive in 7 or even see the XP
units on the network.

I CAN map a network drive on WIN7 and see the shared files/folders on XP it
just when I try to send from WIN7 to XP that it hangs after a second.
someone told me to check MTU settings and now both PCs and router are on
1492 but still the same problem :(
