Both machines freeze when networked

I am running XP home on one machine and Win 7 RC1 64bit on second. If I try to access the win 7 machine folders from the XP machine, both machines freeze. Any suggestions?

Are you accessing files using standard network shares? Is the freezing permanent (i.e have you left it for a few minutes to see what happens?).

Hopefully we can get to the bottom of this

I Think I discovered the problem. I have a Gigabyte MB and logged on to their website and downloaded the latest MB driver for Win 7 64 bit. That seems to have cleared up the problem. Thanks for your reply.

Thanks for letting us know how you fixed it, I'm glad it's now working
