I have read many many posts, on this Forum and others, of users claiming to have solved the problem of using Windows 8 and XP on Home Networks and, unfortunately, I am inclined to disbelieve anyone who says they have solved this.
I personally believe this is NOT POSSIBLE, but would appreciate a step by step guide I could use.
I should add however that my network, 1 Windows 8, 3 XP, 1 Laptop with Windows 7, 1 laptop with Linux, all did work until recently, so I think it is one of the Windows 8 updates have screwed up the system.
At about the same time I also started receiving notifications from Microsoft that XP would no longer be supported after April, so maybe there is something intentional here.
Cheers.
