HomeGroup Detected But Can't Join - Discovery On / IPv4 And IPv6 Running
Aug 31, 2011
I have a desktop that is connected to my Belkin router via wire. I have 3 laptops that are all connected to the router wirelessly. All computers have Windows 7 64bit and synched clocks. All are connected to a Home network. All 3 laptops detect that a Homegroup has been created on the wired desktop. I'm using the correct Homegroup password. All computers have discovery on. All computers have IPv4 and Ipv6 running. All services are running. Everything else I've read and tried regarding troubleshooting this issue haven't worked. All computers can see each other on the Network, but can't connect to the Homegroup.
I'll try my best to explain all the issues clearly.from very above downto the third line are:IPv4 connection : not connected (Not OK, it wasn't like that)IPv6 connection : not connected (No public IPv6 connection in China, this is OK)Media State: connectedBut as you can see below, network is OK (Yeah, it seems that). The problem is, this ADSL connection is not showed in 'Avtive Networks'.Most online activities are OK, but somw applications like EA Origin are malfunctioned(I'm sure it is because of the problem in network connection)I've tried reset my winsock, LSP, netsh int ipv4,also reinstalled drivers. All above didn'you may wanna have a look at my Network and Share Center. Here it comes.Area 1 shows that there is no active networks except a 'unidentified network'(this refers to Local Area Conncetion. Since I don't neither have a router nor use LAN, that don't matter). When ADSL was OK, I got a active ADSL network there.
I have a QNAP NAS and several devices (mostly Windows 7 and iOS devices)The vast majority of my networking setup seems OK - however on one Windows 7 laptop I am having problems. The Laptop can 'see' remote shares, access the Internet and ping other devices on the network - however remote devices cannot ping the laptop. Whilst trying to ascertain what could be the cause I thought that I would ping 'localhost' on the laptop - after all, it should be able to see itself!
My wifi was working fine a few days ago but i think the windows update has messed up my wifi adapter or connection. I did do a system restore when this happened a few days ago but since the restore is more then 1month old it is no more.So far i have tried the following:restarting/rebooting router,updating/reinstalling drivers,and many other things but nothing seemed to work i dont understand why it is scanning for wifi but on the mapping it says adapter isnt connected.I have shown a few pics to help you:
I recently had a sound problem on the internet in google chrome ( no sound at all although the system sound worked fine). Installed shockewave and reinstall chrome on my pc and reboot my pc all remotely. At this stage my problem with chrome was not solved (although the sound in Explorer and firefox worked). After the remote reboot I could not reconnect to the internet. The local area connection status shows that ipv4 & 6 is not connected anymore.
I tried to turn on and off my network adapter, turn off my firewall and connect my pc directly to my cable modem( instead of being connected to my cisco 4200 v2 router) but nothing! I also tried to restart the DNS Client service and the DHCP client service: still nothing. The windows troubleshoot indicate a problem with the network adapter driver but I doubt it. I am running windows 7 ultimate.
I am using Windows 7 Pro and I can't access the Internet My IPv4 is working but I get this: IPv4 : Internet IPv6: No Internet Access
But when I open Browser I get white page but on vBulletin forums I get a 404 error on Every Forum site I go to. So I have a laptop, my brothers computer, xbox360, and my own pc all connected wired to the same router. Recently my PC is unable to get any internet at all from anything, even though it says: ipv4 internet ipv6 no internet access
It shows I am receiving and sending packets but not very often. All my other computers on my network except my one PC, I thought maybe it was my integrated network card on the computer but it seems I am not the only one who has had this problem.
I am on an aspire one netbook and can no longer connect to the internet via wireless or a wired connection. I typed ipconfig/all in command prompt and all I got was..:
Host name: Primary Dns Suffix: Node Type: Broadcast IP Routing Enabled: No WINS Proxy Enabled: No
I do have a desktop and when I ipconfig/all this is what comes up C:Documents and SettingsAdministrator>ipconfig/all Windows IP Configuration Host Name: your-9k1ay6x2a2 Primary Dns Suffix: Node Type: Hybrid IP Routing Enabled: No WINS Proxy Enabled: No
I have a set of PCs which if connected to a windows network will make all computers on that network default to ipv6 when resolving names. This happens even if IPv6 is unchecked, if the ipv4 binding is set above 6 in the advanced properties of the network card. If any of these PCs joins a network with a point of sale system (Aloha) that system develops problems since Aloha does not like IPv6. At all. All computers including the aloha terms are Windows 7, 32 or 64 bit. Reproduced this with different routers and network topologies.
For example, I take one of these particular PCs to my home network Prior to the terminal going onto the network ping localhost --> 127.0.0.1 ping computername --> 192.x.x.x
After the PC has joined the network, just attached to the same router, not on the same workgroup, etc., now all computers on the network return ping localhost --> ::1 ping computername --> 08fe:xxxx (IPv6 address) ping computername -4 --> 192.x.x.x ping localhost -4 --> 192.x.x.x
This behavior continues even without IPv6 enabled on any adapter on the network. When the PC is removed from the network, all other PCs continue with the new behavior. I have tried netsh winsock reset, net stop dnscache, netsh int ip reset.log hit, unchecking IPv6 in multiple places, ensuring binding order has IPv4 above IPv6 on all network adapters (none hidden) etc. It's like this PC infects other windows PCs with IPv6. I have not tried disabling IPv6 from the registry or by Policy in my lab but I believe I tried this on previous network with no effect.
i have recently got a brand new machine and have updated from windows xp to windows 7. I have been trying to join the homegroup set up on my parents computer so i can access the printer. My computer is connected to my wired router before going into a ethernet connector in my wall and that then joins the modem. I am using norton internet security and so is my parents computer.
When my computer is plugged into the router and i go into 'trust control' in norton, my router shows up as full trust, but no other computers show up and when i try joining homegroups none show up. But when i plug my computer into the wall bypassing my router, norton shows all the computers on the network and lets me join the homegroup. So to summarise, i cant join homegroups when i am connected to my router, but i can join when i dont use the router.
I used to have a homegroup set up on computer B, but then i decided to host the homegroup from computer A (my most recent build) because computer A is running more often than any other computer now. So I set it up on computer A and set a password (I know they have to be case-sensitive). When I tried to get computer B to join the homegroup it said the password was incorrect. I know that this isn't the case. Computer C, D, etc. can join homegroup A, but computer B is being stubborn, and can no longer join other homegroups, or have other computers join its homegroup.
So I tried setting up a homegroup on computer B and seeing if computer A could join. Same problem occurred, incorrect password.
Ok so here we go, I have my laptop and pc hooked up with a lan core, and my laptop is sharing its internet with the pc. I want to create a home group so they can share files easy, but when i create a group on the computer (does not mater what computer) the other computer can't find it.
I have 2 new Acer computers, both running Windows 7 Home Premium. I am attempting to share files on a homegroup for the first time.I can create a home group on either computer, but I get this message when try to join the newly created home group from other computer: "Windows can�t join homegroup on this computer " In other words, both can create a homegroup, but whatever the one creates , the other cannot join. One important note is that one of the computers does not have the three network adapters the other has. It is missing a wifi adapter although it has a wifi port. Could this be part of the problem? Following are the 18 steps I have completed to date, all of which were redone by a "for fee" networking service except for resetting the router (I had already done this multiple times). These are not necessarily in the order I did them and I retried creating and joining a homegroup on both computers between each "fix." I checked the status and network map on both computers between steps to verify changes were registered correctly by both. Various corrections were made along the way, but none worked.
I originally set up a Homegroup from a PC I have now replaced. My new PC recognises that there is a Homegroup, but won't let me join - it says the password is wrong.
Or how do I just make the XP box know about the Windows 7 box? They're both fed from the same router so should have IP addresses in the same group - but although the Windows 7 PC can see the XP PC, it doesn't work the other way around.
AFAICT the only place (in XP) where I can view other computers is in my XP workgroup. But Windows 7 uses homegroups which don't seem to be quite the same thing. A workgroup seems to have a name but no password whereas a homegroup seems to have a password but no name.
'm just asking straight out. [code] When I am on the laptop, I cannot cut & paste/move or delete files to or from my main PC. When I am on my main PC, I can manage all my files and actions on my laptop HD. When I am initiating actions from my PC, I am god. When I am initiating actions from my laptop, I am nothing, as I do not have permission on my destination folder.I have been doing all kinds of work arounds. I'm sure you know the drill. But I have hit a point in my setup (mainly because my laptop HD isn't huge, but my main PC HD is huge, I do a lot of media stuff, and I do 95% on my laptop) where the workarounds are such a pain, I just can't stand it. If I could directly read and write to files on my PC HD, my world would be so much simpler.I probably won't be able to remember everything, as I've been working on this on and off for quite a while, but off the top of my head:
-Set all permissions on homegroup sharing to be as permissive as I can -Turned off password protection for sharing -Even though UAC is turned off on both computers, I tried a "take ownership" program where I took ownership of the destination folder -I've tried accessing it through homegroup options and network options -I've tried going "bigger" with the sharing by sharing the entire User folder -I've tried going "smaller" with the sharing by sharing just one tiny folder on my destination PC -I've done every option I can find on the right click "Share With" and giving full permissions to everyone -I've gone through Advanced Sharing in Properties and turned on every advanced sharing option I can find, giving rights to everyone I can find -I've run the Network troubleshooter and the Homegroup Troubleshooter, both of which can see problems, but really don't know how to solve them. -I've searched Windows knowledgebase, forums, googled here there and everywhere. At this point every permission I can lay my hands on must be open to people who don't even have computers, yet I can't access FROM my laptop TO my PC. Yet, again, I can access everything FROM my PC TO my laptop, which is only handy if my PC is the one travelling around the house with me.
5 month old Dell XPS 8500 Win 7 64 bit Pro as main computer connected by Wired Adapter, Upgraded Gateway 5632E also running Win 7 64 bit pro as second connected by Wireless. Both running Kapersky successfully. no network problems for 5 mo.
Both were successfully linked using homegroup. Had to take Gateway to a remote location to do a business demo. While there had to link to a local public WiFi. While connecting made mistake and left homegroup.
When Gateway returned to homebase a few days later it was fine, had no problems finding wireless but could not see or rejoin Dell machine homegroup. It would let me set up a new homegroup.
Went to Dell box and found 1) homegroup no longer existed, 2) router and network and wireless printing no longer found - Red X on the taskbar) even though internet was still working fine.
Took nearly a week of trying differernt fixes, on adapter- off adapter- different adapter reboot network, router, even updated router firmware (Yes I went through every ipconfig reset, renew, redecorate etc. I've used netsh functions to try to get evrything to reset. Changes services.msc settings per other posts. Finally in desperation, deleted every sub key in the registry related to network locational awareness and got the Dell to find the network, let me set it up as a "home" network and then even see the invitation to join the Gateway's homegroup.
Then I hit a wall- when I try to join- Win 7 says I can't join the homegroup because the network is not a "home network". Of course troubleshooting is useless and goes into an endless loop. Have searched in desperation for any way to make Win 7 return to a clean slate so it can sense that it really is on a home network without success. Applied the fix-it and hotpatch for when Win 7 gets stuck in public mode. No joy. Deleted the hide wizard subkey as suggested elsewhere. No Joy. Gut feeling says problem must lie in the NLA or peer networking somewhere but where?
Does anyone know of a method or set of steps (short of a clean reinstall of Win 7) to completely clear every thing the OS knows about my network and force it to acknowlege my network is a home network? Is there a registry hack that will clear the problem?
I know I could abandon the homegroup and do conventional file/print share but I am concerned that using that solution won't last as whatever is screwing up the homegroup could eventually screw regular sharing and then I'm back to reformating/reinstalling. I'm just about ready to join the Apple folks so I never have to work on Windows again.
I have two computers running Windows 7 and both belong to a Homegroup. From one computer I can access both computers and from the other I can't access the other. It say's I don't have permission but I gave it everyone permission when I shared it. I can't figure out why?
I'm working on a custom pc that my brother built for me. The specs are in my signature. I recently upgraded from 32 bit to 64 bit Windows 7 home premium. I did a drive reformat also. Initially, everything was fine. But for some reason all of a sudden, I have no sound, my plugged in speakers are not detected at all and the audio service is not running. Everything else is fine. I assumed it was as a result of an update, so I did a system restore. I guess my restore points didn't go back far enough. No change.
According to my motherboard specs, I have the realtek ALC888 onboard audio. So, I thought I'd just be able to install the latest hd audio driver for my os from realtek's site. I tried several times (10+). It prompts me to restart and when I do, it says that the device driver did not install correctly and it defaults to the microsoft one every time. In device manager, I have a yellow triangle next to one of the 2 "high definition audio controllers" with a code 10 error (device cannot start).
Under sound, video and game controllers, I have "High definition audio device": microsoft, driver version 6.1.7601.17514 11/19/2010. I tried manually installing the driver from the zip file by directing the update utility to it's extracted location. It always says that my driver is up to date. I'm not sure whether I'm supposed to be updating one of the hd audio controllers or the hd audio device or both (I've tried both), so I suppose i could be doing it wrong.
I've tried uninstalling the hd audio controllers and the hd audio devices and rebooting, the same thing happens. I've tried a repair install from the disc. No change. The only thing I haven't tried is reformatting my hard drive and doing yet another clean install. I really don't want to have to do this again because re-downloading my programs and music/docs/pictures is a chore. Completely reinstalled windows and still don't have any sound...I'm completely at a loss.
I installed Windows 7 on my laptop, and I also have a desktop running Windows 7. I am trying to connect my laptop to my homegroup with the password for my homegroup, but my desktop will not reveal it. Is there any other place that I can find it?
I have a laptop dell inspiron with W7, I tried to get online but it say no proxy server found. First I thought it might be my internet provider, then I tried with another computer andthe internet worked fine. The net-bios say no while in the other computer it says yes. my computer had a virus but now it completely clean
first my connection recently started cutting out at random times. Restarting sometimes helped, but disconnecting from the wireless network or rebooting the network adapter didn't help(atheros ar9285). If i go under status in available wireless network it says i have not connected to ipv4 or ipv6. I get this message even when i can get on the net. If i press details nothing shows up. i have pinged Google and have 0% loss he is my ipconfig /all
recently the connection rarely fails, but i bridge my internet with my Xbox 360 so i don't have to pay for a wireless adapter, and when i do that sometimes the connection fails, or when watching netflix through Xbox it says i have lost signal or the signal strength has dropped, when nothing has changed on my laptops internet connection in terms of strength?
I have a brand new desktop running Win 7 64 bit and a laptop running Win 7 Ultimate.
The laptop uses IPv4 to connect, verified via ipconfig. The desktop uses IPv6. Each can see one another on the network, but cannot access one another. If I uncheck IPv4 on the laptop, I can then access the desktop PC, but cannot surf the internet. Once I click it back on, I lose access to the desktop.
I have tried connecting to both with and without homegroups enabled, but I think it's the IPv4 on the laptop that's causing the issue.
How can I get these two to play nice? The laptop hooked up wirelessly with an Aetheros AR5007EG adapter via Realtek PCIe FE Ramily controller. Can I force the laptop to use IPv6 somehow?
We set up three new terminals this week at the office; they're all running Win 7 Pro 32-bit. I set them all up simultaneously (literally sat at a desk and entered the same keystrokes at each of them), so I don't see any obvious reason that one is behaving differently from the other two. The essential problem is that the terminal doesn't see the Internet.
Here are all the particulars that I think might be interesting, listed in no particular order:
- The terminal ran fine for several hours. Email access, Internet access, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. At that point, the user called me to show me a dialog box. I used System Restore to go back in time to 9 a.m. in case the user had somehow managed to do anything (though she's not an admin).
- IPv6 is disabled.
- The workplace uses Static IPs. The IP address is entered correctly in the IPv4 properties (x.x.x.213), but at cmd / ipconfig, I get this result: "Autoconfiguration IPv4 address: 169.254.95.187"
- In Network and Sharing Center, the network (which is only known as Unidentified Network) is set to type Public. When I reset it to type Work and reboot, it resets to type Public.
This settings work on all XP OS but doesnt work with all Windows 7. It works for 5-10 min then it says no connection. After set IP it works then doesnt work. If i ping 10.100.20.1 -t it pings as much as i want until i stop and if i restart ping it doesnt work, while first ping i can access to internet after stopping the ping no internet also, That win 7s works with normal ip configurations like: ip:192.168.0.10 gateway: 192.168.0.1
Does windows 7 have problem with different gateway problem? or is it a bug?
I have an issue which I can't find anything obvious on.I have 4 Windows 7 machines, 1 x W7 Pro, 2 x W7 Home Premium & 1 x W7 Starter all in the same Homegroup.The W7 Pro machine can see all the others under Homegroup in Windows ExplorerAll 3 of the others can see each other in the same way but the W7 Pro machine isn't listedThe 3 others can access the Shares on the W7 Pro Machine by going to Network rather than Homegroup in Windows Explorer.

I m trying to connect two PC using IPv6 and i m getting reply to connected but i can't access shared folder it say Network Error Windows can't access.i m tried following Address \fe80::1 So How can i get shared folder Using IPv6..
im getting this error im loged in my internet now but on IPV6 network settings it says ipv6 no network access can you help me .also troubleshoot it and it says "your computer does not meet the requirements for direct acess why also when im using internet the conection wents off sometime
IPv6 shows No Network Access. Never had this before. WOn't let me log on to my Diablo 2 Battlenet(Yes 2, not 3, yet) No idea why or how it happened. This is a desktop and hooked up by a wire.And now saying No Internet Access!
Quote: The move to Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) could have a profound affect on the Internet, breaking it up into islands of connectivity and threatening cybersecurity in the process, according to Jeff Young, a senior analyst at the Burton Group.
As the IPv4 free address pool continues to dwindle, enterprises can expect to see IPv6-only hosts on the Internet within a three-year timeframe, Young said. In the report, "IPv4 Address Exhaustion: An Inconvenient Truth," Young addresses the incompatibility of IPv4 and IPv6 and some of the problems that need to be addressed during the changeover.
