I have a laptop, HTPC, and a desktop, all connected to my internet wirelessly. All of the systems were connected to the homegroup perfectly last night, but then I started having problem this morning. The HTPC was connected to the homegroup, but unable to detect any of the computers. Same with the rest of them. So I left the homegroup from the HTPC thinking I could just reconnect. Big mistake. After that the only option that was available to me was to "create a new group". After many restarts and settings, I decided to create a new homegroup. I then left the original homegroup from my laptop, so that I could join the new homegroup, but alas, the same thing happens, I could not see the old homegroup from the desktop, or the new homegroup from the HTPC! The only option available to to create another new homegroup! I did the same thing again with my desktop, and now all three machines each on its own homegroup.

My netbook and main PCs both have windows 7 64 bit. Both have sharing enabled.Both have the exact same setup in networking. Both are set to home. Both have the right password.I have disabled all firewalls.I have synchronized the clocks.I updated windows.I have enabled and disabled ipv6 and attempted ipv4.Machines have had their homegroups disabled and re-enabled.They have been rebooted numerous times.I have had the propper services enabled.The netbook can see and access files on the PC but even though the PC sees the netbook as a media device, it cannot see it as a computer and cannot see it in the homegroup, thus it cannot access any files.

I have a Desktop computer with Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit and a laptop with Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit
The Laptop can see the desktop, files and printer But the Desktop cannot see the Homegroup. The desktop does not have the option to allow remote desktop connections, I don't know if that is connected to the same issue or not.
When I try to modify the Homegroup on the desktop, I get the error message mentioned above. this computer can't connect to homegroup

I have a 2 computer setup both have successfully joined the homegroup I created. From comp A, I can access everything on comp B but comp B cannot access anything on comp A. I can see what's on comp A but if I try to go there it asks for credentials. Also tied to this (I assume), when I try and access the printer on comp A, the "Install Printer" button literally does nothing (screenshot).
I have no idea where to begin with this problem. The homegroup advanced settings are set up to share files and printers. I've allowed File Sharing in Windows Firewall on both computers. I've completely left the homegroup and made a new one.

I have 2 Windows 7 computers one is a Hp Laptop and another is a Compaq Desktop I have been dealing with this problem for quite awhile and each time i go to try and correct the trouble i get unbelievably frustrated as in the end i never seem to make any progress. I have attempted to create a home group from both machines and when i do create a homegroup the other IS able to see the other but when i attempt to join from either one to the one that has created it always yields an error stating that "window cannot setup homegroup on this computer" The desktop is hardwired to my Dlink router and the laptop is connected wirelessly.

I had my computer at my home, connected to my home network. I moved to a Corporate apartment, which has a different network, and now I can't print to my printer, which I brought with me. I did set the new network as my 'home' network, and folowed instructions, but it does not seem to be working.
THe printer is a C6280 Photosmart, and is wireless enabled, but my new place doesn't have a router to attach to. Basically, I'd just like to connect the printer directly to my computer, since I will be the only one printing to it.

i have 4 networked computers (all connected through ethernet cables) They used to talk to each other fine. Now one (Call it KPC) is able to access all of the computers but none can access it. Another computer (RPC) says that it does not have permission to access it, even though i have all my file sharing turned on.
It used to ask me for a password and even though i would enter the correct password (the same on all computers) it said "logon failed: wrong username or bad password".
Also I have added KPC to the RPC homegroup using the password and it just doesnt show up on the RPC homegroup page. I really NEED RPC to be able to access KPC's everything (documents, printers etc) the rest arent a big deal at all. What happened and why did it just stop working??

I have a PC running Windows7 on which I have set up Homegroup, complete with password. I also have a laptop running Windows7 on which I tried to run Join Homegroup. I was told in the instructions to go to Start/Computer/ and click on Homegroup in the left hand column the choose Join Now in the window that comes up. There is no "Join Now" box in the window that comes up and I therefore cannot start a Homegroup. I have a Wi-Fi modem which connects me to the net wirelessly and My PC has a wireless card which works fine as far as I can tel

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.
Edit:
My router is a: Netgear WGR614v9

I have started a homegroup on my PC but I can`t see anything on my laptop to join to, Is there any thing I`m Missing ? I`m Using an ADSL modem-router And I can ping both computers from each other. also I`m Using nod32 as my antivirous-firewall and I even tried creating a homegroup when the firewall was disabled but it didn`t work.

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.

After reformatting my laptops hard drive, it is unable to see the existing homegroup on my wireless network. Before the reformat, I was able to share files and printers using the existing homegroup on my main desktop computer. I have tried homegroup troubleshooter without success.

Can anyone advise how I would go about fixing this. I am trying to connect to a network (I have a dell running on windows 7) and it keeps telling me that windows is unable to connect to the network-this is before I can even enter the security key. I know it is not a problem with the wireless because other people are able to connect to it fine.

Recently I have encountered a problem where my IE as well as MSN is unable to connect to the internet. They happened around the same time, thus I believe the problem is linked. It simply says "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage".The thing is, everything else I use has no problems whatsoever. This ncludes google chrome, firefox, AIM, skype, WoW and all kinds of stuff.I've tried a lot of solutions with regards to tinkering around:Control Panel > Internet Options > Connections > LAN SettingsI've also tried virus scans, resetting IE settings to default, reinstalling of both IE and MSN and nothing seems to work

When I first reinstalled the windows 7 it worked fine and I was connected to the Internet using my belkin USB adapter. But after moving my computer to a new room the Internet connection stopped working. Ive ran trouble shooters over and over and it says its a router or adapter issue, but all the other computers in the house are connected to the Internet just fine. I've reconfigured everything, restored and I was told to post here!I also want to add that it connects to the Internet but after about a minute it gets the triangle with the ! And acts connected but I cannot open any web pages or open any online games.When I trouble shoot it still tells me that Its in the adapter, router, modem, gateway or related issue.

I have a laptop which does not have bluetooth support. So I use a bluetooth adaptor to connect the lap with my phone. But computer is informing that bluetooth peripheral devices are not installed successfully. I can`t transfer any file from the phone to the laptop. Because phone does not find the laptop via bluetooth. But I can transfer files from laptop to the phone.

My father bought a new laptop last few days and the thing is,his laptop can't connect to our wi fi (home).I feel weird because everyone's laptops in the house can connect to wi fi and he can't.Does it mean that he need to fix something or what? He owns Acer aspire one happy series and everytime he tries to connect to the internet,it says "limited connection" but the signal is excellent.

I recently got Windows 7 on one of my desktops. I plugged in my Logitech 5.1 speaker system and I am getting absolutely nothing out of them. I went through the obvious checks (not muted). I was then searching my computer for evidence of the speakers even being recognized, and as far as I can tell they are not. I have Realtek High Definition Audio, and I've tried disabling/enabling this several times accompanied with a couple restarts of the computer.I understand I may need to update my drivers but at this point I'm unable to connect to the internet (Will have access in a couple days). I have searched this problem on my other computers and I'm getting mixed answers. I've heard my soundcard may not be compatible, the drivers are out dated, or I may want to use something other than Realtek.
