But if you've previously set up customized sharing permissions on your network following the procedures in Windows XP or Windows Vista and you want to maintain those permissions when using a homegroup, you can choose to manage network connections yourself. If you choose this option, you'll need to use your user account and password when accessing other computers. To continue using customized permissions, create or join a homegroup, and then follow these steps:.
The thing is, that under my Network in Windows Explorer I see my desktop listed but not connectable. Points to simple name resolution issue. You have firewall blocking broadcast traffic on, you have your name resolution messed up and not doing broadcast?
By default windows machines will broadcast for netbios names - do you have netbios enabled over tcp? So here is mine.

Posted December 17, Do you guys have suggestions on how to get my HomeGroup working?

Again public profile will prevent that. Do you have any issues when wired only and no wireless. I don't have any issues connecting wireless and wired, it's just my HomeGroup.. But that could just be that lots of idiots trying to use homegroups have your same router ; I really again do not see the point of it..
You have 2 machines -- just freaking share your folder you want to share ; To be honest if you were going to actually want to use homegroups -- then you should actually SETUP ipv6, and have some basic understanding of how it work. Posted December 21, Notebook wired is not working. Changing the network names so that both are the same - e. Can it be my Kaspersky IS making trouble here? Southern Patriot Posted December 21, HomeGroup is a real pain, to which I fixed on my network recently.
I had it working fine, then it went b00bs north. I then checked all these services were running via services. You can also try tools in HomeGroup or try the 'Microsoft fix it application' too. I hope you sort it out as it is a pain in the rear.
Link below is helpful. Try setting the virtualbox network to private which IIRC gets reset on reboot but it works for me even with virtualbox as far as I can tell, don't really use homegroup but it appears to be working Edit: also, dumb question but did you try the homegroup troubleshooter? I can connect from my desktop to my notebook but not vice versa. Any idea why that is? EDIT2: I guess it's not my router. Any suggestions for troubleshooting are more than welcome ;.
Posted December 22, I already had and checked once again these setting. Soulsiphon Posted December 22, Southern Patriot Posted December 22, Posted December 23, I can see, however, my desktop name in list 'Network' in Windows Explorer but cannot connect.
One of the main problems is that people simply cannot join a Windows computer to a homegroup! Workgroups are what you had to use to share data between Vista and XP computers, though you can join an XP computer to a homegroup also. In this article, I will try to exhaustively go through all the different reasons why you may not be able to access your homegroup. Just click on Start, type in troubleshoot and then click on the HomeGroup option.
In Windows 7, click on View All to see a list of all the troubleshooters. It will automatically check all the settings required for the homegroup to function properly and tell you whether there is a problem or not.
Usually, it can also try to fix any potential issues. You can check to see if IPv6 is enabled on your computer by clicking on Start and typing in View network status into the search box. This will open Network and Sharing Center.
Finally, right-click on your network connection and choose Properties. Note that sometimes the registry setting does not get updated even though you enable IPv6 via the GUI interface.
So you can check the setting in the registry by going to the following key:. In the right pane, right-click on DisabledComponents and select Modify.
Make sure the value is set to 0. Though this might sound obvious, you need to make sure the computer is connected to the same network the HomeGroup is on. Only computers on the same subnet will be able to connect to the HomeGroup, so if you have a wireless router, it would only be the computers connected to that router. The first 3 parts of the IP Address should be the same, i. Make sure that the HomeGroup password has not changed.
You can check the HomeGroup password on another computer and then use that one to join the HomeGroup. Hello I've been searching and trying things out, but it hasn't helped yet. This thread is locked.
