homegroup password setup problem
thanks for viewing my topic,
i have three laptops im working with currently. they are all running windows 7 ultimate 64bit. i set up a homegroup on computer 1 with a password. computer 2 was able to join the homegroup with no problems, the password worked perfectly, and can share files perfectly. computer 3 however cannot connect to the homegroup. it recognizes the homegroup, and shows it as being created on computer 1 just like it is supposed to. when i try to connect however, it tells me the password is invalid.
i have tried multiple times to re-create the password and change it and everytime, computer 3 will not connect to computer 1's homegroup due to an "invalid password." all of the computers are connected wirelessly to the same home network. computer 2 is connected in the same way that computer 3 is, and i cannot see any problems with the network at all. all of the computers can see eachother fine on the network.
any help is greatly appreciated!
Edit: i have also tried completely reinstalling windows on the problem computer.
