HomeGroup problems (Junctions? Permissions?)
Hi SevenForums gurus!
I've utilised this forum a few times to fix issues with my Seven installs, so thanks for this awesome resource...
With that out of the way, my current problem is my inability to get HomeGroup to work properly...
On my PC I have Win 7 Pro with my OS installed on a 64GB SSD. I have my Users and Program Files junctioned to my 1.0TB data drive...
When I set up a HomeGroup on either my PC, or my media server (Win 7 Ult) I can see the media server in the HomeGroup but I can't open any of its libraries... on the server I can sometimes see my PC, but I can't get any sharing options to stay on my PC thus the server normally reports "no homegroup computers found"...
Both harddrives include files/folders from previous installs (I recently shuffled some harddrives around to finish building a second gaming PC), so I'm wondering if it could be a ownership/permission problem... as far as I can tell the right users own the right folders, and the HomeUsers seems to appear to have permission in the relevant folders when I click "Share with: HomeGroup"...
I'm getting really frustrated with this, and in the meantime I'm going to setup standard sharing, but I'd like to utilise the library function if I can... I spent a few hours last night setting up IPv6 on my network (which included flashing my router with DD-WRT) thinking that must be the problem, but still no avail!
Help me Obi-Wan Sevenobi!
