Homegroup Trouble... Help!!
Hi folks,
I've been reading these forums for a while and they have provided tons of solutions for me, hopefully you can help me now :)
I have finally gotten round to installing 7100 on three machines (Mum's desktop, my Mini9 and my desktop), and decided to try out the new homegroup feature. Unfortunately it has not been as easy as I had hoped.
My mum's desktop is the first computer to have 7100 installed and therefore owns the password for the group. When I connected my mini it worked fine, no problems at all. I thought, "Great! mine should be easy!". WRONG!!!
First of all, when I would try to connect with the standard password it would say that it was incorrect (I checked multiple times, it was entirely correct). So, I changed it and tried again, it would not connect, but this time it would only say that it can't connect.
At this point I used the trouble shooter on my machine and it said that our system times are different, so I synchronized them, and it still didn't fix the problem. Now it is just saying that I can't connect with no explanation...
So, I figured it might be a problem with mum's machine. I went straight to the troubleshooter and it said there was a problem with Norton Internet Security (which she installed against my advice, I'm running AVG and haven't had any problems). I turned off everything in Norton and tried again. No dice...
We can both see each other on the network, but we can't access files or share anything. We can both see and access our home server, but mum can't back anything up. I'm fresh out of ideas, and any help would be awesome!!
