Can't Join HomeGroup
I've read several posts about this already but nothing has helped. I recently upgraded my vista desktop so I could use HomeGroup with my laptop. Both computers are now running Windows 7 Home Premium, 64-bit. At the moment, they are both plugged into my Belkin Play N600 Wireless Dual band N router.
Here's what's going on:
-I can create a HomeGroup from either computer but neither computer can join it
-When I run the troubleshooter, on either computer, it keeps telling me "All Homegroup computers must have the correct time," however, both computers do have the correct time and time zone (I even tried synching both w/ the internet time).
-I tried recreating and joining HomeGroup w/ all firewalls disabled... nothing.
-I tried recreating and joining HomeGroup w/ my antivirus software disabled... and then uninstalled... nothing.
-I tried reinstalling my router firmware and reconfiguring the router based on what a tech told me... nothing.
-I've made sure all the necessary services are running, that IPv6 is enabled, and that all the advanced sharing settings are correct... nothing.
-I've verified that both computers are on the same network and it's set as "home"... still NOTHING!
I've spent wayyyyy too much time trying to figure this stupid thing out . So, if anyone has any other suggestions, please let me know OR, if you know a different way to access files through the network (other than Homegroup or public folders), I am ready to look into other options.
Thanks in advance for any help!!!!!
