When i was using Beta and RC, i just follow the on screen instructions and easily set up a home network.
I just upgraded to RTM, and now homegroup won't let me create.
When i click create home group, and check some boxes, i get an error saying
"windows cannot set up homegroup on this computer"
WHY?!?
any help appreciated.
I had the same problem when i upgraded to RTM, i solved my issue by making sure that the times on both machines are exactly synchronized.
Even 1/2 second out it still wouldn't let me.
Give that a go and let us know
hi, thanks for the reply. But i don't have a homegroup yet.
Basically i can't great a home group. so i don't know if the time sync thing is it. since i have nothing to sync with
very werid. when it was RC, as soon as i connected to the network, windows automatically asked to set up homegroup. and it was done in seconds.
Why do you need HomeGroup if you don't have a second PC?since i have nothing to sync with
both computers have to have same password as when u set up,and have u disabled any services?I think u might need server for a start,but not sure
rover3500 -You don't need to be running a server to use HomeGroup. :)

. The Server service is a requirement.
