Trying to network. Both computers Have same name. Namechange probs
As the title states, I'm trying to start a homegroup. I start one up, and being that both of my computers have the same name, they don't see each other.
I've got that part figured out, I just need to rename the laptop!
Woo, that's all fine and dandy, except when I renamed my laptop from Ken-PC (the name shared by both laptop and desktop) to KenLaptop and rebooted, there was a whole slew of problems caused by the namechange. Very long story somewhat shortened, it looked like I was booting up win 95.
Multiple error screens, very retro GUI, all fixed by renaming my laptop Ken-PC again.
I'm just trying to be able to share my files between the two computers! HEEEELP!
I thank you for reading, and at the very least, being able to vent if nobody can help.
