Home Group and Network Issues
I have two computers on a home network (linksys); wireless (and lan) connections. I have several problems which may be related (or not) and any help is greatly appreciated.
1. Homegroups: I've been around and around. Neither computer "thinks" it is in shared homegroup. I've tried everything I can think of. Passwords are the same, just nothing.
2. In Explorer from the Desktop, I can see the notebook but when I click on it to expand it I am asked for a network user and password. Never before. What is this? I added a Windows credential in the Credential manager but still didn't work.
3. Printing from the notebook to the printers connected (USB) to the desktop is very flakey (maybe because of the home group issue?). Both my network printers are "offline" as far as the notebook is concerned but not from the desktop.
THANKS
