    HomeGroups - 1 Laptop not visible on HomeGroup


    I have 4 laptops, LT01, LT02, LT03, and LT04 running Windows 7 64 bit.

    All 4 laptops are visible (and inter-operable) with standard network.

    However, 1 laptop, LT02, is not visible in HomeGroup on LT01, LT03, LT04.

    Whereas LT01, LT03, LT04 are visible in HomeGroup on LT2.

    Granted its not a real show-stopper for me but it is very irritating.

    Done all the obvious thinks like setting up HomeGroup on LT02 and then joining the common HomeGroup.

    Any thoughts/suggestions?
