No access to homegroup
Hi,
some days ago I've installed Windows 7 Professional x64 on my notebook. My brother has Windows 7 Home Premium x86. We're both in the same homegroup, have a fixed IP address and no firewall active. But somehow we I can't really get access to the other computer. We both have shared folders and "network recognition" enabled (I translated the German name. Hopefully it is right...or you know what I mean.).
He can see my computer in the explorer under "Home group" but he can't see my shared files. Only when he uses the old network environment explorer he can access to my shared folders.
Anyhow, I can't see his computer in the home group. But I can also access to his files in the network environment.
Before Windows 7 Professional I've also had Home Premium and everything was fine. It was easy to right click on a folder > share with > home group.
So I assume that my sharing options are wrong or something similar.
Maybe you've got advice for us :)
Thanks
Martin
