Homegroup and sharing problem
Hello people,
I know this is just another topic on homegroup problems, but I did a search around the forum and could not find anything that looks like my kind of trouble, so here I am, asking for your help.
The situation is this: I have a desktop PC and a laptop, both running Windows 7. The Pc is wired-ly connected to a DLink router while the notebook uses wireless connection to the same network. What I did try was to set up a homegroup on the laptop in order to have something shared with the PC, but I could not get the PC to see anything of the shared libraries. What's strange is that I can see both computers in Network.
Both are using ESET Smart security and while testing, I tried turning off both computers' firewalls or setting them to Learning mode, but no prompts appeared so I could not allow the requested connection.
What bothers me more is that after 10-15 minutes, the computers stopped seeing each other and also, I could ping one to the other.
Does anyone have suggestions for me to try in order to solve the problem? I mean, homegroups are meant to make our lives easier, aren't they!
