    Homegroup not working since router change


    I have a PC and two laptops running W7 HP which have been happily connected via a Homegroup since W7 Beta.

    Last week I had to replace my router and in doing so change the wireless SSID and security key which the two laptops use - the PC is connected via ethernet.

    Now both the laptops can see each other and the PC, but the PC can only see one of the laptops - the other doesn't appear under Homegroup at all.

    I tried changing the Homegroup password but it didn't help.

    Any ideas welcome.

    You may need to create a new Homegroup because of the router change.

    As for the machines that can't see each other, which A/V software or third party firewall are you using?
