    How does this HomeGroup work


    Where or how am I supposed to access this HomeGroup in Win7HP? I don't see a Home Group icon anywhere. It's not like XP with the Network Neighborhood where I can see shared files. Thanks.

I have seen in the forums at least twice that IPV6 is required for Homegroups. As part of my elimination of anything I didn't need when Homegroups didn't work for me, I disabled IPV6 on both systems. I subsequently discovered that when I removed Norton 360, everything worked. I never went back...
