"Homegroup" and non-Win7 PC's
I have 2 desktop PC's, both hard-wired to a DSL router/gateway. One runs Win7 HP-64,
the other runs W2k sp4.
I had it set up so the 2 PC's shared a directory. File sharing worked OK.
The Win7 system presented me with one of those lovely screens that forced me
to choose between some undefined net options. "Homegroup" looked innocuous and I
selected it.
I now have no access to the other PC. Not at all what I needed.
In a nutshell, what is "Homegroup"? An MS artifact for Win7 systems only?
Can I just 'delete' "Homegroup" and regain my former local net access? If
it is Win7-only I have no use for it.
Thx,
Puddin'
