now just a big homegroup/network mess
Homegroup. I used to have a Homegroup working perfectly. then i had really slow speeds only 1 mbps. so, i heard someone saying that mapping network drives would be better. so i mapped a network drive. it was not better. now unfortunately, i can't even move on to trying to handle my 1mbps sluggish almost unnusable speed accross my N network, because my homegroup is not even working properly.
now, when i go to right click to share a folder, i only get "advanced Sharing" when i choose "share with..." i don't have the whole list with homegroup read, homegroup read/write and all that.
I've also developed a bunch of locks on a bunch of folders i'd like to have removed, i assume these things are related. i think it was mapping the drive that took possession of folders or something and i'd like to undo that.
is there some kind of simple way i can just go back to the way it all was in the beginning? I don't really want to reformat my computers. but i'll tell you what... i'm not far off from that point.
if someone could help me, you'd really have made my day. i've been looking for solutions to things like this, and other people seem to have similar problems and questions, but i haven't found any solutions really.
oh ya, and one more thing, i'm not sure if this is related or if the solution can be similar, but i also can only log on remote desktop from my desktop computer to my laptop, whereas once upon a time i could go both ways, and really the only direction that matters to me is the other way. both my computers are password protected and have administrator rights. i get error asking me to make sure other computer accepts remote connections and is on and everything and it all checks out. i tried a couple of things, turning it on and off, and nothing.
again, any help would be hugely appreciated.
