Cant share files
I have 1 Desktop, 1 Laptop and 1 tablet all running Windows 7 Home Premium and all 3 are wireless. I created a Homegroup on one of the computers. When I went to one of the other computer it would not let me join a workgroup it would only let me create one. So I decided to Map Network Drives. I was able to map all the folders I wanted to share from the desktop to the laptop but when I tried to map drives to the laptop it would keep asking me for a password but the laptop does not have a password. So I tried to map the drives on the tablet but it would not see it. So after just playing around (can’t remember at this time what I did since I did many different things) I was able to get everything mapped with all 3 computers. But then I would go back to one of them and the mapped drives would not work so I would try to remap them and I could not see the other computer. It would work on and off. One minute I could access the files then the next I could not. Does it sound like my router is going bad? But the weird thing if I will lose my lan network (not being able to see other computers) but all computers can still access the internet. Also I disconnect all mapped drives but some won’t let me because it states that the network is not found. How can I remove those drives?
Sorry for such a long post and I hope it makes sense so someone can help.
Thanks,
Dennis
