    Cant join homegroup from other computer?


    I have created a homegroup on one computer, but on the other computer I cant join it, it says "There is no homegroup on the network". I have tried every suggestion from Why can't I create a homegroup? . What else can I do? Both of the computers are behind a switch. Below is a picture of the network map from network and sharing center.

    Hello Borut, and welcome to Sevenforums

    Go into network and sharing center, and on the far left, click "Change advanced sharing settings".
    Make sure Network discovery, file and printer sharing, and "Allow windows to manage homegroup connections" are all turned on (you may want to turn on public folder sharing as well).

    Additionally, go to Control Panel>Network and Internet>Homegroup and make sure you have selected the things you are willing to share. You can also view the password in this page if you are the host, or you can start the homegroup troubleshooter. Now follow this picture to get to the homegroup join page:

    If you still can't, restart the computer and try again. Failing that, update your computer. Failing that, you have a deeper problem.
