Hmm. Out of the blue pc2 has stopped detecting the old homegroup and i have successfully created a new homegroup. Now i just have to see if I can get pc1 to connect to it.

what about the peer networking identity manager service? PNRP is dependant upon this service, and grouping service is dependant on both identity manager and PNRP
Peer networking identity is turned on. When i try to turn on PNRP it brings up an error.
I'm a a wired PC and a wireless notebook.
I thought that might cause a trouble, but not.
I was receiving the "you must be on a home network" to create a group, but I already was (according to the Net & Sharing Center). Also the machines where on the same workgroup, etc etc etc and all the etc you can imagine.
The solution ?
I had the IPV6 turned of, on both, and decided to check that (nonsense) alternative, and .... it worked !!!!
Yes, I've activated IPV6 on the desktop and it let me create the homegroup, and set ipv6 on notebook, and also let me join !!
Now to test. Hope it solve your problems,
I'm still stuck at the very beginning. Both computers are connected via cable (wireless card on the laptop is disabled) to the same FIOS switch/router device. On both computers I can create and leave a homegroup, but on neither computer can I join a workgroup that exists on the other computer.
I've discovered a new symptom since my original post. I have a Sony PS3 and it 'discovered' my laptop as a media center, but it never sees the desktop.
Right where you set your IPv4 setting, on the adapter setting (where you used to change the IP address and gateway etc on XP)
There, you have Internet Protocol V 4 and V6, I had to set IPv6 enabled in order to HomeGroups work
Attached the graphic
yep - that's what I did. My ipv6 was already enabled on both computers. I disabled it, tested, the enabled it and tested again. No joy.
