Can't connect to homegroup via wireless router on laptop.
Problem is as stated, and I swear I have just about tried everything.
Our network is pretty simple, our internet goes into our Modem/Router, which we have our main computer hooked up to, and then we have a second Wireless Router connected to that giving me wifi access to the internet.
I have also had a good read of this link and tried everything as stated in there to no avail: Ultimate Troubleshooting Guide for Windows 7 HomeGroup Connection Issues
There was one thing I saw within these forums I have tried but HAVEN'T succeeded in doing, there was a mention of accessing C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\LocalService\AppData\Roaming\PeerNetworking and clear all the files from within that folder, but when I get to \localService I seem to be looking at everything that's inside my documents I THINK, well at the very least I don't see \AppData.
Now interestingly enough I do have internet connectivity going to the laptop, but when I go into the network tab within computer I can only see the laptop computer itself and not the other computer, the same goes for looking at the same screen on the desktop computer, can't see the laptop computer.
Now I have isolated the problem and it is definitely the wireless router, as I have gotten out an ethernet cable and hooked the laptop up directly to the Modem/Router and both computers can be seen on the network diagram screen. The firewall inside the router is turned off too, and so is the firewall on the laptop, the firewall on the desktop isn't turned off but I've never had any issues with the firewall on litterally anything YET, and the computer can be seen on the network diagram if hooked up directly to the modem/router so I'm assuming that it won't be that.
Computer specs:
Desktop - Windows 7 Home 64bit
Laptop - Windows 7 Professional 32bit.
I also noticed that before posting you guy's always like a screenshot of the ipconfig/all command before posting anything that's wireless so that too is attached at the bottom of this post.
Thanks for looking! :)
