Problems accessing libraries via homegroup
Hello all, I would appreciate as much help as I can get with this problem. It has been driving me nuts for a few days. Ill start by explaining the problem.
When I try to access the libraries on my laptop (user account independent) from my desktop via homegroup, the libraries never load. The desktop displays my laptop under homegroup in windows explorer, but instead of displaying the normal icons for the libraries, a generic icon is shown. I have attached a screen shot of what i am explaining. My laptop can access the libraries on the desktop with no problem, it just doesnt work going the other way.
I have run the homegroup trouble shooter on both computers and no problems could be found. I left the homegroup on my laptop and then rejoined; the problem still persists. I have turned off my firewall to see if it was causing the problem, but with the firewalls turned off on both computers the problem still persists. I have right clicked on the libraries and share with - homegroup read/write. I dont know what else to do.
Again, I would appreciate any help with this, thanks in advance!
