One PC can join, but can not see other Homegroup computers
Hi,
I'm trying to connect 3 computers - 1 desktop and 2 laptops - all Windows 7 Professional x64.
Desktop wired, laptops - wireless, same router, home network...
Windows Homegroup is working well between the desktop and one of the laptops.
The other laptop can join the homegroup, but ... "No other homegroup computers are currently available".
Anyway other computers and shared folders are visible under Network folder.
Other machines can see each other in the HomeGroup, but this laptop is missing.
I have shared Libraries on every machine.
After hours of investigations I found that when joining homegroup from this laptop, Homegroupuser$ is not created in Control Panel/Administrative tools/Computer management/Local Users and Groups/User.
Also in Control Panel/Credential Manager/Windows Credentials there are no any items like in the other machines (Credentials like MACHINE_NAME\Homegroupuser$)
No third party firewall.
Microsoft Security Essentials - Engine Version: 1.1.9302.0
Windows Firewall - Homegroup allowed.
services - HomeGroup Listener, HomeGroup Provider, Peer Name Resolution Protocol, Peer Networking Grouping and Peer Networking Identity Manager - started, though in Manual mode.
This laptop can create Homegroup and other machines can join it, but the situation is getting worse - no one can see any other machine.
HomeGroup troubleshooter can not see any problems.
I'm considering missing Homegroupuser$ is the problem in my case.
Pls help.
