Windows 7 Firewall and the Homegroup
Yes, sometimes these 2 features from the same company do work together but if they dont, FORGET trying to fix unless you have nothing else to do for a couple of weeks. You will get no Microsoft as all their stuff assumes win7 never not works fine. They said use the Homegroup troubleshooter but it says it is a NETWORK problem and the Network troubleshooter says it cant find a fix.
Mines has worked great for months, my desktop and laptop, both, win 7 Home Premium, 64bit but it stopped sharing, and I suspect it is the firewall,
Can anyone tell me how to make the Firewall EXCEPT its own Homegroup? yes, I know it is SUPPOSE to accept the Homegroup but TWICE in the last couple months, it has done this.
I just can not see ANY setting, etc to add to the firewall afterr resetting it to the default which also does not work.
