Add a new computer to the workgroup

Hello again,


I am setting up a new computer with SSD boot. Windows7 installed, Driver disk run and ethernet recognized.


Though I've added to the workgroup before on other machines , something keeps this node from displaying on the desktop. No workgroup-- the workgroup is called HOMENET in that way-- is seen even after it said welcome to HOMENET etc.


A broadband box is checked with a green check which I may have selected in error during setup. I disabled that to highlight Local Area Connection (this is all I need or want for the homenet.) That has some settingswhich I am not familiar with.


Opening Network icon is still empty.


Can you help clean this up? If it means re-installing that is totally doable.

Some progress. In one of the dialogs I did not have home identified.


I have all the icons including the MSI-SSD named node.
However opening the MS-SSD forced a Win7 Diagnostic.



The attachment shows the remaining error:

Success.


Though I cannot give the exact dialog I used to straighten out homenet/homegroup from biz net.
I was able, once that was found, to find the file sharing dialog which I had not looked at in a long time.


Are there any checks I need to do from the 'broadband' checked error?


Will mark solved after a day of use.
