Not able to share files between computers
Hi! I'd like to share files between two laptop computers in our home - both have Windows 7 system. I've not been successful in setting up this ability,so far.
We use a Netgear router, and have a wireless network through that. I see my computer says we already have a homegroup - so it is through Netgear router. So I see no need to set up an additional homegroup in order to share with the other computer.
But when I click on "Share With" button - and select "Homegroup Read/write," it doesn't have the black dot next to it when I go back to check if it's still there.
I am the administrator in each of my 2 computers. So that's already set.
But I'm still unable to share files to the other computer, as I get the complaint that I haven't yet given them the ok to do so yet. What do you recommend I do to fix this problem? Thanks!
By the way, a Computer help forum in Facebook - recommended I use Netcap to enable sharing. But I'm not successful with downloading that. It complains that I lack something I need to get it to work - but fails to explain what it is that I lack.
