Chev65; Thanks for the link - I have set up the homegroup - I only want to see it from my laptop - do I have to select to share in order to view this?

There are quite a few problems with wireless adaptors lately, hard to say for sure if that might be it. Is the laptop plugged in or wireless?
I am a very novice user - How do I set to 'workgroup'? I would really like to use homegroup as this is why I purchased Windows 7
There are tutorials like this one all over the internet. This should make it easy for you latherton. Homegroup will only work with other Windows 7 computers in the network.
Set up HomeGroup in Windows 7
Thanks, I think I have been through just about every tutorial in last 3 days; I am definitely missing something.
This one also?
Share libraries with your homegroup
Click on the "share with" homegroup read/write one.
I think the main problem is that my laptop is not allowing me to access the network that my desktop is using.... I have no idea how to correct this.
If you already set up homegroups up on the desktop first, you should have recieved a homegroup password when you did that. For me, the second I install Windows 7 on another machine in my network, I'm greeted with a prompt to type in the homegroup password right then and there and that's it, I'am connected.
I'am not sure if you have gone through that procedure or not but that is the way it's supposed to work.
