Why should I rebuild anything? I have a brand new, less than two weeks old, Windows 7 x64 professional machine with roughly six additions to the OS beyond the basic install of Windows and whatever diagnostic crap that Dell put on the box. It seems to run reliably except for its inability to access a remote computer. I have an XP machine...that I have kept clean and defragged and been diligent about...that does every task I ask it to do including seeing and accessing files on the Win7 machine, with no complaint.
If Windows 7 is so fragile that I cannot create a Homegroup and then leave it without destroying the OS, I ought to be dumping Windows 7, not thinking about rebuilding. We all ought to be.
As for six pages...better to contemplate the over 3,000 threads in the Networking sub-topic (and over 24,000 posts) alone...and I suspect less than 30% successful resolutions of the questions that instigated those threads.
What's wrong with this picture folks?
