Homegroup - why is this not symmetrical?
I was experimenting with Windows 7's Homegroup feature. My main computer declared that it had created a homegroup and showed a password. I typed that pwd into my second computer and it said, it had now joined the homegroup.
Odd enough, I now see and can access the second computer from the first one (so obviously it indeed joined the first computer's home group), but for some strange reason I don't see the first computer from the second one. When I click on homegroup on computer 2 it tells me "No other homegroup computers are currently visible", even though it *has* joined the group and is visible from the other computer!
How can that be? Why is this homegroup not behaving "symmetrically" (i.e. such, that if A sees computer B, then B also sees A?)
