    How can I create a homegroup


    Hello,
    I want to create a homegroup to establish a connection between two computers , first is a Laptop and the second is a Pc , these are information about them :
    For the Laptop
    -It has a DSL connection , I use PPPoE connection.
    -It has an integrated Wireless device.
    next image illustrates network and sharing center:



    For the PC
    -It has a wireless LAN card.

    Two computers are using Windows 7.

    Click on homegroup where it says "ready to create" and follow instructions - if that wont work click change advanced settings on the left, and try these settings :

    Homegroup - Create

    1 turn on network discovery
    2 turn on file and printer sharing
    3 turn off public folder sharing (----)
    4 media streaming up to you
    5 use 128 encryption
    6 turn off password protected sharing
    7 use user accounts and sharing to connect to other computers

    If you want to share a printer it needs enabling on the host machine in devices and printers (control panel) - right click printer - printer properties - sharing - tick share this printer
