Anyone had the chance to setup W7 in 2 PCs at home?
I set up a Homegroup on my network in one pc, and the other one sees it at once, and asks to connect to the homegroup. I provide the homegroup password and after trying and trying, I get an error message that this computer cannot connect to the homegroup..
Did anyone try that?
Homegroup works fine for me, i am able to access all resources on my second PC, both are on WIFI :-P
Check Screens Below, PJMONKEE is the second PC (my sisters PC), both have 6956

hmm...then it's got to be something with my setup.
Kryptonit, what is your UAC status on the PCs? is it on or off?
Have you disabled the firewall or anything?
Have you enabled any other options on the HomeGroup starter pc? ( password sharing, public network settings etc?)
Regards
do you have network discovery on??
did you try the homegroup on both machines???
(setup from both??)
I have UAC completely turned off on both PC's
And for Network Sharing
Turn On Network Discovery
Turn on File and Printer Sharing (you can set permissions for shared folders and files)
And on my network:
Turn on sharing so anyone with network access can open, change and create file
**again even with that on, you can set read-only to shared folders and files**
Media Sharing:
Media sharing is on.
Password Protected Sharing:
Turn On password Protected sharing
Windows HomeGroup Connections:
Allow Windows HomeGroup to manage homegroup connections
**if not you will need the user account name and password of the other PC**
Thanks a lot for the tips, I believe it had to do with either the VMWARE virtual network cards, they belonged in a Public Network which was somehow conflicting... (?) or the network bridge I had made.
It was fixed when I disabled them both...
