Homegroup networking problem
I have two computers, both running Windows 7 Ultimate. They are linked by a wireless network through a TP-Link wireless router. The main computer is named 'Office', as that's where I use it. The second computer is called 'Class' and is situated in a room where I teach, adjacent to the office. My problem: The 'Office' computer is online 24/7. The 'Class' computer is only used when I am teaching. When I turn the 'Class' computer on, I can never connect to the 'Homegroup' without rebooting the 'Office' computer, which is really annoying. Many files that I use for teaching are on the 'Office' computer, so I need the 'Homegroup' connection. After a reboot of the 'Office' computer, everything works! How can I avoid having to reboot like this? Is there something wrong with the setup? Any advice would be very helpful, thank you.
