call microsoft support and they got me the fix for the homegroup problem

1. On Main Computer, leave whatever homegroup you started.
2. On Main Computer, Reboot
3. On Main Computer, Go and start a new Homegroup
4. On Main Computer, Write down temp password
5. On Main Computer, Reboot
6. Go to Second Computer and Leave what Group your on there (if your in no group, skip this step)
7. On Second Computer disconnect from the Internet
8. On Second Computer, connect back to your internet
9. On Second computer, go to network and sharing center
10. On Second Computer,Wait till you see joinable network
11. On Second Computer, type in temp password
12. There you go.

Did not work with a Win7 Home Premium desktop and a Win7 starter on a netbook. But in all fairness, we can't even get the netbook to see the other computer in the home network. Connects to the internet just fine.
