[bigbobbarker]

I have a desktop with w7 on it its called Gary-PC (wired connection) i also have a laptop called Gary-pc (wireless) I am trying to get the files off of my desktop to my laptop, i have created a homegroup on both but my desktop does not see any of the groups (my sis has a laptop as well) does the fact that both are called Gary-PC screw up the connection between the 2
