I'm running a LAN with several computers (3 windows flavors + Linux), Ethernet and WiFi. This Windows-7 computer keeps telling me that my Homegroup password has changed -- although everything still seems to work. _I_ never changed it! Is it possible some virus did so?

The "Network and Sharing Center" dialog that purports to let me see the Homegroup password is grayed out.

I don't want or need a Homegroup password. How can I make it "None?"

Simplest is to remove home group and just use work group it uses ipv6 which isn't needed and creates extra traffic
