Sharing Win7/Mac on home network?

[Meisha]

I had to reinstall Windows 7, and can't enable sharing with Mac computers on Windows 7. I've enabled Network Discovery, File and printer sharing, and I've set the folders I want to share. There are Macs on the network, but I can't see them from Windows 7. I opened the Network Map, and they don't show up there. I'm wondering if I made a mistake when I specified that it was a home network, becasue at one point I got the window telling me a Homegroup password, and i've read the Homegroup cannot access Macs. I entered a name for a Workgroup, but it isn't a Business Network, and specifying home network seems to default to Homegroup. The Macs on the network are visible to my iPad and other Macs, so I know they're online, but not visible from my Windows 7 (Pro 64bit) computer. Could anyone please offer advice about the proper way to set this up? Thank you for your help!

Quick start disable ipv6 as its not used only by homegroups so if thats the problem it will kill homegroup
