I had the pleasure of setting up a small network workgroup with 4 windows 7 ultimate pc's and 3 xp professional pc's. 1 of the windows 7 pc's became the server and successfully shares folders to the other windows 7 pc's 24/7. The shares were created with the homegroup option. I used advanced...

Hi Guys, I have a Zensonic Network Media Player which I'm having trouble getting it to see the Windows 7 shares and I believe the problem is with Windows 7. Basically all the Zensonic unit does is look at anything on the network in the same workgroup and then shows any shared drives. I have...

I have a Win 7/64 7100 and a Win 7/32 7100. My 64 bit platform set up the homeGroup just fine. My 32 bit Dell Dimension 4700 4 GB ram, after some time, displays the error message "Windows Cannot Setup HomeGroup on This Computer" I ran the networking troubleshooter and the HomeGroup...

Hi, I've seen other similar threads which have been resolved but my problem differs slightly. The problem started when I was trying to share files with an XP machine, however I'm not sure what the exact cause was. What changed before the problem: I played around in HomeGroup and advanced...

hi guys, I'm having some issues with sharing folders under windows 7. But let me first say that I use the german version of windows so my terminiology may not always be right (not to mention my english ;-)) ... I hope you get it nonetheless. So I'm describing the steps I did (numerous times -_-)...
