homegroup

Other libraries show up but I get a "see administrator (that's me) error" when I try to access them. All passwords are turned off and sharing turned on. Directories flagged "share with Homegroup" behave the same way. All four computers (3 Win8 Pro and 1 Win7 Home) have the same workgroup name...

Home group in windows 7 pro keeps becoming active after I leave the home group. After reboot it is active again even after I disabled it. Anyone have any ideas what might cause this. I had to disable it in the services to get it to stop becoming active.

I have deleted a user profile, including folders and data, but the user is still in the homegroup list. How is that possible?

I'm having trouble with my computer's homegroup. I have 3 computers, two laptops and a desktop. The two laptops connect via wifi (I have only 1 network for all 3) and my desktop via cable. For some reason, my desktop can't connect with the other two laptops (they both work correctly, meaning...

I use my home network to stream music and movies from my computers to my Xbox and TV. Now all of a sudden, nothing. Both computers are running Windows7 Ultimate x64, connected online through wifi, and connected to the network homegroup (that works without any issues), but neither or them detect...

So I have a Atheros 9285 wireless card in my laptop, but now for like 3 months it keeps saying that I'm not connected to a network while in fact I am connected to my wifi network. I can browse the internet and all that but I can't use my homegroup... I was wondering if you guy's had a solution...

I have shared folders on my XP, 7, and 8 Machines. Homegroup is turned off, and disabled in services. I cannot see my entire Network on my Windows 8 machine, in Network and Sharing. Only the "Basic" network shows, and there is no option that I can see to view the entire Network. I had shortcuts...

I connect to net through a pen drive dongle. All settings are automatically created by a login bloatware that ISP has provided. I wanted my net to be homegroup but my ISP doesn't provide ipv6 so w7 had earlier said that homegroup can't be created without ipv6, so I had termed as workgroup in...

Hello, I have been googling this issue for a while now and searching these forums but have not found a solution. I have 4 computers all running Windows 7 64bit Ultimate. They have all been part of the same Homegroup for a while now and have worked fine. They all run the same Avast Free...

Apologies if this is elsewhere, but I've been searching Google for the past hour and am continuing to have issues, and can't seem to find the solution that works. I just got two new harddrives for my birthday - one for my desktop, and one for my laptop. The desktop drive is 3 TB, which Windows...

Hello, I was wondering is it possible to remove all home groups and start from scratch. I have two win7 64bit computers but somehow I have messed up the networking so much I would like to start over. Both computers can use the internet but they do not connect to each other. If it is possible to...

EDIT 2: New information again, I tried copying the files without using a homegroup and it all worked just fine. Any ideas as to why things transfer fine without a homegroup and just regular sharing but not with a home group? Any help would be appreciated, I would really rather use a homegroup...
