homegroups

I have a laptop with Win 7 using wireless. I upgraded my HP desktop to Win 7. Both have HomeGroups but only 1 shows the name of the homegroup. I can't figure out how to get both these computers on the same homegroup and to recognize each other. Thanks

My setup: 3 year old HP Pavillion PC, 3 month old Acer Aspire Laptop, 1 month old E3000 Cisco router, HP Printer, 3 month old Windows 7 on both computers, latest downloads, etc. Current configuration: both computers connected to router via Ethernet cable. Printer connected to router wirelessly...

OK guys -- as I've posted else where I'm happy with X-32. Now I'm seriously testing the 64 bit version. For 64 bit only build 7000 seems available at the moment even from "the usual places" where treasure can be found.:razz::razz: Strange networking problem - even with all firewalls off...
