media server

So I have a laptop with my entire music library on it, and a desktop with part of my music library on it. My ipod is synced to my laptop, but what I've found lately is I'll hear a song on my desktop, either add it to a list to download to my laptop later, or download it and use one of many...

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...

Good Morning, I hope you'll forgive a bit of a (probably) newbie question. I have avoided working with Vista since it's release due to the problems it had when it first came out, and general dislike of it etc. I recently decided to try windows 7 however, and I know it's got a LOT of...
