📎 AI Summary:
The original poster is having trouble setting up the Windows HomeGroup feature, as it reports that they don't have a home network despite having the setting enabled. A respondent suggests bypassing HomeGroup by accessing other PCs through the Network folder, noting that it should work if a DHCP network is established. The original poster clarifies they want to use HomeGroup to control Xbox music playback, but the second user admits they are unaware of that feature and does not have an Xbox. Overall, the discussion centers on troubleshooting HomeGroup setup with some curiosity about its functions with Xbox devices.

having a hard time setting up home group its telling me that i dont have a home network which yes im set to home network. Any ideas?
 

Solution
Don't use 'home group' IMO. If you already have a networked connection in your home that uses DHCP, you should still be able to see all the PCs if you open the Network folder.

I wanted to try out home group to use the new feature that allows me to control what music my xbox is playing.
