Hey, I have been having a great time with Win 7 so far but I have runinto a little problem. I have currently3 computers setup onHomegroup(2 desktops and a laptop). Everythingwas working great until I tried to get a 4th computer (Toshiba brandedlaptop)in our Homegroup. Thepassword will notwork, it is telling us that the password is incorrect and thus we can't get it setup like the other 3 PCs.I can garentee that the password is drilled in my brain as I have done it 3 times before and have been trying to get this one to work for about 5 or so hours in total between today and yesturday. I've even got the other laptop off the network to see if there is some sort of unstated limit on the Homegroup, thats obviously not the case as it still wouldnt work. I put the working lappy back on the Homegroup and have been trying everything I could think of in terms of getting this PC to play nice with the rest of the house.Ive ran out of ideas, anyone got a suggestion?Thx,KillerHurdz.

First, no need to paste passwords here. It's completely irrelevant and, even no one here can probably access your network, it's unsafe and a bad idea.Second, I'm also having problems with HomeGroups but in my case,I can't add a second computer to mine. When I try, I get an error message that reads: "Windows HomeGroup: a homegroup can only be created on a Home network. To chage your network location, open Network and Sharing Center in Control Panel". The funny part is that I'm already connected to a WiFi network that is set as "Home network" as seen from the Control Panel.Any ideas? Is there any technical document that explains how HomeGroup works? It seems the computer I'm trying to add to the HomeGroup fails to detect the existing HomeGroup.

That happend to me, my problem was that my main PC (the one that STARTED the homegroup) was turned off. See if thats the problem, the PC that created the Homegroup has to be on, which it probably is but I cant think of anything else.And no, the only help info built into the OS is... well, lets just say its not very deep in it's help topics.

The machine that created the HomeGroup is on and working. Moreover, the PC I'm trying to add to the HomeGroup is in the same Wireless network and seems to know it can join a HomeGroup. However, when trying to, it fails. Interesting :)

I have the suspicion that this is related to the fact the PC that created the HomeGroup is connect to the Wireless network via 802.11n. I've been experiencing problems with my 802.11n connections but connecting to a different access point using 802.11g works fine.

As far as I'm aware, all of our PCs are either wired or running 802.11g, the laptop that wont work is wireless. Only one of the machines is wired and its not the one that created the Homegroup.

I am having the same problem as Felipe. I get the error message that a home group can only be set up in a home environment. I have this set up and I tried, work and public networks as well. I still haven't figured it out

Hey, I am having the 'Incorrect Password' error message as well. I have my main desktop hard wired to my router, and my laptop is wirelessly conencted to my router. I am using a D-Link WBR 1310 router if that helps!

So I've set up 3 Win7 machines and tried to create (host) a homegroup on each of them in turn and tried to join their homegroups with the other 2. Not one machine was able to host a homegroup successfully. I always get an error message (0x8063094). I've even changed the password to 12345678. That way there's no way I can get it wrong!!!, yet it's always wrong according to win7. !!! So easy looking and yet so hard to make work :-(

Just added a fourth machine and tried to host a homegroup on it ...... same result ...error BTW the code I gave in the first message is missing a digit : 0x80632094. Also, yes there is full reachability between all machines and they are able to exchange files quite happily usingnormal networkfile sharing. Can anyone throw light on this problem?

In the local area connection properties, ensure that IP v6 is checked (enabled).I had the same problem, and found the solution on another post. Once I checked IP v6 and tried it again, everything worked without errors.If the v6 protocol was turned off in Vista and you upgraded to Win 7 the state of that setting will remain.AW

This just happened to me, and I was tearing my hair out - until I found that windows wasn't updating either. The problem - my system was too far out of time with normal time... ie it thought it was 2006.Check your system clock, make sure it is real time and date.When I changed it, suddenly I could join the homegroup.jim

For some reason it doesn't want to connect to MS's time server, so I changed it to time.nist.gov. Clock updated, problem solved.

Wow! I had the same problem with the "incorrect password" and was starting to lose my mind. One computer did have the date off by one day. As soon as I corrected it, the password worked. What a ridiculous glitch. I am used to these weird issues now with Windows 7 in general, but this is totally unacceptable.

If you run network diagnostics it will usually tell you to check your time on the machines and time zones. Funny little hair puller.

There's a simple fix...I was having the same problem and in trying to figure it out, I noticed the time on the computer I was trying to connect had a date one month earlier than the current date. I also recalled in setting up the home group that all computers in the group must have the same time. I corrected the time and the computer connected..

Hey, I have been having a great time with Win 7 so far but I have run into a little problem. I have currently 3 computers setup on Homegroup (2 desktops and a laptop). Everything was working great until I tried to get a 4th computer (Toshiba branded laptop) in our Homegroup. The password will not work, it is telling us that the password is incorrect and thus we can't get it setup like the other 3 PCs. I can garentee that the password is drilled in my brain as I have done it 3 times before and have been trying to get this one to work for about 5 or so hours in total between today and yesturday. I've even got the other laptop off the network to see if there is some sort of unstated limit on the Homegroup, thats obviously not the case as it still wouldnt work. I put the working lappy back on the Homegroup and have been trying everything I could think of in terms of getting this PC to play nice with the rest of the house. Ive ran out of ideas, anyone got a suggestion? Thx, KillerHurdz. YOU MUST ENABLE FILE AND PRINTER SHARING ON THE NEW MACHINE YOU ARE TRYING TO JOIN THE HOME GROUP WITH. SAME PROBLEM HERE. KEPT SAYING PASSWORD WAS WRONG. I WENT TO INTERNET OPTION, ADVANCE, ENABLED FILE AND PRINTER SHARING AND PRESTO IT WORKS.

Had this problem today, figured I'd post my solution since I don't see the same on any other boards. Definitely make sure that you are selecting the same encryption also. For some reason the fresh installation of 7 that I just did had 40-56 bit encryption set. Changed to 128 bit and all was well. This I understand, but the time issue boggles the mind.

Kudos on the wrong date. I was off by only a day, and it would not accept the password.

I bought an ASUS U56E and the date was set 8 days ahead and I had to change the date and time and that solved the Homegroup "incorrect" password error I was having. Thank you for the tip...

I was having trouble setting up a 2 computer homegroup. The second computer seemed unable to connect to the network despite double & triple checking the password. I was using the default password supplied by Windows on the first machine. Finally, on a hunch, I changed the password on the first machine. Bingo!! Homegroup accessible by the second computer.
