Networking problems with Win7's homegroup
I am having a problem getting my three computers to join the homegroup. 2 of the computers are wireless (no problem between these two), and the third is wired. The wired computer is only showing to create a new homegroup (which neither of the wireless ones can access). All computers see the others when you click on network, but the others do no show up in the homegroup. Any ideas?

Hi, According to your description, I suggest to temporally disable firewall and antivirus program on Windows 7 machine. And please go to network and sharing center\change advanced sharing settings, make sure the network discovery, file and printer sharing are turned on. Also follow this article to troubleshoot the homegroup issue: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Why-can-t-I-join-a-homegroup http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/help/home-sweet-homegroup-networking-the-easy-way#section_5 Hope that helps.
