Problem setting up Home Group
I am running two machines with Win 7 BETA 32 bit and a laptop with VISTA Home Premium. I try to set up a home group. In the network and sharing center I have the link that says "Ready to Create" next to the HOMEGROUP label. I click that go through the steps of choosing what libraries to share etc. Then click "Create now" and I get this error : "A homegroup can only be created on a Home Network. To change your network location, open Network and Sharing Center in Control Panel." Here is the problem, I have created a home network. The name is showing correctly. I have local and internet on both win 7 computers. This is the same on BOTH computers, doesn't matter which I try it on. I was able to connect up to my shared printer connected to one WIN7 from the other. Just noticed under my Local Area Connection I have internet next to IPv4, but limited next to IPv6, not sure if that would have anything to do with it. They are both ethernet cabled to a D-Link DI-524 wired/wireless router. Any help with this issue would be greatly appreciated.
