can't add win 8 pc to win 7 homegroup

My new win 8 laptop isn't aware of my win 7's homegroup and vice versa. They ARE on the same network and they ARE both in discover mode. For both, I see the password for that device's homegroup, but there's no space for me to put in a password for the other device's homegroup. 

(I love my very souped up Win7 desktop but when my old laptop died last month, at this point I wish I'd looked into Macs rather than buying this silly Win8 laptop. And the problem with the laptop is NOT the hardware.)

Thanks in advance for whatever help you can provide.
