Cannot join the homegroup to the second computer in the network.

I've recently updated my desktop pc and laptop with windows 7.  The office is a s 530 Dell Inspiron and the laptop is a Dell Inspiron 15.  The Office has managed to create a homegroup in windows 7, but I can't get the laptop to join.  I ran the wizard of troubleshooting many times without success.  Sharing files between computers is available, I can't just join the homegroup.  I have read several forums about ipv6, and although it shows that IPv6 is enabled, the status shows no network access.  I tried to leave the homegroup, stop and begin another without success as well.  Router is a Belkin N1 Vision 802.11n.  I can follow directions very well, but I'm not a genius with this stuff.  If there is something that I should be more specific, please let me know.  I'm going crazy here.

OK, that was my answer.  I have connected the laptop in the server and was immediately allowed to join the homegroup.  Once the initial installation has been made, I can now access homegroup wireless on the network without any problems.  I don't know why I had to connect using ethernet to set up.  New bug in the OS, I guess.  Thanks for the help.

  • Two computers (Win7), a homegroup. Why second computer cannot join the homegroup?

    I have two new laptops, in the two running Win7.  Computer laptop 1 runs 64 bit.  Laptop 2 runs 32 bit.  CradlePoint router used to set up a network home.  Both computers show as being on the host of the CTR network.

    Set up a homegroup on 1 laptop.
    Laptop computer 2 "joined".  Laptop 2 could see and read the files from the laptop 1.  Computer laptop 1 could NOT see cell phone 2.

    Restart both computers.  Same problem (portable 2 is invisible for 1 laptop, if 1 cell is visible for laptop 2).

    Computer laptop 1 has left the homegroup, intending to join in an attempt to solve the problem.  Now, when 1 laptop computer attempts to join the network, the message is: "There are currently no homegroup on the network", with the offer of "create a homegroup."

    Laptop 2 shows that there is clearly a homegroup, and he joined.

    What should I do to join the existing laptop 1 to the homegroup?
    This could possibly be linked to the 64 bit OS?  Can't imagine it would, but I'm at a complete loss here!

  • Cannot access the network ERR_NETWORK_ACCESS_DENIED

    I have Windows 7.  Nothing works, I tried chrome (which will not even load) and Firefox (it has been a constant problem with gmail for well over a year).

    Cannot access the network

    ERR_NETWORK_ACCESS_DENIED
    Google Chrome has access to the network.

    Maybe it's because your firewall or antivirus software wrongly think that Google Chrome is an intruder on your computer and it blocks to connect to Internet.

    Chrome allow access to the network in your firewall or anti-virus settings.
    If it is already listed as a program allowed to access the network, try to remove from the list and Add again.

    I tried the above, but can't seem to solve the problem.  Thank you.

    Note: Firewall and Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not turn off your antivirus software and firewalls. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you should reactivate as soon as you are finished.

  • Windows cannot create the network map. Responses of the other devices on the network are delayed or on the network, there is a router incapatible

    Original title: no network card
    I installed a NETGEAR N300 Wireless USB Adapter on my computer which is a desk top Dell 64-bit running Windows 7 Edition Home Premium. There are five computers on my network. Two of the others use the same model of NETGEAR wireless USB adapt. I removed the Ethernet cable after the installation of the wireless adapter. I can say that the new wireless adapter works fine. When I tried to map the network I got the same message that appears in some of these problems: "Windows cannot create the network map. Responses of the other devices on the network are delayed or there is a router on the network incapatible". I have restarted this computer in SafeMode as suggested in the above problems. I tried other things like disabling the wired connection has always existed for the cable. No effect. Then I tried mapping the network on the other computers. All failed with the same message. All the other four computers are 32-bit. Three of these computers are also running Windows 7 Home Premium. They are the best desktop computers. The other computer is a Windows 7 Starter netbook running. It is the 32-bit computer, always using a cable. That will be replaced with the same wireless adapter model NETGEAR. Anyone know how to fix this or is this a bug? It would be nice of the network software of Windows 7 has worked as it is supposed to. TO.

    I went the last wired wireless computer and the problem disappeared. The five computers can view the map now without any problems.

  • Airport Extreme is not able to join the network

    I'm trying to implement a repurposed Airport extreme in Bridge mode. Before, I was always able to use the "join the network" option, but now it only gives me the option to create, expand or inactive. I have a model a1521 (6th generation) that I have as my main router. I also have an express airport of old I have in Bridge mode. I am trying to add the a1143 (3rd generation) to the right network and put it in Bridge mode. Is intended to be used as a wireless print server until I can move my printer and the 6th gen at the same location. This option has been removed? am just missing something?

    Apple has removed the option "Register" for the AirPort Extreme (and Time Capsule) when it introduced version 6.x of the AirPort with Lion (10.7.3) utility about 3 years ago.

    If you have... or you can borrow for 15-20 minutes... a former Mac under Leopard (10.5.x) or Snow Leopard (10.6.x), or a PC with the utility AirPort for Windows installed on the device... you might be able to manually configure the old A1143 AirPort Extreme to 'join' the network using a version 5.x of AirPort Utility.

  • iPhone 5 c cannot detect the network.

    Since the last 9.2.1 update my iPhone 5 c cannot detect the network.  Constantly 'finding '.  It took to the local repair shop and he told me the imei is missing and only Apple can help.  Any ideas, thank you.

    A missing IMEI is a fatal error which cannot be set. This is usually the result of the attempt to jailbreak or hack the phone unlock illegally, but not exclusively.

    Where, exactly, do you have the phone? It was jailbroken? Never 'unlocked' by one person other than the carrier, so it was initially locked?

  • If I enable security on an ad hoc network, my Windows 7 client cannot recognize the network at all.

    XP host and client windows 7 on ad - hoc network...
    Dear friends, I have set up an ad hoc network between two laptops. The host is running on xp sp3 and the client is running windows 7.
    Now the problem is that if I enable security on the network, the client windows 7 cannot recognize the network at all.
    If I turn off security on the network ad-hoc, everything works fine and I can share files and access the internet on client... Please help

    Ok

    Now, I'm pretty sure that I understand your game up. Well done to get the internet connection, sharing of work (not a simple process) but without encryption.

    I am sure that the problem lies in the Windows 7 laptop (laptop 2). When you switch cell 1 to WEP, you must also pass portable 2 to WEP and provide the WEP key you have configured with laptop 1.

    It's getting late here now, but I'll try to answer tomorrow after I have test it on my two laptops to Windows 7. In the meantime maybe I can point you in the right direction...

    • Right-click the the small icon at the bottom right of your screen on laptop network 2 and then click on Open Network and Sharing Center
    • In network and sharing Center, click on manage networks wireless (nearby at the top left)
    • Click Add, and follow the wizard to create an ad hoc network, selecting WEP and providing the encryption key you configured on the notebook 1
    • Save the network so that you do not have to repeat this procedure.

    Otherwise, when you get to manage wireless networks, if your ad hoc network is already listed...

    • Right-click in your ad hoc network, and then click Properties
    • Click the Security tab
    • Change it to WEP and provide the encryption key
    • Click OK

    Good luck, I will pick up this new after my drowsiness.

  • Cannot join the homegroup

    I have two computers windows 7. One is a desktop computer and one is a laptop. I have a printer connected to my desktop computer. I'm trying to implement a homegroup on my desktop, so I can print from the files from my laptop and my desktop on my laptop access.

    I use AT & T as ISP and received a 2WIRE router/gateway to AT & T (Uverse).

    I access Internet through a wired connection from my desktop to the router/gateway and I have access to the Internet via a wireless connection from my laptop to the router/gateway.

    I have the driver for my printer on both computers.

    I created a homegroup on my desktop computer. I have received and printed the password of the residential group created on the desktop.

    When I on my laptop, I don't get the screen asking to join the home group. The screen I received looks like the screen that allows me to create a home on my lap top group.

    I want the House Group to set up on my office and share with my laptop.

    I spent reviewing the documents on the Internet to diagnose the problem without success.

    I don't think that my lap top using the correct network to find the homegroup (just a guess). I need to be able to connect but computers to the Internet without degradation of the service.

    Any help would be appreciated.
