  • Can't join a homegroup error "Windows can't detect a homegroup on this network."

    Original title: Cannot join a homegroup

    I have 4 PCs in my Home Network, called "IqbalHome". Two of them are desktop computers (both are a Dell Optiplex 760 with Windows 8 Enterprise) and two of them are laptops (Dell N4050 with Windows 8 Enterprise and HP Pavilion with Windows 8 Enterprise g4). All windows are updated and activated.
    Now, my Homegoup is running on Dell N4050 with Windows 8 enterprise and other computers have joined it with success, but when I try to join my new G4 HP Pavilion, it takes 4-5 minutes in the treatment and then says that "Windows can't detect a homegroup on this network. To create a new Homegroup click OK and open homegroup in Control Panel. ', and I can't even open its resources from the 'network' in my computer.
    I checked the 'advanced settings sharing' of 'Network and sharing Center' in the control panel and both have the same settings and connected to the network as a private network wireless. I tried all solutions here are http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-8/homegroup-problems-in-windows, but could not get this to work.
    These are the network settings for computers:
    (1) connected to the Tenda W150D WiFi and ADSL modem
    (2) HP Pavilion has "192.168.0.4" IP and Dell N4050 "192.168.0.50' with the same mask subnet, gateway and DNS.
    (3) advanced sharing settings are the same.
    (4) network discovery is running and all the services are great too.
    (5) HP with 192.168.0.4 can get ping 192.168.0.50 in 2-3 ms, but when I try to go through the network, it is said, 'Path network not found' and when I diagnose the problem, he said, "the remote device or resource accepts the connection".
    The confusing thing is that I can still access the Dell N4050 on other computers and use its shared resources, but the problem is only with HP Pavilion. I really don't like Windows to do this and I'm planning to switch to Linux as Windows is not a developer friendly environment, there are a lot of annoying things in it.
    Any kind of help will be really appreciated.

    Hello

    Temporarily disable the software antivirus (and any other security software) and the firewall on the computer as a test and check if this solves the problem follow the link below:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/disable-antivirus-software

    If disabling the antivirus software solves the problem, you may need to configure the settings of the antivirus as a result program.

    Note: make sure that you enable the antivirus software, other security and firewall programs.
