Hey borq Queen,.

Welcome back you hear. If, after completing all the steps below, you are still unable to create or join a homegroup, I think that the issue is to do with IP/V6.

Check your setting of the adapter for IP/V6. Your network connection must have IPv6 enabled to create or join a homegroup. If it is disabled, follow the steps below to activate it.

(1) right click on the network icon and select open network and sharing Center.

(2) in the window that appears, select change the parameters of the map.

(3) in the network connections window, select the connection to the Local network for the Integrated NIC, and then change the settings for this connection or the file > properties.

(4) in the connection properties page, check the box for Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6).

Close all windows and restart your system.

Try to create a homegroup.

You should be able to create or join one after the activation of the IP/V6.

Kind regards

  • After format and install Win XP Home and SP3 why can't open the Microsoft web sites?

    Need help, guys

    I had to replace my HARD drive in my computer. I installed my Windows XP Home SP2 disc. After installation, I used my SP3 upgrade drive and my drive to upgrade to IE8. After you install all my drivers, I tried to get Windows dates and discovered that I could not access the Microsoft web sites. I get Internet Explorer cannot display this page. I tried to find out why this is happening and how to correct the situation, but have not found an answer that works yet. Can someone give me an answer to this question.

    I have another (used) computer that I formatted the HDD installed and on Windows 7 and have had no problems to access the Microsoft web sites on. It uses the same modem cable like the other computer so I guess that everything is ok with my Internet connection. This problem seems to be only with Windows XP Home SP 3.

    Think in advance for any help

    Btk (billy the kid)

    Please do not share in the whole "BOLD". Which makes it hard to read!

    Please check that SP3 is installed:
    Start | Run
    Type:
    winver
    Press OK.
    Also, tell us what you mean by "trying to get Windows dates" since there are two ways to do this!

    You can consult the Web sites during this period to check if it is available during this period.

    In addition, you could check Microsoft Store in Australia:

  • Cannot access the microsoft Web site using any browser

    Access Web sites

    Try all 3 browsers... Chrome IE7 and Mozilla. I can't to any microsoft Web site. No problem to do anything else.

    With Chrome... I get OOPS! and an error message. IE7 displays a page similar to AI "browser down" page and just microsoft

    sites.

    Thanks for any info

    I can't to any microsoft Web site.

    Sounds like a DNS issue.   Use nslookup to check.   Use ping n 1 w 1 to attempt to cache a browser search.  Use ipconfig/displaydns to check if the search is cached.   A problem with many Microsoft research is that they have several alias and have very short life values.   It is very difficult to take any advantage of cached searches.  An alternative is to substitute the search using your HOSTS file, but then the IP addresses of host Microsoft tend to be transitory.  In fact, this point suggests something to check first: make sure that there are no replacement of microsoft in your HOSTS file.   Remove them and do an ipconfig/flushdns, if there is.   ; )

    Or you can also borrow the same exact retail edition DVD of Windows 7 and use your product key to reinstall.

    The COA sticker with the product key is either or in the battery compartment on the underside of the laptop.

    With a desktop computer, it's on the side, the back or the top of the computer case.
