• Unable to join the homegroup on new Inspiron 15 5559

  I had a residential group put in place for a good while on 3 computers desktop and an old Tower, but my new laptop Dell Inspiron 15 5559 with 10 Windows fails to reach.  I get to the point of putting in the right password and clicking NEXT, then the bar keeps of moving from left to right for several minutes, then stops without any messages and not to join.

  Here are the details.  Computer of One Office (a Dell Inspiron 630 with Windows 7 Pro), a former HP with Windows Pro 10 office, an old house built office with Windows 10 Pro (64-bit), and an old Toshiba laptop with 64 bit Windows 7 Home.  All these joined the homegroup very well.  In addition to the homegroup, I have the file & printer sharing power with 4 of them.  On the Dell desktop computer, I have 9 folders and two shared printers.  The new laptop Dell can access shared folders, it is just unable to join the homegroup.  I created the homegroup because I had problems to access 2 shared printers (a Canon IP1600 inkjet and laser Samsung ML-2525) with 10 windows, in case you're wondering why I'm not just with the file & printer sharing instead of homegroup.

  In any case the key is that everything on this new Dell laptop works fine except that I can not join the homegroup, and I'm very curious as to why not.  I did full virus scans with Defender and Norton 360 and have done two scans with MalwareBytes, but no malware has been found.  I also ran "SFC/scannow" and it found no problem either.  I checked to make sure that I put in the security key for the homegroup, and at this point, I am triple ideas.  It please does not restore to the factory settings, because I had this problem since the first day that I got this laptop out of the box before I did any customization. FWIW, I'm no novice in computer science.

  What suggest you?  TIA

  Yesterday I posted a note that I would have found and solved the problem.  I don't know what happened to this post.  The problem was that there was a popup that was actually a pop-under hidden behind a number of open windows.  He said that there was an invalid password.  Of course the note that I had used to set up 4 PCs had a "n" where there is now a "m".  I would like to say that this has changed from n to m somehow otherwise I don't know how I was able to put in place the other 4 PCs.  Anyhoo, the problem is now resolved.

• 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.

• 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.

• I have problems to access the homegroup on one of my computers networked

  I can't access the homegroup on one of my computers networked: I can't view/print the password or leave the homegroup.

  The homegroup listener service is not running and does not start; It depends on the Server service which does not also.

  All the services depends on "Server" are running, while I find not all controls bound to the drivers SMB or srvnet.

  The error message when the Server service or the HomeGroup listener is tempted to start is:
  Error 1068: The dependency service or group could start.

  Thank you very much, Jack MVP.  I downloaded and installed ServiWin as directed by your recommendation.

  It showed me that the server SMB 1. XXX driver (srv.sys) was not working.  I then used the 'Google - executable name' search option from right-click menu.

  This showed me in turn to the web page of "http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2473205" entitled: "list of currently available patches for technologies in Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2 file Services.

  In this page, I found a section entitled SRV component with a link to the article 2625434 knowledge base: "http://support.microsoft.com/hotfix/KBHotfix.aspx?kbnum=2625434&kbln=en-us."

  This allowed me to download an a security update that contains the latest version of the srv.sys.  Installation of this repaired my faulty installation of the SMB 1. XXX driver.

  This then allowed me to do things like "View the HomeGroup Password" and "Leave the HomeGroup" that I couldn't do before.

  I was then able to join the homegroup, and after restarting, become visible to my laptop.

  I then told the phone leaving the homegroup and then join and now computers are visible to each other.

  All Windows 7 computers on my home network are now visible to the other in the homegroup.

• 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!

• Unable to join the homegroup - when you attempt to join I get this message: cannot create a homegroup on this computer

  I tried all the suggested 'fixes' and am still unable to join. My network has worked well until I installed W7. I can create a homegroup on any computer (I have 4 on the network), but no other computers can join. All I get when you are trying to reach is "impossible to create a homegroup on this computer". It is a problen very common, judging from all the complaints I've seen on the forums. With no exaggeration, there are thousands of people are unable to use this 'easy '... home network Please don't tell me to disable my firewall or computer time sync or one of the other "fixes" that do not help.

  Hello

  Since you're so desperate, you can configure the network to the office network.

  It's a little more work than the collective dwelling, but the results are more flexible.

  -----------------------------------------

  Here you have the whole story because what Win 7 can make wise network.

  Win7 when configured on the peer-to-peer network has three types of configurations of sharing.

  Homegroup = only works between Win 7 computers. This type of configuration, it is very easy to entry level users to start sharing network.

  Network of home or work = fundamentally similar (and better) to the previous methods of theWorking Group sharing which allow you to control what, how and to whom the records would be shared with.
  
  Public share = network Public (as Internet Café) in order to reduce security risks.

  For the best newspaper of the results of each computer screen system and together all computers on a network of the same name, while each computer has its own unique name.

  http://www.ezlan.NET/Win7/net_name.jpg

  Make sure that the software firewall on each computer allows free local traffic. If you use 3rd party Firewall on, Vista/XP Firewall Native should be disabled, and the active firewall has adjusted to your network numbers IP on what is sometimes called the Zone of confidence (see part 3 firewall instructions

  General example, http://www.ezlan.net/faq.html#trusted
  Please Note that some 3rd party software firewall continue to block the same aspects it traffic Local, they are turned Off (disabled). If possible, configure the firewall correctly or completely uninstall to allow a clean flow of local network traffic.

  If you end up with the 3rd party software uninstalled or disabled, make sure that Windows native firewall is active .

  ------------------------------

  If your network consists only of Win 7 and you want a simple network, use it.

  If you have permission and security issues with Vista/Win7, check the following settings.

  Point to a folder that wants to share do right click and choose Properties.

  In the properties

  Click on the Security tab shown in the bellows of the photo on the right) and verify that users and their permissions (see photo below Centre and left) are configured correctly. Then do the same for the authorization tab.

  The Security Panel and the authorization Panel, you need to highlight each user/group and consider that the authorization controls are verified correctly.

  When everything is OK, restart the network (router and computer).

  * Note . The groups and users listed in the screen-shoot are just an example. Your list will focus on how your system is configured.

  ** Note . All the users who are allowed to share need to have an account onall computers that they are allowed to connect to.

  Everyone is an account, that means a group of all users who already have an account now as users. It is available to avoid the need to configure permission for each on its own, it does not mean all those who feel that they would like to connect.

• RESOLVED - unable to enable IPv6 in Windows 7, so unable to connect to the homegroup - ZoneAlarm was the problem

  My problem is that I can't turn on IPv6 in Windows 7.

  My goal was to set up a homegroup three computers so that I can share a printer that is connected to one of them. They are all running different versions of Windows 7.  A desktop computer has created a homegroup, and a second desktop computer connected successfully to the homegroup and can print using the first computer printer.

  The third computer is a portable computer. When you go to the homegroup settings page, it says that the homegroup is available. But this computer is unable to join when you click on the "join" button. The convenience store said IPv6 must be enabled.

  Option is checked in the IPv6 network card settings. (The install button is also active and uninstall is dimmed. I don't understand why this should be as I have read that you cannot uninstall IPv6, if it makes sense for the uninstallation to be grey, why install would be an option? Confusion between.)

  Here is what seems to be the root of the problem. In the registry settings, in the section IPv6 DisabledComponents is set to 255 (disabled). I change it to 0 (all features enabled), but I can't always connect to the homegroup. I restart the computer and the value 0 is changed back to 255.

  I can't activate IPv6, it isn't surprising that the computer cannot join the homegroup as I read that this function requires IPv6.

  Can any expert from Microsoft give me some advice on how to operate the homegroup?

  Thank you very much.

  I have now found the answer to my problem. This is a setting in the free ZoneAlarm firewall. I will describe the solution in the case of meeting other people that.

  I have the default setting of the version of ZoneAlarm is that it disables IPv6 when it starts. (I don't know if it's the same for all versions).

  Although I tried disabling ZoneAlarm (and my separate anti-virus) so he was trying to set up group residential, just turn it off has no impact on registry settings - DisabledComponents is always set at 255 until you change to 0 and, critically, restart the machine. Then, the parameter 0 (enabled) will come into force. Or so it seems to me as a layman.

  But if you did not disable the automatic startup of ZoneAlarm (like me) then as soon as you restart the computer, ZoneAlarm starts too and resets the 255, new registry entry to disable IPv6. If you can't join a homegroup.

  The solution is to open ZoneAlarm and choose firewall, hand and advanced. Then you will see the option to activate IPv6 networks. When I didn't do the notebook had no problem joined the homegroup.

  I don't know why I have the same problem on the second desktop computer. Maybe it's runnning a later version of ZoneAlarm to allow IPv6 - I haven't checked.

  In any case, I spent hours looking for this solution, so I hope that the description above helps someone else that has a parameter of the problem until a homegroup because of what seems ZoneAlarm made IPv6 settings in the registry.

• Unable to connect to the homegroup

  I created a group residential today first time on pc Windows 8.

  But when I am trying to reach other PCs, the residential band just does not appear.

  The pc, I train to connect from is Windows 10 and 8. So please tell me what error.

  I made sure they are on the same network and have the same date and time (default option is selected), troubleshooting cannot identify the problem and asks him to run the troubleshooter on the pc where it is created, and this store too cannot identify the problem.

  Also, I have made various services like residential groups, peertopeer named start etc, which does not help too.

  The error is simply that there's no homegroup on my network.

  Please help a soon, thank you!

Even if I leave the network on the laptop, I again that the option create a new network.

  In your graphical interface of the router make sure NAT is turned on.

• My Documents appears twice in the homegroup to a networked computer.

  The homegroup was created on my computer (MARCO-HP). A second identical computer joined the homegroup and everything works fine. However, on the second computer, the homegroup folder looks exactly as follows:

  Homegroup
  Marco (MARCO-HP)
  Documents
  My Documents (\\MARCO-HP)
  Music
  My music (\\MARCO-HP)
  Photos
  My pictures (\\MARCO-HP)
  Videos
  My videos (\\MARCO-HP)
  My Documents

  Why the "My Documents" folder appears in the 'Documents' folder and again outside it in the folder 'Marco (MARCO-HP)' on this second computer? The content is identical in both files, so I presume that they are pointing to the same location on my computer. How can I remove it?

  Hello

  The first are the libraries, the second is the actual file. If you have the specific folder in addition to the libraries, then this is the cause why you see two folders my documents. You can check if this folder is shared.

  Do not delete the folder, instead of remove the share on this particular file folder.
