Residential Group / Network ID Issuee as I can't get the homegroup to connect to my home network

I am running Win 7 Pro on my laptop and can't get the homegroup to connect to my home network. I have two other computers (wired, one wireless) which are connected and share without problem and can even see (that) the name of my laptop on the network home.

When I run the troubleshooter to homegroup, it is to identify a network problem, but the next step cannot identify a because my laptop connects wireless both at home and on the road. I think that the problem is in my setting of the network ID and the Discovery Mode as when I try to change the setting for network ID for 'Home' instead of 'Business' it resets right back to business. Same thing happens with trying to turn the discovery mode 'On', it is 'Off '.

I appreciate all the help that I have been fighting this issue for awhile now and just have not had time to fix.

Thank you

Robert

Hello Robert,.

Here are the network discovery. Since they may not appear in the Windows Firewall, the place to download Simple Service Discovery Protocol (SSDP-In) and outside, you try to check these services whether or not they are running.

  • Can't get the Time Capsule network to see Airport Extreme?

    I have a network set up through my Time Capsule and I want to express with my Airport Extreme, the problem is that I can't get the network to see Airport Extreme - or rather, we'll see, but when I try to connect to it, it starts to connect, and then I get an unexpected error. I tried to restore both their factory settings and did a restore forced several times to the Airport Extreme, but nothing helped. I made sure to affect my IPv6 link-local only, I've even re-created my network several times (always with the Capsule of time as the main base station, but nothing seems working.

    Any ideas would be very useful.

    The Airport Extreme and time Capsule have been purchased during the last month, and I'm under OS10.11.1

    First of all, try to update your software El Capitan to the current version of operation... 10.11.4... which was supposed to solve some of the bugs that cause the message "unexpected error".

    If still no help, try using an iPhone or an iPad for the configuration.  After the back if you don't know how to proceed.

  • I can't get the XP computer recognize the Windows 7 network file share more wireless

    Problem file/network sharing wireless with a professional system XP and Windows 7

    I have 2 computers - 1 with XP and Windows 7 pro upgrade and use a secure wireless network...  I have set up my network on the new computer and can see the files on my new XP computer, but I can't get the XP computer to recognize Windows 7 one.  What should I do?

    Hi Captive,


    Method 1:

    I suggest you to check if temporarily uninstall the antivirus software on the computer Windows XP allows you to connect properly.

    But don't forget to install the software after troubleshooting is done such that your computer will be at risk.

    Method 2:
    You can also check the settings of firewall on the windows XP computer. You can check if the ports are opened correctly for the network to connect. See the help link - below
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/283673

    Method 3:
    If the problem persists, you can even perform the clean boot on the Windows XP computer and check if you can identify the application that is causing problems in the clean boot state. To perform the clean boot follow step 1, mentioned in the article, below, and then try again checking in this state of boot -

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310353

    If the issue is resolved check what non-Microsoft service or program is at the origin of the problem. referring to article and following the other steps.
    When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:

    a. Click Start, type msconfig.exe in the start search box and press ENTER.
    If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, or click on continue.

    b. on the general tab, click the Normal startup option and then click OK.

    c. When you are prompted to restart the computer, click on restart.

    I hope this helps.

  • Gmail button (in internet explorer) keeps having moved to the right in my taskbar when I wasn't staying on the left (that's why I first open). How can I get the taskbar buttons to stop randomly to reorganize and stay in order?

    Gmail button (in internet explorer) keeps having moved to the right in my taskbar when I want to keep it on the left (that's why I first open).  How can I get the taskbar buttons to stop randomly to reorganize and stay in order?  I'm talking about the buttons on list of my open applications and documents in Windows Vista.  The bar tasks are "locked", but the button of the window open with gmail in internet explore reappears suddenly in the good moments apparently random.

    It is in the middle part of the taskbar (what I found online so far is on the start menu, the quick launch area or area/system tray of notification, the location of the taskbar in full, either about grouping taskbar - I disabled because I would like to separate).  Can anyone help?  I don't understand why this is happening (or why microsoft would never do).

    Lock the taskbar that it prevents to be moved elsewhere on the office and maintains the different sections where they are - it does not block the tabs showing what is open where they were when they were opened.  There is no control for this function.  Maybe if you uncheck similar taskbar buttons group it will help, but I honestly don't know (and fear he won't make any difference - it may even make things worse).  This also happens to me and I was unable to find an answer.  I think that there are more than just random, but I can't telll you why he moves the legs periodically (sometimes it works fine all day and other days it happens almost immediately).  But still, there is no control for this function, so there is no way to tell him to keep a specific order or to lock an established order, once it has been created.  I suspect that it happens because the notification area icons appear and hide and new programs open and close and which changes the amount of space available and so he rearranges things so that they match and apparently does not always consider the original sequence in which the elements have been added.  Maybe if you remove the Quick Launch toolbar and then add again, the order will reset (but that I know not - probably not in the original sequence, which I doubt is logged nowhere - it did not work when I tried it).

    Unfortunately, I don't have a solution to this problem (and I spend a little time looking for even before myselff posed the question) and do not believe that there is a.  It is also unfortunate that you can't move them so they can be put back in the right order if they change.  I don't think that there is nothing wrong with your system or that it is something that can be repaired or fixed - it's just the way it is and we just have to live with it.  I don't know any 3rd party software that controls the order of tabs open in the taskbar program (but you can check out Bing, Gooogle,www.tucows.comand www.download.com to see if I'm wrong on this - here n "t all when I looked trying to solve this problem for my own system).

    I'm sorry it wasn't what you wanted to hear, but it's like that.  I don't know if it's different in Windows 7.

    Good luck!

  • How can I remove the homegroup to my desktop icon?

    How can I remove the homegroup icon that suddenly appeared on my desktop Windows 8

    I know and respect the fact that Sharief K is a Microsoft Support Engineer. but he doesn't know what he's talking about as a Microsoft Support engineer or he didn't understand the question.

    However, here's how to solve the problem in the right way...

    Question about this community newsletter is:

    (Windows 8) How can I remove the 'host group icon"from the desktop?

    Answer:

    1 right-click somewhere on the desktop that is free of icon/s with the left button of the mouse.
    Select "Customize" in the context menu, which will take you to the selection of window customize.

    2. Select "Change desktop icons" in the area of the hand at the top left of this window.  A "Change desktop icons" dialog (context menu) is displayed.

    3. Note the box on the left of the 'network' is checked.  Uncheck the box and then left click of the mouse will apply.

    4. at this point, the 'host group icon"will be removed from the desktop.  Now again check the box to the left of the 'Network' and then the mouse left click apply.

    And your all set.  That is of course until what you restart your computer, in which case this problem will happen again.  Gives one does not want to restart its system ever if you have Windows 8.

    On a more personal note, I am A +, Network +, MCP and a Bachelor's degree in electronic engineering technology and experienced Microsoft since 1992 when I always still served in the U.S. Army.  Sorry, but I am appalled and disgusted with the OS of Windows 8 not to mention Microsoft Office.

  • How can I get the airplay icon to appear? Changing the settings of firewall does not work

    How can I get the airplay icon to appear? Changing the settings of firewall does not work

    Hello Drjoe378,

    I understand that you do not see the AirPlay icon in iTunes on your Mac. If you have verified that your firewall is disabled or that the problem occurs regardless of the status of your firewall, there is a little more that can help return your ability to connect to AirPlay devices.

    1. Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes and Apple TV software.
    2. Connect your computer and other devices on the same network Wi - Fi. If you are using Ethernet, connect the two devices on the same router or hub. If you use the Wi - Fi and Ethernet, plug your device AirPlay the same router that your computer uses for Wi - Fi.
    3. Restart your computer, device AirPlay and network router.
    4. Because some Airplay devices include a power switch for AirPlay option, look for the option in the settings and make sure that the feature is enabled. Refer to the user guide of the device for more information.

    Use AirPlay to stream content from iTunes on your computer wireless
