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!

Confused Laurie,

  • Can't see 2nd computer cannot join the group home

    I'm putting in place the home between my PC & my laptop group. I do work very well when my laptop is connected to my router, but when I go nothing wireless.

    The OP gave me full access to its machines and I have deleted/recreated homegroup, but neither machine was able to detect, no matter to what end I started. Networking has worked and homegroup troubleshooting went to the test but could not solve the problem. Given that the OP has a good knowledge of creation and access to shares, he now uses this mechanism.

    Hi Rickravel,

    1. what type of account you use?

    2. This only happens when you access Internet?

    3. when the problem started?

    4. you remember to make changes to the computer before this problem?

    Step 1:

    You can start in safe mode with network and see if the problem occurs in the account.

    You can see the following link to start in safe mode with network.

    Start your computer in safe mode

    Note: Restart the computer to boot into normal mode.

    Step 2:

    If you use Internet explorer, then you can try to disable add ons and check if it helps:

    Run Internet explorer with no Add - ons. Steps to open Internet with no mode of modules:

    a. click on start

    (b) in the search box, type in Internet explore

    c. Select Internet (no add-on mode)

    If you were able to access the Web site without any problems, then the module may cause the error.

    You can read the following article and try the steps to activate the modules individually determine which Add - ons may be the cause of the problem.

  • computer cannot detect the scanner or camera

    When I plug in my digital camera Canon for my xp, then turn it on, I hear a small beep, then nothing. When I go into the Panel, printers and other equipment, scanners and cameras, I see 2 points. 1 is, WIA Canon MX310 SER. The 2nd one is Canon PowerShot SD1300IS. I then click on the Canon PowerShot SD1300IS and then get pictures, but nothing happens. The cameras screen display turns off, but that's all. It seems to be connected to the computer, but not to download pictures.

    When I keep trying I sometimes get an error message, the computer cannot detect the scanner or camera.

    How can I solve this problem and download my photos?

    Thank you Tim

    Hey volunteer J;

    Thanks for the help, but it did not help.

    I found the answer on page 2 of microsoft answers, xp, images and videos.

    6 questions down, how to re install microsoft scanner and Camera Wizard.

    It turns out that some tech volunteer known as J (is it you?} came across the solution to my problem on this site:http://www.veiled-chameleon.com/weblog/archives/000231.html )

    I have used PC Cleaner on this xp, and I think he may have disabled some of the registry keys. For me, I had to start my pitcher of DCOM Server, RPC, Remote procedure Call Locator process and put them on automatic. Once I rebooted, everything works great.

    I'm so happy that tech Volunteer J, done everything search last December. I bet it helped a ton out of veterans with our cameras. How did he find veiled Chameleon? Wow he must be smart enough.

    Thank you for volunteering j. (is it you?)

  • 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.

  • Win 7 computer cannot see the computers on the network

    We have 3 computers on our network. A desktop computer running a laptop running Win 7 x 64, an office equipped with Win Vista and Win XP. All 3 are connected to the same workgroup and are properly connected to the internet. The two workstations can see and the laptop on the network and can move the files to the laptop, but the laptop cannot see other computers on the network. Whenever I try to open the network to move files to another computer, the icon just mouse sits and turns and the page remains blank. I thought that maybe he just needs time to see everything, left like that for hours without success. I went through all the troubleshooting steps in the win7 with nothing working Help Center. I don't understand why, if all the computers are on the same network, they can see me, but I don't see them. I am obviously connected properly so they can move the files to my computer. It may be unrelated, but I also can't update windows, keep getting error 80246008 when I try to run the update. Any suggestions on what I can do to fix this?

  • the creative team of cloud will not have second computer to use the software, said "without subscription Found.

    I'm signing until the second computer to the creative team of cloud. Yet, he continues to want 'buy me' software, even if I have the subscription of the team. When I try to access my login information and use the software it says "no subscription found." You are allowed to have 1 person by members of the creative team of cloud? I always thought that 2 computers were allowed by each subscription.

    mono-utilisateurs subscriptions allow unlimited facilities but, at most, two concurrent connections.

  • Homegroup problem: computer cannot see the computer B, but B can see A

    I have two computers.  A race 7-Home Premium 64-bit computer is connected to the network via a wireless-N.  7-Home Premium 32 bit computer B is wired.  Computer has created the homegoup.  Computer B can see computer A and can send files to A computer and retrieve them.  However computer cannot see at all computer B.

    I'm sharing files on both computers.  Not sure what the problem is.

    Hi Hunt72,

    Can you ping the computer from computer B?

    Can you start computer in Mode safe mode with networking and see if she can see computer B? If it still does not work, do the same with computer B.

    Do you know how to use netmon to capture the activities of the network?  If so, download it and run it by trying to send files between computers, take note of all connections rejected or denied.

  • Why my computer cannot download and install the driver for the SM Bus controller? And what is?

    My computer has detected a SM Bus controller and a couple of USB controllers, but they have not installed the drivers. When I try to do, the computer does not find. What should do the SM Bus controller and why now creates so many problems?

    Hello

    What is the brand and model of the computer?

    The "SM Bus controller (System Management)" part of the system chipset. The software for it is very important for the proper functioning of the system. SM Bus is used in personal computers and servers to low speed, system management communications.
