Why can't I connect to my homegroup?

I'm on an HP laptop and I am able to connect to the internet through a router... wireless my PC (HP too) is directly connected to the same router.  I've set up homegroup on my PC and when I try to get on my cell phone, that it is said that he cannot do... I made my own password so I know it's true... my laptop can also see the Group residential b/c, it says I can join... so I'm missing something here... I disabled my firewall and tried, but still does not... I am running windows 7 pro (64) on both computers.
Thank you

  • Why can I not connect to the Intranet United when I can do it in Internet explore

    In the past, I have had no problems to connect to the intranet of the secure site. Now, after that I updated Firefox I get a message indicating that a security problem.
    When I go on Internet Explorer, I have no problem connecting to the intranet site for United.

    Does the error 'weak Diffie-Hellman ephemeral key? Someone else mentioned get a few weeks on an employee United Web site.

    If this is the error you get, the server attempts to use an obsolete encryption encryption algorithm that is vulnerable to the attack of the impasse that was in the news earlier this year.

    What does that mean?

    Even if you trust the server, a "dead end" attack compromised the security of your individual connection on the server, a lowering of the protection normally provided by SSL to a level that is easily cracked and read by others on the network. This is why Firefox protects you to establish this connection.

    What can you do now?

    The best solution is to update the server. Please ask for the protection of everyone! However, I suspect this is out of your control and could not happen soon. To work around the problem, you can try to disable these old ciphers in your Firefox, which I hope it will force the server to try some more secure encryption algorithms when connecting with you. Here's how:

    (1) in a new tab, type or paste Subject: config in the address bar and press ENTER. Click on the button promising to be careful.

    (2) in the search above the list box, type or paste dhe and make a pause so that the list is filtered

    (3) double-click the preference security.ssl3.dhe_rsa_aes_128_sha to true to false (disable Firefox to use this encryption)

    (4) double click on the security.ssl3.dhe_rsa_aes_256_sha preference from true to false (disable Firefox to use this encryption)

    Try again the server; You may need to reload the page using Ctrl + Shift + r to ignore information in cache.

  • Why can I only connect to App Store in guest mode?

    Please read this message before doing anything.

    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It is unlikely to solve your problem. Don't be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.

    The test is intended to determine if the problem is caused by a third-party software that loads automatically at startup or logon, by a device, by a police conflict or corruption of system files or some system caches.

    Disconnect all devices wired except those required to test and remove all the expansion cards from secondary market, as appropriate. Start in safe mode and log on to the account of the problem.

    Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or an earlier version, or if a firmware password is defined, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can not do this. Ask for additional instructions.

    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run as normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things work at all, including an audio output and a Wi - Fi connection on some models. The next normal boot can also be a bit slow.

    The login screen is displayed even if you usually connect automatically. You need your password to log on. If you have forgotten the password, you will have to reset it before you begin.

    Test in safe mode. Same problem?

    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and make sure you always have the problem. View the results of the test.

  • Why can't I connect to YouTube if you use Firefox?

    The information is stored on other websites very well, and I was able to connect to my account through Internet Explorer 8 YouTube. However, when I click on the button "Sign In" on YouTube, I get an error message that reads,

    "The page isn't redirecting properly." Firefox has detected that the server redirects the request for this address in a way that will never end. "

    I tried to change the security settings, and I made sure cookies are allowed. I tried to empty the cache and even reset Firefox completely. None of this has worked.

    If someone could help me with this, I would be very grateful. Firefox runs much faster on this laptop to Internet Explorer, for some reason, and I hate having to open a separate window with it to watch YouTube videos.

    try in firefox safe mode and give a try

    Try the Firefox Safe Mode to see how it works there. Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most of the modules.

    (If you use it, switch to the default theme).

    • You can open the Mode without failure of Firefox 4.0 + holding the key SHIFT key when you use the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
    • Or use the menu option help and click on the restart with the disabled... modules menu item while Firefox is running.

    Do not choose anything at the moment, just use "" boot mode safe. "
    To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the shortcut of Firefox (without the Shift key) to open it again.
    If it's good in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one.

    To do this, please follow article Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems .

    When find you what is causing your problems, please let us know. It might help others who have the same problem.
