Windows 8 homegroup via wireless with Security Windows 7 computer password warning

At first I apologize for being so inept, but I do not understand how computers communicate with each other.
Never have and it frustrates me no end. I don't know that I do what infinitely more complicated than it really is.

I have two computers, Windows 8, Windows 7, and I want to share/move files between them.
As I understand it, this means that none of the standard XP compatibility problems are involved.
I got the different residential group folders and pages so I don't know where they are and what they are asking.
Both computers come with their name on each of the other networks on libraries, etc., framed in folders.
Windows 8 has a homegroup computer put in place with its files to share.
Windows 7 sees this homegroup, so I'm sure I'm OK with the basic plan.

If I click on the symbol of the other computer under the sign of the network on one or the other, I get ask username and password of Windows security.
What user name and password, they are referring to?
The password created for me in the homegroup section?
Is the user name that I just create or should it be the name of the computer?
Is the name and the password for my router wireless never involved?
I would like to be the main computer of Windows 8, but I must have each computer to join the other homegroup

I also have a group of work involved on the Windows 8, generically named Workgroup.
When I go to the systems to confirm or change the name of the computer, if I select the Working Group, I get the following:
You cannot join a computer to a domain running from this edition of Windows 8.
Two computers, when I get quick security, yet have a domain name.
Should I worry about this?
The Working Group will be distinct from the Homegroup if I set up one for work?

Again, I apologize for my inability to grasp some of these things.
Believe me, nobody likes less than me.

Hello

I want to tell you that you can try to enter the username and password created in the homegroup and the audit section.

You can create a homegroup on one computer and what to do as the master computer and make other computers to join the homegroup.

I suggest you check out these links for more information about homegroup.

 
Why can't I connect to other computers?
 
Where can I find my homegroup password?
 
Homegroup from start to finish
 
Hope that answers your query.

  • Unable to connect via wireless with SSID broadcast disabled

    I want to configure my router for my SSID is not broadcast, because I think it's a logical step to take for increased security. I have not been able to do since I started using my new laptop Inspiron 5558. I tried this several times and every time I turn off the SSID broadcast, I am not able to connect to the Wi - Fi on this laptop. Other remote computers in my house and my smartphone connect without problem, but nothing I've tried helps my new computer Dell laptop to connect via Wi - Fi, except for allowing the SSID broadcast.

    I have a router Actiontec MI424WR reverend E. I have installed the new driver and the Intel PROset utility and unfortunately nothing has changed. I went to the settings to investigate some of the other solutions offers, and I came across something that seems to have solved my problem. What I found in SETTINGS/network & Internet/change adapter options/Wi-Fi/see the status of my properties of connection/Wireless / on the connection tab, it was an uncontrolled area with the words "connect even if the network is not broadcasting its name (SSID). I checked this box, and since then, I was able to connect to my network wireless with SSID broadcast disabled. I will now call this resolved and if no new problems arise. start a new post. Thanks for sticking with me on this.

    Well, first thing to do is to disable wireless live, because you don't need and it's confusing questions. To disable this feature:

    1. On the printer, click on the wireless icon that looks like a radio tower.
    2. Click settings.
    3. Click on wireless Direct.
    4. Click turn OFF.

    Now, to connect the printer to your wireless network:

    1. From the main screen, click on the wireless icon.
    2. Click settings.
    3. Click Wireless Setup Wizard.

    Please let me know the results after following the above. If you are able to connect to the wireless printer, click on accept solution. If you appreciate my help, please click on the thumbs up icon. The two icons are below this post.

  • New Windows 8 connect to a homegroup based on a Windows 7 computer.

    I have a new computer running Windows 8 and a residential group based on a Windows 7 computer, two flags of HP 64-bit.  My problem is that, after not having not used for several hours, the machine of Windows 8 does not connect to the homegroup.  The message itself, is that the network address is not recognized.  When I click on the button "Diagnose" the message comes back saying my connection has been refused by the host, I guess this means that the Windows 7 machine where rests the homegroup.

    Should the residential group rely on the machine Windows 8?  The connection is wireless and I made sure none of the adapters are disabled in the settings of power on both machines.  The new machine has replaced a Windows 7 laptop which had been in place for 18 months and works fine but on cultivated.

    The problem has proved to be a parameter in Windows 8, which enabled him to turn off the different hardware components to save energy.  One of these components has been the network adapter AND the wireless adapter.  Souinds as two different things for me, but they are actually the same thing, so only change the network card like HP told me does not resolve the issue.

    My son-in-law has suggested that since the machine is a desktop computer, and I never turn off any way, just deselect all options of conservation of power on the components.  As soon as I put the wireless adapter, everything was fine.

    Windows 8 or the way the machine is design for energy saving, all went a little over Board.
