Homegroups

[Sparky]

I have Win 7 / 64 on my Desktop , and Starter on my netbook. When I set up

Homegroups, everything worked correctly. ( I also use ZoneAlarm Extreme

Security and have enabled IPv6 ).



Currently the Desktop shows " No Other Homegroup computers are currently

available " but I can access the Homegroup ( on the Desktop computer ) from

the Netbook. I'm not sure where to start trying to sort it out ? If I

disable the Firewall in ZA , it makes no difference.



TIA

What will make the difference that you are looking for is to remove and uninstall

ZA. That will solve your issue

Thanks Peter..



As I said , originally it DID work. After I posted the message , I went back

and took another look. I selected DOCUMENTS and SHARE WITH HOMEGROUP (

read/write ) and everything popped up again. ZA has a lot to answer for (

along with all the rest of them ) but it looks like it's off the hook this

time.
