When I enter the Homegroup command on the start menu I get a message that says there is no homegroup on this network.
...

--- End quote ---


Win7 => Start menu => click on computer => highlight Homegroup => right mouse / change homegroup settings / leave homegroup

How are you entering a command ? Ok, no homegroup

 DID you CHANGE:

    Use user accounts and passwords to connect to other computers

    and rebooted since Microsoft's crap requires a reboot for that.

Focus on XP first, should work ?

Did you go through every step here first ?

Hi Mike,

Since everything works between your eCS box and XP box it appears that it the win 7 box that has the problem.

You do need to check that the workgroup/domain setting in win 7 is set to IBMPEERS because if it is anything else win 7 will treat it as a different workgroup on the network and will not let that workgroup connect to its homegroup - hence the need to remove homegroup from win 7.

Since Greggory is going to set up a win 7 box I will leave it to him to give the specific requirements for the lan settings (saves me from trying to borrow a win 7 box to check - we are all WSeB here).

Mike La Martina:
Thanks for all the input.  I will try everything suggested and report back.
