I'd suggest that because it's likely a recent install that you just scrap it and format the whole system again. Here's something else you can try: Make a user on both machines and call it "Master" for example. It must be the same on both. Give Master the exact same passwords on both machines. Setup a read/write share and give the user "Master" full un-restricted access to it. See if you can now share files. If you can, you can confidently write it down to Homegroup being a nice idea, but still highly flawed ;) |

I was wondering is there a service that the HG service requires to run or uses? I might have disabled it and forgotten about it on the laptop. if all else fails ill revert to the good ole networking standards of mapping network drives and wait for windows 8 to do the HG | The Error Guy (14052) | ||
