Windows 7 Homegroups

[SueH]

Hi

 

We have just bought ourselves a new desktop after the old one died.  I have tried to create a homegroup to share files between the laptop and the desktop as both machines are now on Windows7.

 

The laptop can see the desktop files, but the desktop keeps telling me that there is no other 'person' connected.

 

Have been through everything I can think of, and have browsed the internet to no avail (at least for a numpty like me!)

 

Has anyone else had this problem and come up with a solution?

 

Thanks.

Hi have you told it to share your folders, next to the start button is there a white arrow in a blue folder to start win media. in the menu you will find stream and tell it what to share. See if that helps.
