home group

[jamesvaughn14]

I have a desktop and laptop both running Windows 7 home premium and I follow the directions to the T for setting up a homegroup but it finishes by saying it cannot create a homegroup on this computer. What am I doing wrong?

Thank you for your response. Those are the steps I was following. My problem turned out to be that the laptop I was trying to connect was not recognizing my network. Instead it was picking up on an unidentified wireless network to connect to the internet.with. When it connected with my signal it worked fine. Thanks again.
