    Unable to join homegroup, but from my computer


    Hi,

    When I go to homegroup it says "my@emailaddress.com on MyComputer created a domain on the network."

    There are no other computers on the network and I do not have a password to join

    I have tried to delete:
    C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\LocalService\AppData\Roaming\PeerNetworking\*.*
    Disabled Homegroup in services and reenable it
    Physically disconnect the computer from the network by unplugging the cable and rebooting
    Running the homegroup trouble shooter

    Does anyone have any advice?

    Thanks you,

    :)

    Homegroup unable to join

    My computer has auto created a homegroup and I am unable to join it because I do not know the password it has created. I can not find the show password in the homegroup because I am unable to join the homegroup.

  3. homegroup creation and unable to access

    With my wife's computer off this morning I can create a homegroup on my computer. I have done that before but it disappears when my wife's computer is started. On my wife's computer, with my computer running, when I go to homegroup in the control panel it
    advises me that a homegroup exists on my computer, Thurston, and that I can join it. If I try to join it I get the same "Windows no longer detects a homegroup..." message. There is no option to leave a homegroup. When I run the troubleshooter on either computer
    no errors are found. The network troubleshooter never completes on either computer. Thanks

    I did some more testing with the two computers I want in the homegroup. Let's call them A and B. If computer B is off I can create a homegroup on computer A. When I start Computer B the homegroup on computer A disappears but on computer B I can join a
    homegroup. When I try and join computer A from computer B it tells me there is no homegroup. When I look at computer A the homegroup I created is gone but I can join a homegroup. When I try and join it says there is no homegroup. So each of the two computers
    can create a homegroup as long as the other computer is off. Once a homegroup is created and both computers are on neither computer belongs it or can join it.

    One more thing. When I am offered to join the homegroup from either computer it states the homegroup was created on computer A and the password can be found there. Of course there is no homegroup on computer A.

    I maybe misunderstanding, sorry.

    So you are on a computer network, with other computers, and you cannot see any of them within File Explorer under the headings Network or Homegroup, correct?

    The other computers can see one another and can share files, correct?

    One member last week cleared this kind of a problem by powering down router, count to 15 and power up. Worth a shot.

    If you right click on Network icon in systray, click on Open Network and Sharing center, the Network you are connecting to says Private, correct?

    When you click on Advance Sharing, left side, Network Discovery, file and print sharing and Homegroup settings are set to Discover, Share, Homegroup.

    Have you tried with computer firewall disabled?

    One last item may be a Network reset. Under settings, Network and Internet, scroll to bottom, Reset Network.

    Please post back.

    Thanks for your advice.

    I disconnected all network cables from my router and switched off the router's wifi. I think disabled the home group service, deleted the Peernetorking folder and restarted the computer.

    I opened home group and slowly switched the service back on. I was then able to create a new group with my computer being the only one on the network.

    Thanks,
