Second, while you can access files and resources on other HomeGroup computers, you can't share your own files and resources with the HomeGroup. One more point to take note of before we move on is that in order to create and join a HomeGroup, your network adapter must have IPv6 enabled.
If you have disabled IPv6 because you didn't think it was needed, then you'll have to re-enable it. As you may know, during the Windows 7 installation procedure, you are given the option to create a HomeGroup.
However, if you chose not to create a HomeGroup at that time, you can create one at any time. Keep in mind that in order for the HomeGroup to function, there must be more than one Windows 7 system on the network and your Network Location must be configured as a Home network. If it's currently configured as a Work or Public network, you will not be able to create a HomeGroup.
The first link is to a more detailed explanation of HomeGroups in the Help and Support. The second is to Advanced sharing settings page where you can adjust network-sharing features and even disable the HomeGroup-sharing feature and enable the type of sharing permissions used in Windows XP and Vista, based on user accounts and passwords.
You can also start the HomeGroup Troubleshooter, a part of Windows 7's new Troubleshooting Platform, which is powered by a special type of PowerShell 2. For example, you can limit or expand the shared libraries as well as enable and customize the media streaming feature of Windows Media Player. You must have an external router or switch. Each computer must have a network cable running from the NIC to a port in the router or switch.
If you have a high-speed modem, you must run a network cable from the Internet or WAN port in the router to the network port in the modem. This ensures that every computer on the network can share the Internet connection. Each computer must have a unique name. Each computer must use the same workgroup name.
Here are the differences for a wireless network: NOTE Networks don't have to be exclusively wired or wireless. Sounds great, but when I tried it with a Linksys And, yes, both of them were on Microsoft's Windows 7 compatible network hardware list.
Maybe next year. To sum up, there are some really great Windows 7 and Server R2 networking features. In particular, Windows 7 Enterprise and Server R2 have a lot to offer to businesses. On the other hand, to get the most from Windows, you have to buy these high-end clients and servers. This is one of the reasons why I prefer Linux for desktops and servers. For one price, or even free, I get all their features and, if it one version doesn't work out for me, it's easy to switch to another. With Windows, I end up paying a lot more, and it's far harder, or even impossible, to mix and match.
