I don't know if this belongs in the Win 7 forum or here. I am having issues connecting to my homegroup. I have just set up 2 computers, running Windows 7 ultimate. The parent computer (with the hardwire to the router) is running RC 7100. The PC trying to "join" the homegroup is running the retail version. I have the homegroup set up on the parent. I can connect to the internet on the second PC, and can see the homegroup. But, when I attempt to join, I just get the error: "HomeGroup encountered an error." I have been through the troubleshooting completely on both PC's to no avail. I have a D-Link DIR-628 router and a Belkin N-Wireless USB adapter. Any suggestions on what to do next?

In Windows 7 setting up a homegroup is normally fairly easy between Windows 7 computers. Unfortunately, the error message you're getting is not particularly descriptive, so my assumption is there's something you might have overlooked when setting up the homegroup ... you might want to look at the links below.... http://windows7forums.com/windows-7... http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/... http://pcremedies.blogspot.com/2009...

As usual, Thanks for the reply. I have tried most of what was listed there. But just for kicks, I tried changing the password on the primary PC and then I tried to connect with the secondary PC again with the new password, and it connected fine. I am 100% sure that the previous one was correct, so I have no idea what the issue was, but when it works properly, Win7 homegroups work almost effortlessly. Thanks again for the help!
