My laptop, which runs Windows 7 Premium, has it's own setup procedure and the
documentation says that a Home group is automatically set up by Windows 7. I was able
to change the name of the Home group to match the home group on my Desktop, which
runs Windows XP - but instruction page on my laptop says ONLY computers running
Windows7 can join a Home group. I used the Microsoft Setup Wizard to create the LAN
on my XP desktop, but there is no Wizard on the Windows & laptop. Does this mean I
have to buy an upgrade to Windows7 for my Desktop - or is there a way to downgrade my
laptop to Windows XP?

I followed the instructions to connect 3 PC's A, B and C. I'm now on PC A, when I try to
connect to PC B I get the following network error:
"Windows cannot access \\PC-B"

But when I'm on PC B, trying to connect to PC A, everything seems ok.

How do I solve this?

You pay the ISP and they give you access to the internet. Service availability. Price.
Payment period. Connection speed Deals and 'Bundles 'Reliability, these are the points
that should be keep in mind to decide a good ISP, thanks a lot.

The wire is ok. it works well with my other laptop.

What might be the problem ? My laptop is new .. Hp-2000, windows 7.. using wireless
since last week and it works fine..
is it possible the cable port is not working by any chance ?
Whats the soluiton ???
