Cannot join HomeGroup
I have two computers, my desktop and my laptop which is a Lenovo T520 Thinkpad. My laptop is connected to a D-Link Smart switch via Cat 7 which is connected to my router as well as my desktop. I originally created a Home group on my desktop and then went to Home group on my laptop, it sates that my desktop has created a homegroup on the network and I click on "Join Now". I type in the password and click next. It the tells me I have joined the homegroup. If I go to file explorer and click on Homegroup on my laptop, It tells me that "No other homegroup PC's are available right now". If I Check my desktop, it shows my Homegroup. I've checked my router to insure the mac address and the ip address are the same as identified in "ipconfig /all" for my laptop and it is, the router is seeing my laptop. For some reason my laptop will not configure homegroup with my desktop. I don't know if the version of windows makes a difference, I'm running Win 10 pro on both but the version and build are different. My Desktop is version 1607 (build 14393.51) and my laptop is version 151 (build 10586.545). I'm lost. Can anyone give me some idea what might be going on and how to fix it? Thanks for your help in advance
