Not able to join HOMEGROUP on Windows10 Pro
Hi All,
I have 2 Dell Alienware PC's. Both are running on Windows10Pro 64 BIT. One is a laptop and the other one is a Desktop. Both systems areconnected to the same and only network and not any domain whatsoever.
The problem is, when I try to create a Homegroup on machine#1 (Laptop), it won't be recognized on the machine#2 (Desktop) and vice versa.I have an Linksys WiFi extender so, I have disabled the WiFi relay of the actual router itself just to avoid the confusion.
Troubleshooting steps as taken are:-
1) Double checked the machines are on the same network.
2) Disabled and detached the Wifi extender and connected both the machines to the routers Wifi directly.
3) Have checked the network sharing is on both the machines in turned on.
4) Services for the "Home group listener", "Home group provider", "Peer network grouping" & "Peer name resolution protocol" is turned on and set to automatic on
both the machines.
5) IPv6 is checked on the network properties on both the machines (not sure if that helps or not).
6) Did a network reset on both the machines.
7) Double checked the BIOS version up to date.
8) Double checked the network latest drivers on both the machines both are up to date.
9) Have disabled the McAfee antivirus firewalls on both the computers.
I have tried every possiblething I was aware off. Would appreciate a help on this matter.
Thanks,
Aman Gill.
