2 x Windows 7 will not join with homegroup

[scottvsaunders]

Hi,

we have a few machines here running windows 7, we are trying to network them via the wlan so that we can file share etc.

The problem we have is that the windows 7 homegroup does not work, apparently we are meant to create a group with the first machine and then on the second machine we would select homegroup and then click on "join"

there is no join option anywhere.

I have turned both firewalls off, antivirus off etc and still nothing.

anyone suggest a solutions?

Thanks

How many machines exactly?

How many of those machines are on a wireless connection?

We have 4 machines in total, the main desktop unit running Windows 7 x32, two laptops running the same OS and I other running Windows XP Home.

all of them are connecting wirelessly via the O2 Wireless Box II.
