Windows 7 Homegroup – Blocked by McAffee – Also how to set-up

16-Nov-1111 Leave a comment

I set up Windows 7 Homegroup on my PC and was able to see this from my laptop.
However I was unable to see my PC from my laptop.
SOLVED
After some reading decided to remove my almost redundant McAffee from my laptop. As soon as I did this Homegroup started working. As did remote connections to SQL Server.

New Problem 12th July 2012

Not able to see PC HomeGroup folders on laptop. Solution was to set up a Library on PC and then Share with for this library – rather than direct on folder
