First try was to modify the registry using a suggestion from:Ī. The following are the procedures that seemed the most likely to have success. I decided to begin searching web forums for a solution to getting the service “Peer Networking Grouping” running, something I had not been able to do (Strangly enough clicking on the “Start” button a billion times did absolutely nothing) since this whole mess started. As I said in my last post, I was having no luck getting my network set up, but after going through the fixes suggested by WAWood I realized that fixating on setting up a Homegroup was not getting me anywhere.
