I've been trying for a while now to get this fixed and am still having no luck. My laptop is very inconsistent about whether or not it appears on the network. It's a Toshiba Satellite and it runs Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit.
My brother has an identical laptop and it has worked fine every time I tried to do any network stuff on there, however my laptop doesn't show up on the homegroup I have created, nor does it always appear to my Xbox 360. I recently connected both laptops to my router by ethernet cable and set up the homegroup, but my brother's laptop doesn't show any other computers in the homegroup. My laptop shows his just fine. I've run several troubleshoots, under Admin settings to ensure it does everything it can, but Windows still cannot fix the problem. Can someone help me out on this?
Just to clarify:
-I have turned on Network Discovery and all other appropriate settings for the home network, and both PCs show that they are on their home network.
-After disconnecting them from the ethernet cables, neither computer could detect the other in the Homegroup.
-Both PCs are still able to detect one another under Network.
Thanks in advance.
