Hi all,
trying to get a home workgroup to function.
W8 machine is the 'main' machine.
both pc have been joined to the same named workgroup
both PCs now use the same user name and same password for the active account
the XP machine can see the shared files/folders on the W8 machine
W8 machine gives me the 'no other homegroup pcs are available message'.
Any tips?
edit: i have also performed the steps outlined here

(added windows credentials)
olved, required tunring off a both firewalls as well
thanks in advance
