Problem with homegroup configration

Hi everybody.
I have a big problem in homegroup configuration. To Clarify this is my set up:
Router is in the living room.
Computer PC 1 connected via ethernet cable in the living room.
Computer loptop 2 in bed room connected via wireless.
When computer 2 is connected via ethernet cable to router, homegroup is working and every thing is ok. but when use WiFi, I can't access to shared files.
Both PC and loptop have win 8.1 enterprise OS.

I really confused, any suggest?

If this is a single router then the wireless may be using some type of guest account which could isolate it from the normal network.

I may be able to spot problems if I could see the ipconfig/all when connected from both the wireless and wired connection.

Sounds like a Firewall issue. Which firewall are you using? Are you using the built in one on Windows, or one that was loaded (ie Norton Internet Security, McAfee, or another). Is this machine your personally owned, or from work?

Dear chev65 thanks for your replay. here the ipconfig for pc and lop top.

pc: (wired)


loptop: (wireless)


Dear broe23 thanks for your attention. I use the default firewall (windows firewall) and yes they are my own computers.

I'm not seeing any problems related to the gateway settings which are correctly configured.

Homegroup does have occasional problems when trying to join the Homegroup with a wireless connection but that doesn't seem to be the case here.

Have you tried resetting the router yet? This would be a good first step.

Have you checked the time/date settings to make sure they are in sync on both machines?

You should also make sure that the wireless is not set to "Public" network, you want to set it to a Private network in order for sharing to work.

It's also required that when you are connected to the wireless you should check in the Advanced Sharing Settings at the Network and Sharing Center to ensure that you have enabled Network Discovery and File and Printer sharing, use Homegroup to connect etc.

It may help to go through the Homegroup trouble shooter to look for other potential problems.

I should also point out that many Homegroup problems can be fixed by simply leaving the Homegroup on all Homegroup machines then create a new Homegroup and rejoin.

I consider all of the tips but nothing changed . I really have bad feel.

Have you tried updating or reinstalling the driver for the Intel 6235N wireless adaptor?

Did you try doing this WITHOUT the Intel ProSet connection software "driver only"?

Or, have you tried installing the Windows WHQL driver for the Intel wireless NIC?

yes. I try to connect WiFi without intel Proset and using windows default setting, but nothing changed.

If the driver isn't a WHQL Windows driver that may be a problem here. The Windows driver will show up at Windows update or may automatically install if you try. Other than that I can't think of a good reason for Homegroup sharing not to work using the wireless connection.

Have you tried leaving the Homegroup on both machines then create a new one from the machine with the wireless connection and join the new Homegroup from the machine with the wired connection?

Dear chev65 thanks for your help.
finally, no one of the solutions works for me. I have to use the network that windows automatically setup for me between PC and Loptop.
again thanks for your responsibility.

Yes I've never seen quite this same problem before and I've been working on Homegroup problems for nearly 5 years on both the Windows 7 and 8 forums.

The bigger problem I see is that certain Intel chipsets seem to have problems joining a Homegroup but I've personally never seen a problem sharing with a wireless connection although I'm pretty sure there are other factors involved here which I can't see.
