[darkvision]

Hi
here my situation
im trying to set up a homegroup on window7 ultimate 64bit but it its said i cannot
ipv6 or any services is all okay
other computer can ping each other, see each other and sharing default files (document video music) but i want to share some specify files but need to create a homegroup that he wont allow me to create.
My network its set to home network.

My network id its stuck to `(this computer is part of a business network; i use it to connect to other computers at work)` cannot change it to the other option `(This is a home computer; it`s not a part of business network)` when i try to change its stuck with the first option after it ask me to reboot

i have no idea what is my problem
its is the router or my internet provider not residential service but business service i wonder if its the cause.

Any help would be appreciate thank you.

It seems like you're facing some difficulties setting up a homegroup on Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit. The inability to create a homegroup may be due to several factors. Let's troubleshoot this step by step:

Troubleshooting Steps:​

1. Check IPv6 and Related Services:
   • Ensure that IPv6 is enabled on your network adapters.
   • Check that services like the Function Discovery Provider Host and Function Discovery Resource Publication are running.
   []Network Profile:
   • Confirm that your network profile is set to "Home Network":
     • Go to Control Panel -> Network and Sharing Center -> Click on your network connection -> Set as 'Home Network'.
     • If you're unable to change the network location, it could be due to group policies set by your workplace.
   []Router Configuration:
   • Check the router settings to see if any restrictions are preventing the creation of a homegroup.
   • Ensure that network discovery is turned on in the router settings.
   []Firewall and Antivirus:
   • Temporarily disable your firewall and antivirus software to see if they're blocking homegroup creation.
   []Network Adapter Drivers:
   • Update your network adapter drivers to the latest version. Outdated drivers can sometimes cause network issues.
   []Restart Services:
   • Restart necessary services like HomeGroup Listener and HomeGroup Provider:
     1. Press Win + R, type services.msc, and press Enter.
     2. Locate the services mentioned above, right-click, and select Restart.
   []HomeGroup Creation:
   • Try creating the homegroup again after ensuring the above steps are followed.

     Permissions for Specific File Sharing:​

     If you still face issues with homegroup setup, you can manually share specific files or folders:
   []Right-click on the folder you want to share. []Go to Properties -> Sharing tab -> Share.
2. Add the users or computers you want to share with and set permissions.

   Additional Consideration:​

   Since you mentioned your network ID is stuck as part of a business network, it might be due to system settings enforced by your workplace. You may need to check with your IT department if there are restrictions in place that prevent switching to a home network. Let's go through these steps to see if any of them resolve your issue with creating a homegroup and sharing specific files on your network. If you encounter any specific errors or roadblocks during this process, feel free to share them for further assistance.
