First, make sure other machines on the network are still showing that they are part of the home group. If they are, I would try reconnecting to your home group. It sounds as though you may have gotten disconnected. If you type the word "home" in the start menu, you should see a result for Home Group and for fixing problems with Home Group. Open Home group and try "Leaving Home group" and then Joining Home group. You will need your Home Group password.
This may sound ridiculous, but be sure your computer that suddenly lost the home group is connecting to the same network. I had a problem once where one of my computers could not find my home group, and it turned out it had connected to another wireless network I had forgotten was still active. Most of the dumb suggestions I have are a result of things that have happened to me.

I made the mistake of opening network on my 7 machine when one of the others on the home group was rebooting. Now, my network on the 7 machine is only showing the netwokr group, not the computers on the home group in the network window. I have tried rebooting, refreshing and to no avail. I need this network to be working properly as I move files around the pc's when editing and so on. Can anyone help and tell me how to get the computers in the home hgroup to re appear in the network window please. I am confident it was something that happened due to me iopening network at the wrong time. it must have caused an effect. Please help. smiles. thanks ] _______________________________________________ Any views or opinions presented in this email are solely those of the author and do not necessarily represent those of Ai Squared.
