Hi all,

I have two laptops set up. one with Windows 7 64bit and one with Windows 8.1 64bit.
I have a home group setup and my windows 7 computer can see the windows 8...all files and folders that are shared. My Windows 8.1 cannot see all the shared files and folders from the Windows 7 computer. They are all shared properly. I have gone through the check lists over and over. The only things showing up on my windows 8.1 computer is the basic: Music, Pictures, Playlists, and Videos folders. None of the drives that I've shared will show up. I also can't share my printer that is connected to my windows 7 machine. This is frustrating because I've done all the steps.

Nothing I do works. It's really frustrating!
Help please!

Thanks!
Todd
