I re-installed Windows 7 Home Edition 64 on a Bootcamp partition run by Parallels 9 on my MacBookPro after upgrading to the new Yosemite OS.
This laptop was correctly working on my home network, before this upgrade and re-install, comprising of two iMac and one Windows desktop running Windows 7 Home Edition 64.
Since this re-install, I am unable to reinstate the HomeGroup network on my laptop that worked before. When I go to HomeGroup, it tells me that there is no HomeGroup user (hence no "join" button, only "create"), when in fact my PC is running with the HomeGroup activated. I have of course selected the network discovery and no password buttons in the network advanced parameters window.
My desktop does not detect the laptop either, even though I put both PC on the same workgroup, and tried to select the network. But this is most probably where the problem lies because I am unable to understand how I can make sure they are on the same network. I checked the Windows IP config and could see that both were on different IPs hence networks, now the question is how do I change the Network of my laptop to reach my PC's?
Thank you for any help on this tricky matter.
