Windows 7 Homegroup ?
Hi all

I have a desk top PC and laptop.

My laptop has a wireless card

My desktop in conencted to a router. So Cable > router > PC.

Can I set up a homegroup with this set up or do I need a wireless card also for my PC. Ie is my desktop put of the network ?

Hope that makes sense and thanks for your time

Regards

Mike

Just tried and it only seems to work (ie pcs talking to each other) when I connect a wireless USB adapter to the desktop.

Any ideas why this is ?

Thanks

Mike
