    I have a problem joining a network that I created.
    In "network sharing center" it shows "joinedâ€
    When I click on it, it goes to the "Home group" page and I can click on "view or print passwordâ€
    And I can see my password. To make it simple I just named it "Svenâ€.
    I then go to the laptop and follow the prompts to enter the password, the wizard goes thru the motion and comes back with an error:
    Windows cannot setup a network on this computer.
    No further details, anyone know what I am doing wrong?
    Thanks
    Sven

    I printed the page and read thru it several time, but for some reason I cannot do it.
    I am pre occupied right now and cannot concentrate. I will try again over the weekend. For now I will mark it solved.
    Thanks
