Can't join homegroup with IPv6 is on

[Joshi]

My pc have fix IP address like the other pcs in homegroup netwrok, all PCs are connected via fritz box router, and every pc gets connect to home-group on boot. Just now i have installed windows 7 on one pc, and can't connect it with homegroup. When I go to network and sharing center, I can see the option: "HomeGroup: Ready to Create" but I don't find option to join. Any ideas?

Have a look at following threads:

Homegroup Can't be join in Windows 7
Windows 7 does not connect to any computer on Network

Hope this helps.

You can use workgroup. That would also avoid the IPv6 problem because workgroup doesn't need it and workgroup is easier to share. Also you can try following:

• First Disable all other network adapters .
• Connect computer with cable and try.
• Go to Network and Sharing Center and see if there's another adapter, set to Public Network. Change that to home network too.

I had the similar problem solved it by doing the following:

1. Navigate to C:\Users\All Users\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA
2. Set Group "Everyone"'s permissions on the folder MachineKeys to Full Control.
3. Set my current user's permission on the UserSID folder to Full Control.
