HomeGroup It's a feature introduced by Microsoft With the launch of the operating system Windows Vista, feature that has been maintained and on Windows 7. With the help “HomeGroup” We have the opportunity to share very easily printerthe and/or personal files (images, document, music, film, Applications And others downloads) in LAN (Local Area Network).
To connect and be able to share files (sharing files) with other LAN computers, it is necessary first of all a local network (local connection between two or more PCs can be done by switch or router) and two or many computers.
Homegroup-ul It can be created by any of the PCs in the LAN, but to access the shared files you need the permission (by password) of the one who shared the files.
How can we enter with the PC in a Homegroup (Join Homegroup)
1. Click Start Orb (Bulina with logo Windows from the left-hand left), at Search Testam “HomeGroup” and click on “HomeGroup”. (Another version is directly from Control Panel)
2. Select libraries (Pictures, Music, Videos, Documents or printer) for which you want to share and Next.
