HomeGroup - Wired and Wireless connections via 7800N

[gsa999]

I am struggling to get the WIndows 7/8 HomeGroup feature working using the Billion 7800N router.

I have one laptop wired into the router and 3 laptops connecting by wireless. All are in the same domain. The SSID on the wireless network is the same as the name of the wired network
The Homegroup was created on the wired laptop and using the password generated the other 3 are all able to join that same HomeGroup. So this bit appears to work

However the wireless laptops can all see each other but not the wired laptop via the HomeGroup feature. On the wired laptop I cannot see any of the 3 wireless laptops. If I connect the wired laptop by wireless they can all see each other

Any ideas why there appears to be two seperate networks created (a wired one and a wireless one) even though they have the same names.

Howe do I fix this

Have you tried to access the troubled computer using the IP address you will have to put a '\\' before the IP address eg \\192.168.1.100

I normally enter the IP address in network and sharing center as shown in the attached screen shot
