Do you have the Firewalls set to Allow the "new" IP Addys?

<div>
<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
We have a client that has three laptops that they have a HomeGroup on. &nbsp; This has worked in the past but now that they are onsite a hotel for a conference we aren't able to get this to work. &nbsp; &nbsp;They are using the hotel's wireless to get to the internet so this is the setup:<br />
<br />
1. &nbsp;Home Network is set to the Hotel Wireless through the Wireless adapter.<br />
2. &nbsp;&quot;Unidentified&quot; is the ethernet adapter.<br />
3. IP4 and IP6 is on both adapters.<br />
4. &nbsp;If I turn off the ethernet adapter, it can't see the other computers. &nbsp; <br />
5. &nbsp;If they are both turned on, they can't connect to the homegroup even though it &quot;sees&quot; the homegroup.<br />
<br />
We have done this before but not with the wireless turned on and being used. &nbsp;Is there a way to do this? &nbsp; What am I missing?
