HomeGroup in Win10

[vailr]

Having trouble getting HomeGroup working in order to share a USB printer connected to one local Win10 machine across the local network to another Win10 machine. The 2nd Win10 machine can, at first, detect the other machine that has the USB printer connected. But during the HomeGroup join process where you enter the pass code, it churns away for about a minute, then announces that there's no HomeGroup found.
Note: both Win10 64-bit machines are running build 14393.5.

Firewall issue?

Thanks for the link. Temporarily disabling the firewall on the first PC with the attached USB printer did work to enable HomeGroup. For whatever reason, the setup process is not working as smoothly in Windows 10 as it did in Windows 7.
