Homegroup issues on laptop

[Salamander]

I have a desktop that is wired to my router, and two laptops that are connected wirelessly. From my desktop I can open documents on either laptop, edit them, and save them without any issues. However, I am having problems when I open a document on laptop A from laptop B. I can edit it, but can't save it back to the other laptop without renaming it.

I've tried going back into the documents folder of each laptop, and setting it to allow all homegroup users to edit and save. That works for a day or two, and then it reverts back to having issues. This is only on the laptops using wireless.

Windows 8 on all computers, and the router is a Netgear WNDR4500.

I've tried running the Homegroup trouble shooter to no avail.

Maybe this can Help.

Permission and Security issues with Vista/Win7, check the following settings.
All users that are allowed to share need to have account on all the computers that they are allowed to connect to.

Everyone is an account, it means a group of all of the users that already have an account and been established as users.


Using the Everyone feature saves the need of configuring permission to each of the established users, it does not mean Everyone that feel that they would like to login.

Users that do not have an account on the computer are Not part of the


Everyone Group.
If security on the LAN is Not needed and users are Not established, then switching On the

Guest account provides semi-open configuration.

---------------------
Point to the a Folder that meant to to be share. Right click and choose properties.
In the properties
Click on the Security tab shown in the pic bellow to the right) and check that the users and their permission (shown in the pic bellow center and left) are correctly configured. Then do the same to the Permission tab.
This screen shot is from Win 7, Vista's menus are similar.

In both the Security panel, and the Permission panel you have to highlight each User/Group and examine that the Permission Controls are checked correctly.
When everything is OK, Reboot the Network (Router, and computer).

* Note . The Groups and Users shown in the screen-shoot are just an example. Your list will look the way your system is configured.
