No idea, Den, sorry.  Could your firewall on one of the machines be blocking something?   :dunno:

No, I adjusted the Kaspersky firewall on both machines with the same result.  ':|

Can I suggest that you have a poke around on the Kaspersky forum?  There does seem to be a number of threads with issues setting up Homegroups.  Here's one:

Have a look on eBay, Clive.  You can get genuine licenses there much cheaper than renewing through Kaspersky.
