Chapter 18. Networking Your Home with HomeGroup

Windows 8 provides two interfaces for connecting to and managing network connections with the Internet and with other users on your home or small-business network. These interfaces are the Start screen and its PC settings screen for basic network settings using HomeGroup, and the desktop’s Control Panel for fine-tuning HomeGroup networking. This chapter shows you how to work with the HomeGroup settings in each of these interfaces.
