WHS 2011 can't join Homegroup (Windows 7) - Password incorrect

Question
-
Hi
I've got a WHS 2011 server and I'm trying to join it to a Windows 7 based Homegroup....I keep getting the error message "The password is incorrect. Pleasr try again"
Now I've tried to change the password to ensure it's not a case sensitive issue and it's not.
All machines are in the same workgroup, attahced to the Home Network via the same Homeplug set up.
Any ideas? I've looked through the forum and can't see anything sepcific except this topic which seems to be dead
Thanks

I don't use a Homegroup as its permissions conflict with those defined by WHS itself, but I would try setting up a Homegroup on WHS and joining your other clients it it.
