I read and followed the steps before I even checked here, it is not what I am looking for.

What I need (and I believe the original poster needs as well) is the ability to have MULTIPLE homegroups on the same LAN. For instance, let's say I have 4 computers named "A", "B", "C" and "D". I want computer "A" to be able to share with "C" and "B" to be able to share with "D", while "A" and "B" can not see one another, and the same for "C" and "D". Is this possible?

I have the same question.  Did you even read the question?  It is not how to make a Homegroup, but can you have more than one.
