HomeGroup with Vista and 7

I have recently upgraded my desktop PC from Vista to 7, but my wife's laptop is still running Vista and my daughters have just received laptops with 7.  Can I set up a homegroup to include all of us?
We all use a Netgear wifi router to access the internet - do I need to change any setting to this as well?
many thanks,
Chris

HomeGroup requires all users to be running Windows 7. If you'd like to share files with other versions of Windows, have a look at the following link: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/help/sharing-files-and-printers-with-different-versions-of-windows
