Windows 10: 2 win 10 pro laptops cannot see win 10 home desktop on wireless LAN

I see you've fixed your problems now, but FYI...

I said check the Workgroup, not create a Homegroup. The two are very different things. All networked Windows PCs from Windows 3.11 on (aka Windows for Workgroups) are always set up as members of a Workgroup. The Homegroup is an 'optional extra' on top of that, first seen in Win7. A PC can only see other PCs on the network that are in the same Workgroup. This tutorial explains more...

Bree:

Thank you for being persistent with me!! When you replied Workgroup, my addlepated brain read Homegroup. After your final post the light came on in the back of my brain and I reread your statement and made the correction of the wrong Workgroup names so they all agreed with my XP netbook and now all four computers are again speaking with each other.

Thank you again for helping me solve my problem. I shall mark this thread as solved due to you!!
