Windows 10: After I reset my network it works fine until I reboot my computer the network is gone

After I reset my network it works fine until I reboot my computer the network is gone

:)

 

Network reset required frequently for computer to be seen on network

People have been offering suggestions to fix this problem for years. I have these suggestions have a best been only a temporary fix. The problem always comes back. The only thing that helps is a batch file that someone wrote on this forum: Code:

Running it on each computer sometimes hurries thing along so all the computers starting showing up in the network. Note it works on computers with Windows 7, 10 & 11 but not Windows XP. I find it annoying to have to do even this so I have a fallback. I have a folder on every computer's desktop called My Network.

In that folder I have shortcuts to every computer on my network.

To create a shortcut to a network computer is simple. It is \\ + <ComputerName>. For example, the shortcut to the computer EventHorizon is \\EventHorizon. Note these shortcuts work with computers with Windows XP, 7, 10 & 11.

 

Computers Vanished From File Explorer But Network Still Works

I agree with @Try3. I have tried every suggested method to fix Windows networking suggested on these forums. All at best only worked for a short time. The only things that helped was:

1. Batch file I suggested in an earlier post
2. Creating shortcuts to computers on my home network

Note these two things are not fixes but workaround. However, at least they help and have never failed. I have shortcuts set up for eight computers on my home network. I have created a folder on my desktop called My Network to hold the shortcuts. They have a mix of the following operating systems:

• Windows 10 - 4
• Windows 7 - 3
• Windows XP - 1

 

recognize ethernet ports for computer to computer network

I worked all this out for a Win7-WinXP direct ethernet computer-to-computer network and later amended it for a Win7-Win7 network. A step-by-step procedure for creating a two-computer Ethernet cable network - MSAForum You can use a crossover cable but do not have to. Doing this in Windows 10 is just about the same as doing it in Windows 7 but some diagrams look different & you have to look around for the equivalent settings in some cases. But I suggest you do yourself a favour and get a router so that it does all the hard work for you. Best of luck, Denis
