Windows 10: Cannot see laptops with files shared over the network

I have two laptops, both sitting next to the WiFi but from some reason I cannot see any shared device on laptop 1.

And on laptop 2, I can see all the devices with shared files in them. I can even access the shared files in laptop 1, but I cannot see the shared files on laptop 2.

Why is this happening?

I just installed Windows 10 on both of them, same method, same software, same laptops that is same model.

Why is this happening?

cannot share files and folders between two laptops both running win 10 and on the same private network

1. I cannot see laptop 1 on laptop 2 but I can see laptop 2 on laptop 1 (explorer > network)

2. Cannot share files or folders - tried to share, define permissions, add security, works for some time but disappears if one of the laptops go to sleep. Checked Advanced Sharing on network...

I am an advanced user - all I am trying to do is share folders across 2 laptops both running win 10..

Please help!

 

WLAN on N95

Many thanks for the advise, my N95 is now surfing the net well over my wifi, but now cannot switch the file sharing feature on and windows does not seem to see the phone on the network, so do you have any suggestions on how to get file sharing working?

 

I forgot to mention how I shared it.

All I did was create a new folder on "D:" drive.
Right click and Properties -> Sharing -> Share.
In people to share with I put down "Everyone" and added it and then gave Read and Write permission.
And then clicked Ok to share it.

That's all I have to do right?



Here are some screenshots:
On one laptop I can see both my laptops. The one I am using as well as the other one.
And on Laptop 2, I cannot see any device except my router.
