    Can't use hostname to establish remote connection or browse into guest


    Since I upgraded one of my PCs to version 2004, I can't neither remote connect to another PC (running Windows 10 Pro) nor browse into it via Explorer when I use the PC host name in the credentials. The host machine is visible in Explorer Network folder, and I can only connect to it by entering \\<guest local IP> in address bar. I can also type the host name to remote connect on RD Client app for Android.

    So, in short, the guest PC cannot find the host by its host name any longer, only by its local IP. The guest machine can ping the host by its PC name (local IP shows besides host name), with no packet loss, so it can see the guest, but I still don't know why it doesn't accept the host name in the credentials. Unlike Windows Explorer, Remote Desktop Connection can't connect with local IP.

    edit: both machines have DHCP on

    :)

    uninstall remote desktop connection on windows 10


    That usually means one of the two things:

    1. The incoming remote connections are not enabled on remote host, the machine you are trying to connect to
      -- OR --
    2. The remote host is not available in network
    Check that your VirtualBox guests (remote hosts) are set to accept incoming remote connections, and that they are visible / available in your network.

    Disable Guest Browsing

    There is currently no way to disable Guest browsing ("Browse as Guest") in Chrome running on Windows. Guest browsing can only be disabled on a Chromebook.

    EDIT: Starting with Chrome 73 (which is quite recent) it's now possible to do this. That's because, starting with Chrome 73, Google has made it possible for certain Chrome settings to be centrally managed through the Windows registry. You can use the instructions

    here    .

    Editing the Windows registry is dangerous! One mistake can really make a mess of things. Be very careful if you're going to do this.
