    Devices missing from Network in File Exporer


    I have a small home network. Two wired desktop PCs, two wireless Surface tablets all on Windows 10 Pro, fully up to date and a wired server running OpenMediaVault. I’ve just added what will become a replacement server – same hardware, later version of OMV software. For a long while I’ve concluded there’s no logic to what devices appear in the network map! [File Explorer > Network] After I added the second NAS I checked what appeared in the network view on each of the four computers and compiled the table below.

    Explorer missing a network device


    Hi,
    Missing network device - EXTERNALDRIVE
    Since the last Windows 10 update which I installed on Dec. 9 I am missing one devices in Explorer > Network on one of three network computers.
    They are all present on the other two computers. One of these is Windows 10., the other is Vista Premium.
    The complete device list under network is Frankspc, Charlottespc, and Sue_ASUS and ExternalDrive.
    The missing device on the Explorer list on Frankspc is EXTERNALDRIVE. I can ping it at 192.168.1.3
    Any Ideas on how to get it back in the Explorer list?
    Thanks

    Network device missing

    Hello Charles,

    There is no limit to the number of devices that can be on the network.

    Please provide us more information to help you further:


    • Which device are you trying to connect?

    • Are you trying to connect through home group?

    If you are trying to connect through Home group, I suggest you to remove the Home group and try adding it back and verify the result.

    Hope the above information helps. Reply with the necessary information to help you better.
