Windows 10: Devices on my local network unreachable

From a PC (called PC1 later on; running W10), I do not see other PCs or multimedia boxes connected on my local network.
Using \\192.xx.yy.zz doesn’t work.
From a W10 tablet PC (called PCt later on), I see other connected devices: Dune HD and PC1. From PCt I can even navigate into PC1 directories.

In PC1 Network and Sharing Center, I cannot enable file sharing.
When clicking on the button to activate it and then saving the changes, I notice, when reopening the parameters window, that it hasn’t been changed. It remains disabled.

The "computer browser" Service will not start because of dependencies (1068 error).
The "workstation" Service will not start because of dependencies (1068 error). This service is required to "computer browser"

Thanks in advance for your help.

Unable to access LAN web server and services with Asha 302

Hi all,





I seem to have a problem with my Asha 302.



I can connect to my home wi-fi and access the internet with no problems at all. However, I'm unable to access web servers or services on my own LAN.



First spotted when I tried to set up the 'Mail' application and creating custom settings to connect to my own IMAP and SMTP server on IP address 192.168.0.199. The mail app would inform me that the server was unreachable or words to that effect.



Using both the Nokia web browser and Opera, I have since tried connecting to a local web server again on 192.168.0.199 and both browsers replied with address unreachable. Have also tried connecting to my router on 192.168.0.1 and again I get address unreachable.



My phone connects to my wi-fi with address 192.168.0.15 - and with gateway 192.168.0.1, DNS 192.168.0.1 as per any other device on my network.



I have also tried doing exactly the same thing on a Nokia N8 - and the N8 is successfully communicating with local servers.



I'm running v14.53 and had same problem with 14.23.



Can anyone advise?



Many thanks.

 

can you recieve a meaage while content copier is running?

not sure, but my guess would be that network would recognise phone as unreachable for a moment and SMS would get resent after backup

 

Have you set up a Home Group? In my experience that's the easiest way to get proper sharing setup.

 

All my devices are in the default WORKGROUP.

The problem could be related to some software upgrade as I made no change and it worked a while ago.

 

Hello,

Problem solved!

Looking at windows events viewer, I noticed that services couldn't start due to corrupted files.

The analysis and repear using:
SFC / scannow
solved the problem.

The services now start properly at boot time.
