Windows 10: Having problems with my network sharing

I have a couple of PCs on my network both of which are using Windows 10. For some reason, I'm having problems with the network. On one computer I can see both computers that are on the network. I can open up one computer from that computer and put things in the public folders. However, if I then go to the other computer which is my main daily works computer there are no computers listed under network. It was working the other day which is puzzling. As far as I am aware I have not changed any settings. I wonder if someone can shed some light on what could be wrong?
