Windows 10: I can only see my laptop on my network, which is what I am using and not my other desktop

I can only see my laptop on my network, which is what I am using and not my other desktop

:)

 

Can RDP into my desktop using my phone, but not using other computers, what could be the cause?

I habitually use RDP to access my desktop, but have enountered some problems after moving and setting up my computer on a new network.

When using the RDP app on my android phone (on 4G so not same network), I am able to connect to the computer. However, when I try to connect with either of my laptops, it stays at "Initiating remote connection" without opening the login prompt.

I used portqry to check if port 3389 is open for RDP. When I do this on the computer I try to remote into is comes back as "listening", but when I try with the laptop on an other network it comes back as "filtered"

This made me think there is a firewall issue, but the strange thing is that I can successfully connect with my my phone. I have tried connecting with my laptop while going online using the same phone as a mobile hotspot, but it still doesn't work. Therefore it seems to me that the problem must be on the laptops I try connect with.

I haven't had the experience that I am able to connect with some devices, but not others. Do any of you have suggestions for what I could try?

My desktop that I am trying to remote into is running Win 10 pro
The laptops run Win 10 pro and Win 7 Pro
The phone is running Android (only device I have been able to connect)

Things I have tried so far based on google search

• made sure I have remote desktop enabled and setup port forwarding on the local network (this should be correctly set up given I can connect with my phone)
  
• use mstsc programs located in both System 32 and SysWOW64
  

EDIT: The issue turned out to be the firewall on the laptops I was trying to use to connect with (two different work laptops)

 

How can I find the password for my Windows 10 laptop?

I found a solution to my problem. What I did was:

1. Open Network & Sharing Center on the laptop.
2. Click "Change advanced sharing settings"
3. Expand the "All Networks" item.
4. Change "Password protected sharing" from On to Off.

Now when I click my laptop name in File Explorer > Networks, it just shows my shared folder without asking for a network credentials password. This is how it used to work before.

Hope this helps others,

 

Windows 10: Can see current wireless network, not seeing others

Thanks Geethu - unfortunately these steps didn't address my problem. I am not having a problem finding wireless networks *overall*. I am currently connected to the internet via a wireless network. The problem is that I am only seeing two wireless networks
on my desktop computer while my laptop computer can see many others in the area. FOr instance, we have a wireless extender in the house as well as a wireless thermostat. My laptop sees them both; my desktop doesn't.

I did try turning my antivirus and firewalls off but that didn't help.

My computer was custom built. I have a Qualcomm Atheros AR946x Wireless Network Adapter.

I do not get any error messages. The networks simply do not appear in any lists of available networks. Were I to guess I'd say my computer thinks all these networks are "hidden" networks even though they're not.

Thanks!
