    Make computer not discoverable on network ?


    I just connected to a network, and when prompted if I want other computers to be able to find this one, I clicked 'yes' by mistake. How can I change that to 'no' ?

  2. Computer cannot see itself and other computers cannot see it

    Hi,

    Do the following steps and see if it will help make "Computer C" discoverable to other PCs and devices on the Network:

    1. Go to Settings/Network & Internet/Wi-Fi.

    2. On the Wi-Fi screen, select Manage known networks/the network connection you want to change/Properties, and then turn on the switch under
    Make this PC discoverable.

    Thanks.

    file sharing on 3 Win10 computers --- something is wrong --- should be EASY

    Hi JW5341,

    Have you confirmed all computers are on a "private" network. It looks like it "Computer C" is probably not.

    Control Panel > Network and Sharing Centre

    Under the active networks it should have "Private network" and home group status should be "Ready to create".

    Additionally please make sure that your PC is set to discoverable or NetBIOS will not work.

    PC Settings > Network and Internet > Ethernet/WiFi

    Change to make this PC Discoverable.

    Let us know how you go. Cheers.

    -Sam

    Win+X -> Control Panel -> Network and Sharing Center -> Advanced sharing settings

    Then Turn Off Network discovery
