    network tab only shows media devices and net work Infrastructure


    Hi,
    The network tab only shows media devices and net work Infrastructure, omits computer.

    I have laptop and desktop both have latest win10 updates and only one shows computer under network tab.
    I'm trying to share files between them through wifi network but the laptop doesn't show itself (computer) in
    network.

    What can I do to fix this?
    Thanks,
    Keith

    :)

    Network devices listed under Unknown in Device Manager


    I have a Dell Inspiron M731R laptop upgraded from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10 Home 64-Bit that suddenly quit connecting to the home network. Was using wireless, so switched to an Ethernet cable, but still no luck. I just discovered that ALL of the network-related devices are now listed under an "Unknown" tab in the Device Manager. A check of properties of each item in that folder says they are all working properly, but that obviously isn't the case. I tried uninstalling each of the 4 items, but when they are recognized again they still show up under the Unknown tab. Any suggestions would be welcome.

    Network notwork - computers listed as media devices. 1803 again!


    Notwork of 3 computers, Win 10, all patched to v1803, D is pro, hard wired to router, E is wife's desk and R is new portable - both 10-home on Wi-Fi.

    R is new, an Asus SonicMaster S510U that is recognized by the router. It has internet connectivity but I cannot transfer files to it except with sneakernet.

    I looked at the network structure on each computer using "Control Panel devices and printers" as well as File mgr - Network.

    D- devices: D and E listed as media devices, no computers, D does not see R.
    D- Network: D and E listed as media devices. Dbl click either brings up Media Player.

    E- devices: D and R listed as media devices.
    E- Network: D and E listed as computers and D again as a media device.

    R- devices: D and E show up as media devices.
    R- Network: R as a computer and D as a media device.

    The new laptop R is a ghost, sometimes seen but mostly not and doesn't participate.

    Using Team Viewer 12
    D and E connect, test file transfers OK.
    D and R connect, I can see partial R desktop (shows links but not folders), R sees D file structure, files will not transfer.

    Don't know if this matters - I ran the Network troubleshooter on all three computers - "Windows could not automatically detect this network's proxy settings", on any of them.

    I'm a geologist at wits end.
