Windows 10: One PC's files not visible to other PCs on same network

I have three computers in the same workgroup, my main computer (Desktop), a barebones system (Server), and a laptop (Laptop).


Desktop and Server are both are connected by ethernet to the same router, with Laptop connecting to it via WiFi.


Server and Laptop both see each other without issue and can share files. Neither Server nor Laptop can see Desktop. It's the same the other way around, too: Desktop can't see Laptop or Server.


I've noticed in the network and sharing centre that Desktop is connected to 'Network 2' whereas Server and Laptop are listing the router's name as the active network (BTHub6-PGQP-5). It seems odd that the PCs would have different active networks listed, and I wonder if this is the source of my trouble?


One final note, I've tried pinging all the machines and the pings return fine for all PCs so they must be able to technically see each other if that makes sense.

My PC is not listed in Network


Hi Eagle51 & thanks for quick response

I am very grateful for your help

1 was not enabled. I enabled it and restarted the HT-PC, but now the HT-PC is not visible in Network list on any computer.

...then i run 2 and both was true.

Next step?

 

W10 network works one way only (both PCs not visible)


Reader's Digest version: Both of us are on the same network through an Asus RT-AC56R router. Both are running Windows 10, fully patched, checked w/ Belarc. My network is visible to her system and public files accessible. Hers, and the usb printer on her PC are NOT visible at all to my side of the network. It's as though her system isn't on the network.

Every setting in network sharing matches. I've checked several times to be certain both PCs have the exact same Advanced Network Sharing settings.

I am also running Linux Mint 64-bit as a dual boot. Needless to say, networking using Linux is PERFECT. Any suggestions?

Thank you
