Windows 10: PCs Can't See Each Other On A Network

Hi

Our network has not been working properly for ages but we've coped. Now, however, I want to get it working as it should do. Our network comprises three PCs, our two main PCs and a spare which does get used on a regular basis. All are connected via ethernet cables and currently the state of our network is as follows (and I hope it means something to someone).

A:
Sees both B and C in NETWORK plus itself and the router;
Cannot access C as we are asked for credentials - none set;
Has ready access to B.
B:
Cannot see either A or C or even itself in NETWORK - only the router appears;
Can readily access both A and C via desktop icons;
No access via program save and open dialogues.
C:
Cannot see either A or B or even itself in NETWORK - only the router appears;
Can readily access B via desktop icon;
Cannot access A as we are asked for credentials - none set;
No access via program open or save dialogues.

I've ensured that all permissions are appropriately given by adding Everyone and granting Full Control. I have even checked the four services that affect things and were missing the previous Win10.

I don't think of myself as a bimbo when it comes to computing but give me anything to do with networking beyond the basics and I am lost and I'm looking for assistance. Therefore, if there is anyone who can help out then it would be very much appreciated.

If any further info required please let me know and I'll respond as best I can.

How to Dump Networking Parameters?


Had a customer with this problem, they had a brand new Dell Optiplex 3050, with Windows 10 1709, and Realtek Gbit Family of lan adapters (wired connection). After much troubleshooting (many suggestions listed in the course of this thread), it turned out the PC needed a bios update. Among the updates listed on the dell website for bios version 1.52 (I flashed it with the latest 1.92) was "Update RealtekLOM".

LOM is "lan on motherboard" and the Realtek has flashable firmware.

One step for others having this issue is to check their computer manufacturer's website for "Lom" firmware updates for the particular network adapter - whether integrated or an add-in.
