    Surface Pro 4 can not see other home network computers

    My surface pro 4 is part of a home network and can be seen by other computers on the network, but the surface can't see the other computers. Homegroup is setup and works good on all computers on the network. Desktop and surface are windows 10 pro and
    my older laptop is 8.1 pro. If the desktop is restarted while the surface is on, the surface will see the desktop, but the desktop will only see the surface not itself under network computers. Once the surface is restarted it no longer see the desktop.
    Network discovery is turned on for all computers and all hard drives are shared. What am I missing!!!
