    Win 10 PC can't see itself under Network Folder


    I remote support family computers using TeamViewer. This problem has two computers PC-1 and PC-2 on a home LAN. Neither PC-1 or PC-2 see PC-1 under Network Folder. Both PCs see PC-2 under Network. I'm trying to get PC-1 to see itself under Network. Although neither computer sees PC-1 under Network UNC path works. PC-2 can access \\PC-1\c$

    PC Specs

    • Both PCs running Win10 Pro x64 v1909 Build 18363.1016
    • PC-1 is a Dell Optiplex 755. PC-2 is a Dell Optiplex 990
    • PC-1 has Intel 82566DM-2 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter w/Driver version 9.13.41.3

    PC-1 Setup
    • Network Status: Ethernet Private network
    • Ethernet -> Network Profile -> Private
    • Network and Sharing Center -> Advanced Sharing -> Settings -> Private (current Profile)
      • Selected Turn on network discovery
      • Selected Turn on automatic setup of net connected devices
      • File and Printer Sharing Turned on
    • Service Function Discovery Provider Host Running | Manual
    • Service Function Discovery Resource Publication Running | Manual (Trigger Start)

    PC-1 and PC-2 are in the same Workgroup. PC-1 AV/Firewall is Norton. I turned off PC-1 firewall off and rebooted. PC-1 still didnt see itself under Network

    Win 7 PC can't see shared folder of Win 10 PC

    I have small home network. The Home Group sharing capabilities are working both ways.

    For some reason the Win 10 PC do not appear in the network list in my Win 7 PC, while the Win 7 PC do appear in the Win 10 network list (and can access it's shared folders).

    Any ideas?

    Thanks,

    Meny

    Win 10 PC can't see itself under Network Folder

    Win 7 and Win 10 on network

    I have home network with separate modem, router, and WAP's. My Windows 7 computer does NOT list the Windows 10 computers on network computer list but the Windows 10 computers network list DO list the Windows 7 computer.

    Turned off firewalls, gave permissions, shared drives. Nothing allows Win 7 computer to access the Win 10 computers.

    Any suggestions for a fix?
