Windows 10: windows 10 can not see other computers and shares on network

Hello,

i have a problem with my computer. I have Asus RT-AC87U AC2400 Gigabit Wireless router. I have a seagate free agent drive connected to router and shared it with samba/cifs protocol. My computer is connected to router trought cable over one switch. Problem is that i can not see other computers or samba shared drive over router in network places in windows 10 pro. I found that two services was stopped so i started them and set to automatic start. Now i can see my computer but not others. Others can see my computer.

Thanks for reply.

Cannot access shared network drive

I could scream! so much time wasted on this stupid error, as if time is not precious enough!
It probably would work fine if I could see the other computer! But I cannot see the other computer!
