    Windows 10 LAN network connection - one computer can't see one other computer


    We are a small office with a LAN peer to peer network. All computers are running Windows 10 Pro. Suddenly, one computer is unable to see one other computer. Computer #2 is able to see Computer #1. All other office computers are able to see Computer #2 and Computer #1. Computer #1 is able to see all the other network computers. Rebooting both computers did not help. Both computers are up to date with updates. This is a new problem, Computer #1 was able to see Computer #2 just fine before the holidays. A search for Computer #2 by name does not find it. Troubleshooter did not find any issues.


    We need to resolve this. I'm running out of ideas!

    :)

    2. Win+X->Control Panel->Netwok and Sharing Center
      Follow the screen shot. This should disable internet access from this PC but allows access to local device(s)
      NOTE: Use the IP & Subnet Mask from step 1. Leave Default gateway & DNS Server blank

    Thanks for the quick response. Have you tried to follow and run all the steps provided on the link above?



    How are you trying to connect to the network? Wi-Fi / Lan?



    • If you’re trying to connect via Wi-Fi, kindly check if the Wi-Fi service is enabled on your computer.


    • If you’re connected via LAN, kindly unplug and re-plug the Ethernet cable connect from your computer to the router.


    To further isolate this issue, kindly try connecting another device on the Internet and check if the same issue occurs.



    Follow all the steps provided on the link below on how to fix network connection issues:
