Windows 10: Windows 10 Network Sharing. Files etc

Hi

Fresh installed Windows10Pro including the latest anniversary update etc, the reason for the reinstall was due to updates not working and the fresh install passed this.,

Prior to install I had network sharing working fine. MY PC and other devices ie Media Player Box on the TV (Med8er 1000XD) all worked fine. Had sharing hard drives and so on. No issue.

Now I am unable to see either my pc or the other devices in the network.

They show up in the homegroup and the devices see each other, but file playback is not working. I know previously with networking this was not issue.

On the media player theres a menu function to go to Network devices. Workgroup show up and the media player shows but not the pc.

ON the PC neither the PC or the Media player show up as they previously did as network coputers.

The problem is on the network neither this pc or the other device show up.

So I know the PC and the media device can see each other over the network.

I use ESET Security v9. and both file and printer sharing and other options are active as before the reinstall.

What am I missing. The only common denominator of change is the reinstall and the anniversary update.

Both devices are set to the default WORKGROUP.
SAMBA is on the media player as before.
Nothing has changes apart from the reinstall.
File and printer sharing all on
Any help greatly appreciated.

Use network reset to reinstall network devices

Using network reset should be the last step you try. Consider using it if the steps above don’t help to get you connected.
This can help solve connection problems you might have after upgrading from a previous version of Windows to Windows 10, as well as fix problems where you can connect to the Internet, but not to shared network drives. It removes any network adapters you have installed and the settings for them. After your PC restarts, any network adapters are reinstalled, and the settings for them are set to the defaults.
Note
To use network reset, your PC must be running Windows 10 Version 1607. To see what version of Windows 10 your device is currently running, select the Start button, then select Settings > System > About.

• Select the Start button, then select Settings > Network & Internet > Status > Network reset.
• On the Network reset screen, select Reset now > Yes to confirm.Wait for your PC to restart and see if that fixes the problem.

I hope it's as easy for you as it was finally for me.

File sharing and network issues (Troubleshooters do not fix!)

Hi all,

Since moving to windows 10 Ive noticed Im having issues with my network, homegroup, file sharing etc.

- I can only file share one way on some PCs

- Network drives etc. do not accept correct credentials

- None windows network drives cant be mounted

any help would be greatly appreciated,

Shaun

Moved from: Windows / Windows 10 / Files, folders, & storage

 

Network map on home network

Surprise but after upgrading the 3 machines on my home network to Windows 10 I can no longer transfer files over the network. I know Windows 10, unlike 7, cannot generate the network map. I believe there may be an app to help with this problem does anyone
know of it or how to get machines talking again after upgrade? They are all joined in the 'home group' and set to share files etc.

 

The master browser hasnt picked it up you need to find which pc is master browser How to Determine the Master Browser in a Windows Workgroup | Scotties Tech.Info

 

Thanks for the reference. Just did a simple first task from that link "net view"
No results found.



Is it possible the network is not setup somehow?

 

You do not need to do anything in the Command window. The problem that you are getting is one that has been known since AU/Redstone 1 was pushed out. It is a very common issue due to Microsoft tightening Windows 10 security policies to protect the OS from the users bad habits.

 

you mean due to microsour DUMBING down the os to control what the enduser can and cannot do.

 

Did you download the test software in post 3 to do the test that often kicks it into life is net view working on other PCs

 

Hi Smauria
Actually no I missed it, sorry I missed it at the bottom of the page.

Result the same unfortuantely







I tried again with firewall switched off just in case. Received the following

 

Was the Homegroup initially set up on the machine you've now done a clean install on? If so you may need to create the Homegroup again from scratch and get all the other machines to join the recreated Homegroup. It's for reasons like this that I prefer to use Workgroup networking.

 

Hi Homegroup was manually setup now deleted.
I've reset the router and the pc is now showing up in network as expected. The media player is not, but does show up as a media device.
Also on the media device, the media player shows up and the pc is not showing up on the workgroup.
So each device displays itself on its network location but neither is seeing or accessing each other
I do not want to use the home group function only the workgroup network.
Ive logged on to the router and can the devices have the same ip assignment ie 192.168.0.24 for PC and 192.168.0.19 for the media player. These are auto assigned. Although I did try and set the PC to 192.168.0.1, then rebooted the router, pc and media player. This is the point the network showed up with the PC finally showing in the network.
Logged back onto the router and the IPs for the pc and the media player had reverted to 192.168.0.24 for pc and media player 192.168.0.19. The router is naturally 192.168.0.1.

 

Now you have changed things re run the scan again see if that now works

 

Hi yes, no change

 

UPDATE - Bloody great. Rebooted system since yesterday. PC is not showing in network neighbourhood. Appears all gone again.,
Why is this so flaky?
I understand there could be some user error. But never had this many problems setting up a network with win 98 setting manual IPs etc, Win10 should be more advanced in its simplicity.!
Im really stuck here please help.

Ran Lan.exe again now not getting anything just press any key as soon as run, alevated.





Tried the following:

sc.exe config lanmanworkstation depend= bowser/mrxsmb10/nsi

sc.exe config mrxsmb20 start= disabled

Netsh winsock reset

Netsh int ip reset

Rebooted no change

Is anything here relevant ? https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2696547

 

Update

By following the next post I got the windows10 pc showing up again in the network but not across the workgroup. But still no other devices from the pc and likewise the other devices cant see the system.

Can't see other computers in Workgroup on Windows 10 computer - Page 6 - Windows 10 Forums

I have logged on tot the router and all devices are set for an assigned IP

This PC 192.168.0.2
Media 192.168.0.3

All showing up fine each device.

Workgroup on both devices are set to the same name "workgroup"

The other device (media player) is samba and on.

Sharing private with discovery on the pc (as in original post).

Still no further. Help please.

Tried the following from

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/...nection-issues

To run these networking commands in a command prompt window

• In the search box on the taskbar, type Command prompt, press and hold (or right-click) Command prompt, and then select Run as administrator > Yes.
• At the command prompt, run the following commands in the listed order, and then check to see if that fixes your connection problem:
  • Type netsh winsock reset and press Enter.
  • Type netsh int ip reset and press Enter.
  • Type ipconfig /release and press Enter.
  • Type ipconfig /renew and press Enter.
  • Type ipconfig /flushdns and press Enter.
  
  
  Result
