computer visibility

I have a PC running Windows running Windows 10 ver. 22H2 and a laptop running the same, except for a minor variation in the build, on my home network. Both have an OS partition and a Data partition. I want to access the Data partition of the other from each machine, but cannot. I am able to see...

Hello, I have been googling this issue for a while now and searching these forums but have not found a solution. I have 4 computers all running Windows 7 64bit Ultimate. They have all been part of the same Homegroup for a while now and have worked fine. They all run the same Avast Free...

With the computers networks that I install I need all computers to be able to see each other. With XP this is simple. All I need to do is have the same user name and password and workgroup name at each computer. I also create a share on the C drive to all. Then when I go into network places...

Two computers are windows 7. One is windows XP. I am not running a HomeGroup. I didn't like how it shared the C:\Users folder by default. From computer A( the problem one) I can sometimes see the other machines on the network. For example, if I was to map a drive to another machine or just...

Ok, I have tried everything I know of. My XP machine can see/access my windows 7 machine BUT the windows 7 machine cannot see the XP. Both machines can ping each other. the Win. 7 is running mcafee free trial they give you and the XP is running Norton. Turned off both firewalls, no luck. I...

Hello, I regularly encounter the same problem that i can not access or see a XP machine from my W7 machine I could see before in my network. The strange thing is that remote desktop still works. The other way around stll works: I can see the W7 macine on my xp machine. The only solution I...

I am unable to create a completely open network between multiple computers running Win7, Vista and XP on a simple Workgroup network? I need all devices (hardrives, DVD, CD, etc…) available to all machines without any restrictions (not just the Public Directory). It was working fine until...

I just loaded my desktop machine with Win7. While it was an XP machine I was able to share with all computers including Macs in my house by setting everyone to the same WORKGROUP. I connect the desktop to a WiFi router via Ethernet cable and all others connect via WiFi. I have turned on file...

It looks like I'm almost there but I'm missing some setting. The computers can see each other, but I can't actually access one from the other. when I try to access the vista computer from the 7 computer, I click on it and it just goes to a blank page. With Vista I can access the d drive on the 7...

Hi all, I run Win 7 64 bit on an i7 950 processor based machine with 6 GB RAM. There are 3 more computers at my home which operate under win xp pro operating system. When I open windows explorer on the win 7 computer I sometimes see the other computers (under network) and sometimes I don't...

I have a basic LAN with 4 computers running Windows 7 RC 7100... I have joined all the computers to the Home Group, but most of the time when switching on the computers, some do not appear on the scene, wether in Home Group, or My Network... it is only until you log into them that they appear...

I originally, I had Vista and I have genuine Windows 7 RC. When we set up Windows7, we couldn't find out how to connect to our other computers. I'm trying to play a game over my network with other computers, but I can't see them because of my problem. I can't use HomeGroup because these are XP...

I have viewed many other threads here but none of them have solved my issue. Anyway, I have a lappy with Windows 7 and a desktop with XP. Both are on the same router. When I go to network view on the Win 7 computer I can not see the computer but I can see the Windows Media Player sharing...

I have read every variation in several forums to no avail. I have 2 machines on running XP Pro SP3 and on running Win 7 7057. When I had Win Beta 7000 I figured out the Networking in a few minutes. I have been working on this for 2 days, with little success. I have figured out how to Map a...

W7 is installed but only sees itself and the internet thru the router. How do I get it to see my other XP computers???

I have two computers at home on a wireless network - a Laptop on XP, and My Desktop which was on XP but is now running Windows 7. I had a simple network for file sharing working fine - they are both on the MSHOME workgroup. Upon installing Windows 7 on my desktop, I added it to the MSHOME...
