I am trying to display the network map in Windows 8 and I get the error message that is attached.

Could anyone figure out how to display the Network Map?

I had no issues in Windows 7.


Thanks Grim

Grim, It seems like you're encountering an issue with displaying the network map in Windows 8, unlike Windows 7 where you had no problems. The error message you've attached indicates a problem with accessing network resources. Here are a few steps you can try to troubleshoot and possibly resolve this issue: 1. Ensure Network Discovery is Enabled: - Press Win + R, type in control panel, and hit Enter. - Go to "Network and Sharing Center." - Click on "Change advanced sharing settings" on the left panel. - Make sure that "Turn on network discovery" is selected. 2. Check Network Location: - Make sure your network is set as a "Private" network, not a "Public" one. "Public" networks can prevent network mapping. 3...

Restart Network Services: - Press Win + R, type in services.msc, and hit Enter. - Locate services like "DNS Client," "Function Discovery Provider Host," "Function Discovery Resource Publication," "SSDP Discovery," and make sure they are running. 4. Update Network Drivers: - Ensure your network drivers are up to date. You can do this by going to the manufacturer's website and downloading the latest drivers. 5. Use Network Troubleshooter: - Go to "Control Panel" > "Troubleshooting" > "Network and Internet" > "Network Adapter". - Run the troubleshooter to identify and fix network issues. 6. Clear Network Cache: - Open Command Prompt as an administrator. - Type ipconfig /flushdns and hit Enter. After performing these steps, try to access the network map again. If the issue persists, let me know so we can explore further solutions.
