Requested video to fix computer not showing on local network.

I've looked at multiple websites and videos claiming to be able to do what you've done (make computers that used to see each other do so again (one got a new hard-drive which I guess is where things got messed up)). But unlike so many others your video absolutely nailed it, in 10mins. You clearly know your stuff, thanks!!

Ticking all the SMB boxes in "Turn Windows Functions On and Off" worked for me thanks Brian. Have been scratching my head for ages over this one. Legend mate.

[JonABaptist]

I searched and watched numerous videos on this issue and within the first two minutes of yours you called out something that fixed the issue. Thanks!

"Turn Windows features on or off --> SMB 1.0/CIFS File Sharing Support - TICKED" did it for me. No computers were showing on "network computer and devices", only media devices, network infrastructure and other devices. I don't understand why this is turned off. Who doesn't want to see computers in "network computer and devices"? Thanks so much, this was a very informative video.

Excellent sir Brian. Your wonderful tutorials are on par with the content of books. So, I'd rather watch your channel than search from books. This is one of those crucial tutorials I needed, especially because I'm responsible for managing files and printer sharing and sometimes I get stuck solving issues. Now, I'll be a master at work. Thanks, bud!

[BrettWalker]

Thank you! This resolved my issue where one computer could see another on my network but not vice versa. Much appreciated!

I had to disable AP isolation on router configuration for it to work. hope it helps others. Thanks.

An outstanding commentary and walk through of a daunting problem all too common to home computer users. Thank you for explaining this process and posting your video for everyone to learn from your knowledge.

Referred to this excellent video many times trying to get two computers to see each other on a home network. Made all the changes described without success. Subsequently discovered related articles mentioning network resets. Performed one on each computer and now they see each other as planned. In addition, doing so didn't change any of the settings detailed in this video. Only glitch seems to be that every so often, one of the computers will disappear and a network reset is again required. And no, no windows update has occurred to cause this. My only complaint with network reset is that it takes over 5 minutes to complete but otherwise seems harmless as it relates to impacting anything else negatively.

You are a life saver. Ever since the latest windows update I have not been able to access the desktop server on the network. Thank you very much for your detailed tutorial!!!

[AlicanGoodmane]

Thank you!!!! Oh man I was losing it. I thought I needed one of those old network cables back from 90's to make computers see each other again. Services solved problem for me.

[RawrRwar]

THANK YOU very much! Your list of services was invaluable, and lacking in all other guides. I've set up countless networks yet struggled with a friend's new Win10 install and couldn't figure out what I was missing. Thank you again!

[SilverScratch]

Looks like it was my firewalls that were preventing me access. Turned em off and it worked. Thanks for the video! Although I'm kicking myself for not realizing the obvious.

ADDITIONAL TIP for VPN users. Make certain that the "Invisibility on LAN" setting is turned off for both computers. On a private network the only computers that will able to see others are those already on the network. Should you want to isolate a machine temporarily, you can turn the "Invisibility on LAN" setting on without making any other changes to the computer you want to isolate and off to return the computer to visibility.

Isn’t smb1 flawed without security holes?

[vicentesanchez]

Awesome succinct instructions. It took care of my connectivity problem in no time. I much appreciated your help.

[NelsonCartier]
