They can be pinged, but they can not be accessed by name. Putting their IP or name into the 'Search' box results in 'not found'. They are in the same workgroup. They are attached to the same router. Did I already say they can be pinged? Therefore, they are all configured correctly. On the Windows 7 computer, I cannot see any of the others - Except one of the XP machines which is listed as a 'media device' for some unknown reason.
I don't have a home group. I have it set up as a 'work' network, and it has the same workgroup as the XP machines. Please excuse my frustration. I keep seeing the same replies, over and over, in numerous locations to questions about this issue. Yet, posters continue to post and say "I still can't see the XP computers on my network" - then someone posts a link that says "Follow these instructions", which are the same ones someone else already posted, and which the complainer me, in this case has already indicated they have followed in my case, at least a dozen times.
I am guessing the answer is: Microsoft has no clue what is going on, and has no intention of investigating to fix it. Yes, I am aware that this works for many people. But, for many others it appears to not work. One reason I stick to XP on some machines? Microsoft Movie Maker. In XP it is very nice and functional. On Windows 7 it is a piece of junk.
Marilyn O. In reply to Dean Kent's post on July 28, On the final page of the wizard, click Finish. If you are prompted to do so, restart your computer. Sincerely, Marilyn.
In reply to Marilyn O's post on July 31, Marylin, Here are my answers: 1 First, make sure the Workgroup name is the same on all of the computers in the network. I understand you have already done this step Correct: Workgroup is the same on both.
Did both, just to be certain. In reply to Dean Kent's post on August 1, What is the result when you boot into Safe Mode with networking? Right click Local Area Connection, and then click Properties.
Click Advanced. I am just writing to check the status of this thread. Was the information provided in previous reply helpful to you? Do you have any further questions or concerns? Please feel free to let us know. The power supply just went out on this PC so I was able to restart in safe mode-networking but it's still not showing. The only thing I wasn't able to try yet was to disable the VMware adapters. The only strange thing about that is I have another Windows 7 x64 PC with VMware on it and it doesn't have this problem.
I suggest you restart the Function Discovery Provider Host service to check the result:. If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type the password, or click Yes.
Also, try to restart the Network List Service:. Click Start, type services. In the list of services, right-click Network List Service, and then click Restart. This is just to strange. I checked the two services and the fdphost wasn't running so I started the service and also restarted the Network List Service but it's still not showing.
Hi Phil,. I would involve some people who is more familiar with these problems to help you deal with this issue. There would be some delay. Thanks for your understanding.
The first thing to do is to verify how the Windows Firewall was turned off. Once you verify that the Windows Firewall is disabled properly now we can start looking at other components. This is why we can see everything from the problem PC but ourself.
All of the moving pieces appear to be in place for this to work, so it might be a deeper problem. In the Network connections window, press the "Alt" key, now you should see the file menu options for this window 3. Click the Advanced option, then select "Advanced Settings" and verify the binding order 4. If you have something else listed here it could cause problems and you would need to refer to the manufacturer of that software for guidance on making these changes.
You could also check the status of the Computer Browser service and compare it to the PC's in your environment. It could have something to do with this service, and you should compare this to your others.
