Windows 10 networking woes once again...
For the past few days or so I've been trying to troubleshoot a problem with LAN connectivity between two PCs: my laptop (ThinkPad T450s) and my self-built desktop. Both computers are running Windows 10 Pro 64-bit, build 10586.
Initially my problem was the infamous "one or more network protocols ae missing ...", but I managed to overcome that problem and managed to get my laptop and desktop to communicate once again.
However, that didn't last long as I have just recently moved my desktop into another room, the previous location was temporary and there I had the desktop connected to my LAN via an 802.11ac wireless NIC. Now My desktop is connected through the wired gigabit NIC instead of wireless, and I've lost connectivity again.
Basically if I try to ping my desktop from my laptop, the hostname will resolve to te correct IP addres but I won't actually get a response. This is true even with the Windows Firewall service disabled on my desktop.
And yet if I do the reverse by pinging my laptop from my desktop, I actually do get a response. What gives?
