Cannot access Win10 machine via local network
I am 'birthing' my first Win10 machine, OS V1809, and must have goofed something up...
All machines in my home belong to the same Workgroup and the users/passwords are consistent across all machines. From my Win7 desktop, I:
- Can access my Win10 machine, via Explorer, using its IP address
- Can ping the Win10 machine using both its name and IP address
- Cannot access the Win10 machine, via Explorer, using its name
From the Win10 machine, I can see all other computers on the network and access all of them.
I do not believe that this is a firewall issue as the issue persists when the firewall is disabled. I do believe that network and file sharing is enabled (but, I could be wrong). The issue exists with both the Ethernet and WiFi connections, so it is probably not interface-specific.
Please suggest what I can do to resolve this issue. Thx.
