Hello I as i said on my tittle, Can't ping Pc(wired) from my Laptop which is wireless. Let me describe what i have done so far, I checked the ip and subnet mask all ok, I closed the firewall with no luck, I tried using ethernet cable and pinged the pc its working like a charm also i can see files, I have a second laptop sitting all day, and tried ping the 2 laptops can ping each other wireless, also the second laptop can see the pc ping and see files from it. Finally looked my router nothing suspicious.
Any ideas??? I have done Clean Installation 3-4 days back on all devices and was working ok.zpc
thanks in advance

Are pinging via IP or name it's possible the name hasn't registered the other thing to check is the router settings a lot by default have a settings in wireless something like user isolation this is designed if someone hacks in they can get internet but have no access to local PC's

Hi BlackRose56. Welcome to the TenForums @BalckRose56

You didn't mention checking the status of your connection to ensure they are all designated as Private. I noticed on quite few installs that a network will be designated "Public"

I would also power cycle your router.

Hey ken all the devices are in private as i checked, also i forgot to mention that i changed every device workgroup name to homeftp.

Run this on a few pcs can it see it https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/netbios_scanner.html note which is master browser

after trying the program that you suggested, i can see that the master browser is the Desktop which is wired.

Or - much faster - do this:

1. Right-click on Start and select Windows PowerShell (Admin) from the power menu.
2. Copy/paste the following one-liner and press Enter:

Code:

net view | ? { $_ -match '^\\\\(\S+)' } | % { $matches[1] } | ? { nbtstat -a $_ | sls '__MSBROWSE__' }

It'll query all the devices it finds and report back the device showing as master browser.



(Disclaimer: Not my code. I found it on Reddit a while ago.)

Hope this helps...

So the program saw another pc but not the other? could the pc that isnt seen if you run it on that does it see the others? on the one thats the problem from a cmd prompt type

If you are not running any special communication programs like VPN I would run "Network Reset". Found I had to run it to get my devices showing in the Network section of File Explorer. Will cause wireless passwords to be forgotten on device.

Start > Settings > Network and Internet > Scroll to bottom right hand side > Network Reset

Did you power cycle router.

I dont use vpn, but i tried reset network on laptop no luck and on desktop no luck
