    Network not showing on three out of four PCs


    Hi

    I have four W10 PCs, two Home and two Pro fully updated.

    All four are networked and used to show show up in Windows Explorer on whichever PC I was using,
    all I did was open Windows explorer and clicked on the Network Icon and all the PC's showed up.

    Recently the Network Icon is not showing so I can only access one PC from one of the other PC's.

    What can I do to get it back the way it was.

    I am Networking through my Internet Modem/Router, three PC's are wireless connected and one
    through Ethernet.
    All are set to share the C: Drive

    Any advice or comments appreciated

    Regards

    Daniel

    First you say you have shared c on all pcs are you using the default $ ie c$ or have you shared them? Sharing c is madness if you get hacked or malware it has access to every pc on the network the c$ is an admin share and you must use a admin username password to get access which is safer.

    Run this util https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/netbios_scanner.html on every pc it often kicks it into life. Note which pc is the master browser windows doesnt look for pcs on the network it asks the MB for a list so ideally the MB needs to be on all the time

    Hi

    I am not sure what you are asking but I am sharing with full permissions.

    I will run the utility and get back to you.

    Cheers
