Cannot see laptops with files shared over the network

lolcocks · 23 Jan 2016

I have two laptops, both sitting next to the WiFi but from some reason I cannot see any shared device on laptop 1.

And on laptop 2, I can see all the devices with shared files in them. I can even access the shared files in laptop 1, but I cannot see the shared files on laptop 2.

Why is this happening?

I just installed Windows 10 on both of them, same method, same software, same laptops that is same model.

Why is this happening?

I forgot to mention how I shared it.

All I did was create a new folder on "D:" drive.
Right click and Properties -> Sharing -> Share.
In people to share with I put down "Everyone" and added it and then gave Read and Write permission.
And then clicked Ok to share it.

That's all I have to do right?

Here are some screenshots:
On one laptop I can see both my laptops. The one I am using as well as the other one.
And on Laptop 2, I cannot see any device except my router.
