I can access my other computers, they just don't show up in Explorer.exe
Dell Optiplex 7020, I7, 32GB ram, ect, ect, ect. (built in Ethernet is Intel(R) Ethernet Connection I217-LM)
So, i installed Windows 10 (thinking it's going to be an improvement) and suddenly my computer can't see itself of any other computers on the network.
I have all the "advanced sharing settings" wide open, i tried public/private network, i tried business/home network, i went to services.msc and put DHCP, both Function Discoveries, SSDP, and UPNP on full "automatic" (just to be safe). Same workgroup as my other PC, shared drives and wow, to no surprise, it sees media, multifunction, network infrastructure, printers, and scanning devices but it can't even see its self.
My other PC, that's running 2004 version of Windows 10 sees all computers just fine.
So, what's going on and why can't my computer see it's self and the other computers on the network suddenly?
Nothing seems to work. Oh, and for the record, Way to "not" go on wiping out the old "System" menu (that worked perfectly for ages) and forcing us to go into multiple links to get the same info. Fix what isn't broken and make it more "inefficient". Nice job, guys.
Update: I installed Samba version 1.0 and managed to see "my" computer, at the very least. Remember, i can access my other computers, they just don't show up in Explorer.exe
Here's an oddity. If i get a command prompt and type "NET VIEW" i can see the computers but Explorer still doesn't see the others. So, Explorer is the problem?
(Later Update)
END RESULT: Out of nowhere, it suddenly started seeing the other computers. Magic? Inefficient networking protocols? Who knows.
The most important question is "why?" Why take so long? Why so many settings? Didn't have to do this with the older version of Windows. What product are we actually running now? This product is getting to be so "alien" compared to the older Windows that i didn't have to go through all this **** with.
In all honesty, when it comes to telemetry tracking, Windows shines. But it seems that all this is becoming more important than stable, easy to use, and secure networking.
