    Windows 7 pro 64bit not showing any computers in network map


    When clicking on "network", only the computer I am working on shows up.
    This is on an active directory domain.
    I have made sure network discovery is turned on.
    Link layer topology is started and is checked for all network adaptors.
    I have gone into gpedit and turned on Mapper i/o and responder.
    I have tried turning off the firewall.

    I can still map drives just find and such but I need to link a program to a license manager and it will only work through the network map.
    Our XP machines are fine, just our windows 7 32 and 64, that do not work.

    double check and make sure the other windows 7 pc has network discovery on also because maybe one of them doesn't have it turned on

    What I did was to use the same user name and password for both machines, connected to the same workgroup, then set restrictanonymous to 0 in the machine containing XP following instructions here:

    Can access shared folders on a PC running Windows 7 from a PC running Windows XP but not vice versa
