[SOLVED] Files on network computers visible ONLY if accessed via IP..
I have 5 Win7 computers connected to the same homegroup/workgroup via a Cisco Linksys E1200. All four computers are HPs of various makes, 3 laptops (one of them is a $600 brick) and 2 desktops. Any computer that is awake and online, shows up (with its name) in Network on the other machines. However, double-clicking to view files on these computers returns the following message:
Details: Error code: 0x80070035 - The network path was not found.Code:Windows cannot access \\COMPNAME Check the spelling of the name. Otherwise, there might be a problem with your network. To try to identify and resolve network problems, click Diagnose.
Diagnose, as expected, did nothing. However, here's the fun bit - when I try to access files on other computers by browsing their IP address, everything works perfectly. For now, anyway. I'm expecting a sudden degradation any day now.
Is there something I can change either on my systems or on the router itself that will enable me to view files on the other computers by name?
