One-way traffic on home network
I have a laptop and a desktop networked through a router. The laptop is attached to a domain (running Win7 Enterprise 32-bit), the desktop is not (running Win7 Professional 32-bit).
- In the "Network" folder on the desktop, I can see the desktop and the laptop, and I can access both. Same on the "Network Map".
- But on the laptop, in the "Network" folder, I can only see the laptop. Any attempts to access the desktop by IP address or UNC path are met with a network error ("Windows cannot access \\desktop"). The desktop appears in the "Network Map" but it cannot be clicked or otherwise interacted with.
I have a homegroup set up on the desktop but I cannot join it from the laptop.
What do you think I can do to allow the laptop to see the desktop?
