Can't see network shares
Hi,
I currently have two PC's - a Windows 7 desktop which is ethernet attached (PC-A) and a Windows 8.1 laptop (PC-B) which is wireless.
Until the other day, the two PC's were able to see each other and access each other in Network Places and both could see the router and the network printer attached to PC-A.
Now, however, PC-A sees only the router. It does not see itself or PC-B and the printer is no where to be found. If I click on the router icon, nothing happens - I am not logged into the router.
PC-B, meanwhile, can see itself but not PC-A. It does not see the printer but is able to print and clicking on the router icon logs me into the router.
I can ping from one PC to another and am able to access network shares from both PC's by entering \\computername, so I know that it isn't a firewall issue and there are no issues with permissions.
Both PC's have access to the Internet.
I am using a workgroup and both PC's belong to WORKGROUP.
All advanced sharing options are correct on both machines.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
