But, what is the hostname? Or, do you mean to actually type "hostname" without the quotation marks?

samuria · 29 Apr 2018

The second ipconfig /all you posted doesnt have netbios running and doesnt have any dns set an has lots of tunnels open and admin cmd prompt ie fid mdex right click choose ru as admin then type these one at a time press return after each line

netsh advfirewall reset
netsh advfirewall set allprofiles state ON
ipconfig /flushdns
netsh winsock reset catalog
netsh int ip reset c:\resetlog.txt

netsh int ipv4 reset
netsh int ipv6 reset

ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew

reboot

do it on both pcs see it works then or try this see if it can see the other pc NetBScanner - NetBIOS scanner

On 655D pc, though as admin and user "G" several of the lines responded "no user specified." Also needed to reboot after several lines completed. Also, ipconfig on both computers had /all, only each computer showed. That said, here is ipconfig for 655D:

Also, how do I "try this see if it can see the other pc NetBScanner - NetBIOS scanner?"
Your advice is appreciated.

samuria · 30 Apr 2018

You just run it and scan it should show the other PC with details try on both. Disable ipv6 on both as it's not used and can be a problem

metaguy · 30 Apr 2018

I got the following on both computers:

metaguy · 30 Apr 2018

Windows cannot find "netbiosscanner.exe". Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again.

metaguy · 30 Apr 2018

What a mess... E6420 showed the 655D Home group but no files. Ran troubleshooter and it added a Home group with no name nor data. 655D has no home group. Both indicate possible firewall (Bitdefender) but I've allowed. Should I start over?

metaguy · 01 May 2018

Samuria - I'm a bit dense... sorry.
1. I've uninstalled ipv6 from both computers.
Here are the rersults from both betbscanner scans:

Does this get us anywhere?

samuria · 01 May 2018

As the scanner sees the pcs it likely the firewall giving problems try disabling it on some that doesntwork you have to remove it.

from cmd prompt type

net view

net share

post results

metaguy · 04 May 2018

The net view and share were done with firewall disabled on both pcs.Obviously, it does look good. Should I go back and start fresh?
