Have 4 computers & NAS on the "Workgroup" within a private network. Most are using static IP addressing, one is using DHCP.
Two are Windows 7 machines, two have been upgraded to Windows 10.
The "Network" on the windows 7 machines show everything including the windows 10 machines and the NAS.
Both of the Windows 10 machines show both of the windows 7 machines but not the other windows 10 machine nor the NAS.
The NAS can be connected to the windows 10 machines using the app even though they do not show up on the windows 10 machines "Network". (Not a real problem & has been addressed in other forums)
When ARP -a is run on any of the Windows 7 or 10 machines, all the other IP addresses are there including the NAS.
All of the machines can ping the other IP addresses on the network.
It would seem that something in the Windows 10 OS is not allowing the other Windows 10 machine to show up in "Network".
Any insight would sure help as Windows 10 appears to be a great upgrade even without the network mapping feature that was in windows 7 nor showing the NAS.
Prior to upgrading the 2 windows 7 machines (now on windows 10) to windows 10, everything was working just fine. Four computers and the NAS were showing up in "Network" and connectivity was excellent.
Before I convert the remaining two Windows 7 machines to Windows 10, I must know just what is causing this issue and the solution. The inability to communicate between these two computers, if not solvable, is a deal breaker.
Thanks
