bruinator Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 Hi, I am trying to set up 2 computers on my wired network. On one (lvui67k) of them I can see both (lvui67k) and (5h7el87). On (5h7el87) I can only see itself. Under change advance sharing settings, the both have the same values checked off. When I select "set up a new connection on network " I can not find lvui67k". What am i doing wrong and how do I fix it? thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sylence Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 How did you connect those computers to each other? did you use a switch or router or did you connect them directly to each other using Ethernet cable? if yes then was it crossover too? which version of Windows?

You're welcome, well let's check a few things, 1. network location in both of your PCs should be set on private so that it will allow you to find other computers on the network or create home groups. if you haven't done that yet or you're not sure then use this to set them to "private" To Change Network Location Local Security Policy 1. Type: "edit group policy" in the Windows 10's search bar and open the program.2. In the left pane, click/tap on Network List Manager Policies. (see screenshot below) 3. In the right pane of Network List Manager Policies, double click/tap on your network name (ex: Network). (see screenshot above) Note You can click/tap on All Networks if you wanted to apply this to all networks on your PC instead of a single network. 4. Do step 5 (Not configured), step 6 (Private), or step 7 (Public) below for what you would like to do. 5. To Allow Network Location to be changed by OPTION ONE and OPTION TWO NOTE: This is the default setting. A) Click/tap on the Network Location tab. (see screenshot below) Under Location type, select (dot) Not configured. C) Under User permissions, select (dot) Not configured. D) Click/tap on OK, and go to step 8 below. 6. To Change to a Private Network Location A) Click/tap on the Network Location tab. (see screenshot below) Under Location type, select (dot) Private. C) Under User permissions, select (dot) User cannot change location. D) Click/tap on OK, and go to step 8 below. 7. To Change to a Public Network Location A) Click/tap on the Network Location tab. (see screenshot below) Under Location type, select (dot) Public. C) Under User permissions, select (dot) User cannot change location. D) Click/tap on OK, and go to step 8 below. 8. You can now close Local Security Policy if you like. 2. make sure you've connected all computers to the LAN ports, not WAN. 3. if above steps didn't solve the problem, try disabling Windows firewall or any other third party's, then manually set up a home group on any of those 2 PCs and see if you can join it on the other PC. try to ping each other's IP too.
