Requested video to fix computer not showing on local network.

[@MwishaLudack]

I'm glad you responded to our request. We really needed to hear from you. Thank you for doing researches to help your viewers. Good on you sir.

[@ches74]

I recently found out that Samba is off by default in Windows 10. It seems Microsoft changed that since I previously installed Windows. It could be the upgraded machines kept it switched on but the fresh install was off by default. Thanks, Bri, you do a great service by everything you show us.

[@Daltonpat]

It took me ages to get find a video that actually helped me.. Thanks so much! Now it's asking for references...The search continues :)

[@hulkhatepunybanner]

I did everything on the video but my laptop on Wi-Fi is still not able to see my other PCs on Ethernet and vice-versa. They're even on the same workgroup.

[@flytomoon2209]

I did that all but still other pc local network device not showing

[@plantrob]

I've looked at multiple websites and videos claiming to be able to do what you've done (make computers that used to see each other do so again (one got a new hard-drive which I guess is where things got messed up)). But unlike so many others your video absolutely nailed it, in 10mins. You clearly know your stuff, thanks!!

[@Cyba_IT]

Ticking all the SMB boxes in "Turn Windows Functions On and Off" worked for me thanks Brian. Have been scratching my head for ages over this one. Legend mate.

[@BrettWalker]

Thank you! This resolved my issue where one computer could see another on my network but not vice versa. Much appreciated!

[@secondavatar]

I had to disable AP isolation on router configuration for it to work. hope it helps others. Thanks.

[@MwishaLudack]

Excellent sir Brian. Your wonderful tutorials are on par with the content of books. So, I'd rather watch your channel than search from books. This is one of those crucial tutorials I needed, especially because I'm responsible for managing files and printer sharing and sometimes I get stuck solving issues. Now, I'll be a master at work. Thanks, bud!

[@Britec09]

You're welcome mate, I try and make it as easy as possible

[@vicentesanchez7398]

Awesome succinct instructions. It took care of my connectivity problem in no time. I much appreciated your help.

[@N3CR0LICH]

Thank you. Your video helped me. It’s more thorough and up to date then a couple other videos I watched.

[@JungleJimAB9AB]

An outstanding commentary and walk through of a daunting problem all too common to home computer users. Thank you for explaining this process and posting your video for everyone to learn from your knowledge.

[@Digmen1]

Why should setting up a home network be daunting? A lot of people have more than cone cppmuter in their house And they want to share files and printers

[@NightGiggler]

You are a life saver. Ever since the latest windows update I have not been able to access the desktop server on the network. Thank you very much for your detailed tutorial!!!

[@RawrRwar]

THANK YOU very much! Your list of services was invaluable, and lacking in all other guides. I've set up countless networks yet struggled with a friend's new Win10 install and couldn't figure out what I was missing. Thank you again!

[@kevinwfalls2576]

Excellent video. Fixed my problems where other videos did not. Thanks!

[@mrjlwjlw]

This has helped more than once. Your videos are so helpful and well done. Thank you.

[@shawnalley3309]

Thank you for this video. A recent Win10 update must have changed the network setting to "Public" on both of our Windows10 computers and we could no longer see each other. Fixed now thanks to this video!

[@MrBmarx]

Great video Brian! I tried out to check my config (in French) and FYI it wasn’t that simple to identify the French name of services that have to be tuned. What would be really great is that you would provide either the file.msc you’re dealing with or why not explain how to check all this with the command line. What do you think? Kind regards.

[@Minotaur_]

"Turn Windows features on or off --> SMB 1.0/CIFS File Sharing Support - TICKED" did it for me. No computers were showing on "network computer and devices", only media devices, network infrastructure and other devices. I don't understand why this is turned off. Who doesn't want to see computers in "network computer and devices"? Thanks so much, this was a very informative video.

[@sue8001]

Thank you so much for your help today. This has been a Godsend!

[@ArdieIlardi]

I can't thank you enough for this video. It worked and fixed the problem. You Rock.

[@jamesonmontgomerymontgomer4788]

This is by far the best video I've seen on the subject! Why? cuz it was the only one that worked... Thank you...

[@harryburton959]

This was very helpful. Love these network problem solvers. Thanks Brian.

[@Britec09]

Thanks Harry

[@KelinaJ]

The SMB file sharing support check did mine up right nice. Thanks!

Best video ever!, Finally I can see my laptop, I expended the entire afternoon looking for this information!. You are the best!, Subscribed and Alarm Bell for sure!

[@rastamanliveup3706]

Great video. Finally solved my issue after a long time of troubleshooting. Keep up the good work.

[@johnsonclair9851]

Referred to this excellent video many times trying to get two computers to see each other on a home network. Made all the changes described without success. Subsequently discovered related articles mentioning network resets. Performed one on each computer and now they see each other as planned. In addition, doing so didn't change any of the settings detailed in this video. Only glitch seems to be that every so often, one of the computers will disappear and a network reset is again required. And no, no windows update has occurred to cause this. My only complaint with network reset is that it takes over 5 minutes to complete but otherwise seems harmless as it relates to impacting anything else negatively.

[@sidthefinger]

thank you Brian...another great video...i have to do the two function service fixes every time windows10 does a feature update

[@Britec09]

Windows 10 for you

[@Major-Fsharp]

This information is fantastic. I've been having those (not showing on local network) issues for a while. Connection: a Win10 client to Server 2003. I did everything you said, re-booted and "BOOM" there they are. Thank you so much Britec09 , or is it OB1? Cheers

[@AlicanGoodmane]

Thank you!!!! Oh man I was losing it. I thought I needed one of those old network cables back from 90's to make computers see each other again. Services solved problem for me.

[@Nobody423]

Isn’t smb1 flawed without security holes?

[@iqbalthanzeem]

Thank you so much for your great support

This is the only one video that helped me to play minecraft on lan server, you are the legend. I wish you had a tons of subs.

[@JohnJohn-ts6ux]

Hi Brian great stuff, it might be useful for me one day, so both of them the two computers have Wi-Fi enabled on or one can be off Wi-Fi and one can be on Wi-Fi? Sorry for you silly question because it's my first time to experiment this. Thanks Brian as always keep up the good work you doing for your KZbin fans. Thanks thumbs up for you👍👍👍😊

[@Britec09]

cheers for the thumbs up

[@budgetspcmasterrace1179]

Well explained as always !

[@Britec09]

Thanks

[@RobertAgarHutton]

THANK YOU - VERY STRANGE my computers didn't see each other today - your first fix solved the issue but I wonder if a Windows update could have changed the setting because they WERE seeing each other a few days ago????

[@theflangdude]

Thank youuu....turning windows features on (SMB) did the job

Looks like it was my firewalls that were preventing me access. Turned em off and it worked. Thanks for the video! Although I'm kicking myself for not realizing the obvious.

[@Britec09]

Glad I could help out

Indeed; Windows 10 finally forced me to linux.

[@emanuelcosta6945]

great vid, it's the services, as soon as I put function discovery resource publication automatic and hit apply my computers showed up, cheers

[@AutoProSoftware]

Great video - thanks mate!

[@Killswitch1411]

Thank man.. My sharing worked for awhile but then just stopped.. I dont recall making any changes.. But going to into services did the trick.!

[@Dr_Salahuddin]

Thank you sir, you solved my problem

[@kumbongstanleyyoh2746]

It worked perfectly well for me. Thank you

[@Leftatalbuquerque]

Thank you. There should be a simpler way to do all this - a wizard or a one-button push to make it happen.

[@Digmen1]

Yes, you would think that after 20 years of Windows Networking, they would have been able to make this easy and automatic for everyone. We should not have to dive into all of these Service settings, many people hava home network, and do not have an IT guy like like at a big company.

[@kevlec1947]

Nice post, Thanks Brian.

Hi. Would you do a video about hibernate Show in the start menu in windows 10? Thanks.

[@Britec09]

see what I can do.

[@KevinBenecke]

Hibernate is actually hidden in Windows 10. You have to go to the "Power Options" section in the "Control Panel" to make it show up. Once there, click on "Choose what the power buttons do." Then once there, you'll see the "Hibernate" option check box under "Shutdown Settings." It most likely will be grayed out. To get to this option Click on "Change settings that are currently unavailable." This should enable those options. Now you can click the "Hibernate" feature and activate it. It will now show up in the start menu where you can shut down your computer.

[@sandraperron2004]

Thank you for this great troubleshooter. I should have known it was the SMB1.0/CIFS File Sharing Support Feature. haha

[@cspark9186]

You have the "Public Folder Sharing" ON at minute 2:26 and OFF at minute 10:32. It should be OFF, correct? I guess this depends on if you have Public files to share. Thanks for the great video.

[@aamer_ali]

Thank you very much

[@Knards]

This is a great help. What else needs to be done to access a seperate drive on one computer from another if it is shared? I always get the cannot access \other win10 computer\h drive. I can see the h drive from the computer, but no access. I have sharing on

[@duleglowe]

"separate" Note that your don't just access 'drives', you access 'objects' known as 'Shares' - a noun, like shares in a company. You have to make shares and make them available on machines that you want to access (give them suitable permissions too). Then from another computer you go looking for those shares.

[@dianah5404]

ADDITIONAL TIP for VPN users. Make certain that the "Invisibility on LAN" setting is turned off for both computers. On a private network the only computers that will able to see others are those already on the network. Should you want to isolate a machine temporarily, you can turn the "Invisibility on LAN" setting on without making any other changes to the computer you want to isolate and off to return the computer to visibility.

[@elisunday1304]

I've been banging my head into a wall for 3 hours! You fixed my problem in 1 minute 45 seconds

Same here. I've read and watch all kinds of guides on setting this up. This is the first one I saw that mentioned setting the connection to a private network. Fixed my problem.

your a genius thanks. I just couldn't figure it out. Was even using powershell lol

[@macster1457]

I've done all these settings and they do work...but only for a day or two.. I have to keep going back and stop/start them in order for it to work again. Not only on my PC, but on all PC's. I wish there was a permanent fix for this.
