I have a home network with 4 computers. The computer names are Omen, Envy, Backup and Desktop
Omen, Envy and Desktop are running Windows 10 21H2
Backup is running Windows 7 Home but has no problem connecting to or being accessible on the network
Omen, Envy and Backup are connected to network via wireless
Desktop is connected to network via Ethernet cable
Omen, Envy and Backup can see and connect to each other but can not see Desktop
Desktop can see and access Omen, Envy and Backup
In file explorer/network on each of the 4 computers only Omen, Envy and Backup are displayed
Desktop does not appear in "network" even on Desktop
Omen, Envy and Backup can not see Desktop, but Desktop can see and connect to Omen, Envy and Backup
I have tried every "fix" I could find (and understand well enough to implement) and none of them worked
I am using AVG Internet Security as virus software, and have specifically added all IP addresses, including router IP as safe connections
It doesn't appear to be a firewall problem as I have same problem when AVG is turned off
It seems some setting on Desktop isn't correct
- I have file & printer sharing enabled with password protection disabled on Desktop
- I have Network Discovery, Functional Discovery Provider Host,Functional Discovery resource Publication, SSDP Discovery, and UPnP Device Host enabled on Desktop
SMB 1.0/CIFS file sharing is not enabled
I'm beginning to wonder if the problem is the fact that Desktop is connected to network via USB while other computers are wireless, but if that is problem I have no idea what to do about it.
I would be most appreciative of any suggestions.
