Windows 10 Networking issues.

Question

Here's my issue. &nbsp;I have three Windows 10 machines and a Windows 7 machine. &nbsp;The Windows 7 machine can see all of the Windows 10 machines. &nbsp;The Windows 10 machines can all see the Windows 7 machine. The Windows 10 machines can't see each other and they don't show up in networks folder. &nbsp;I have verified all the advanced sharing is correct and I can ping each machine from the others. Is there a solution? &nbsp;I can't see a shared printer either.

All machines are domain joined or workgroup based?&nbsp;

All machines are workgroup based.

salmanahmed · Answer

Please make sure the workgroup name is the same in all machines and the network discovery option is enabled on Windows 10 machines.

joelarrabee · Answer

They are all on the same workgroup and discovery in enabled on all.
