Network does not show connected computers.

Small home network. 3PCs (all running Windows 10), 1 WDMYCLOUD NAS. I am NOT using Homegroup, but Network.

Before this, when I clicked on Network in Windows Explorer, I would get a list of connected computers/NAS underneath. (I could then click on those and browse shared folders).

Since today when I click on Network that does not happen. I can still see shared Media Devices, Multifuncion Devices, Printers and Storage, but not the machines themselves. The WDMyCLoud NAS shows up as storage, but when I click on it it doesn't direct me to shared folders, but to the cloud IP address.

When I type \WDMYCLOUD (or the name of one of the other 2 machines) in Windows Explorer in the address bar, I CAN connect successfully and I have access to the shared folders. Although this does work for now for trying to save and open files to shared drives I used most often (pinned to Quick access)...it's a bit of a hassle and I would like to fix this if that is possible.

The other 2 computers do not (yet ;) ) have this issue. All connected machines show up when they click on Network.

I have rebooted, chosen 'forget wifi network' and set it up as a new one, made sure I am discoverable and that my PC can be connected to by the other 2, and checked these services

  • DNS Client
  • Function Discovery Resource Publication
  • SSDP Discovery
  • UPnP Device Host

are running.

Thanks in advance!

certain keys on my keyboard dont work when "cold"

Hi guys, i have a Lenovo Y520-15IKBN (80WK) and certain keys on the keyboard don't work (e,g,h,8,9,Fn...) but only when the weather is cold. for example in the winter it used to work after certain amount of time when i first boot the laptop and stops working when i stop using it for a while, but now that the weather is hot it works just fine except for the first couple of minutes or when its colder. of course i do realise that it has nothing to do with the outside weather but with the temperature of the computer itself. can someone explain to me why this is happening and how it should be fixed as i cannot take it to the tech service until july even though it's still under warranty because i need it for school. ps: an external keyboard works fine.

Old PC with a Foxconn n15235 motherboard needs drivers! Help!!

So my Pc corrupted and I had to fresh install windows on it, but now its missing 3 drivers and one of them is for the Ethernet controller! I've tried searching everywhere for the windows 7 drivers but all I seem to find are some dodgey programs saying they will install it for me. Problem is without the ethernet driver I can't bloody connect to the internet. I've been using a USB to try get some drivers on there, but they just end up being useless programmes . I'm also a bit of a noob at these things, I don't understand where to find the names of things in my PC, I've opened it up but I don't understand whats significant and what isnt. If someone has the drivers and can teach me how to install them I'd be very appreciative! Submitted April 29, 2018 at 02:47PM by darrilsteady https://ift.tt/2r76xMZ
