Cannot find my computer on windows 7




















I cannot find any information that points to anything that would help. Any suggestions? Any hints? Networking is my pitfall when it comes to computers I've been using them for many MANY years , and I have to say it was a pleasure having everything work so well with Windows 8, and this situation has really upset my wife.

I would like to resolve this issue ASAP. Of course, we can use sneaker-net to move files back and forth, but that is not really an optimal solution. I have just upgraded to Windows 10 and found i cannot access individual drives on my network.

Homegroup is fine. Was this reply helpful? Yes No. Sorry this didn't help. Thanks for your feedback. For some reason Win 10 does not like your own worded workgroup name.

I have 5 computers in my household and upgraded all of them to Win 10 and the network including individual drives are all exchanging data OK now.

The Windows 7 search only works if you are connected to the network you are searching and yes it is much less configurable than the old simple search. And VPN client connections are not always seen as local network. If the computer, you are searching for, is part of AD there is the search in AD search function available. Thanks for your answer. My home computer is not in the work AD only in my home network.

I am living on an island of my own in the archipelago of Stockholm. I have never had any problems with it during several years of using XP and it still works terrific with XP both x32 and x64, I only use the XP search for computers on the network type in the name and click search and about seconds later it pops up. Unfortunately our customers are starting to use Win7 and we develop software so in order to be able to support our customers I must get used to Win7.

If it was only for my use I would never consider to go from XP to 7, what would the purpose of that be. The only thing I so far have got by using 7 is. XP with a messed up graphic interface Not able to work from home Endless hours of clicking through pointless "graphic artifacts" only to find the XP att the bottom An almost none usable Windows explorer that keeps shrinking folders by itself all the time Application windows that turns fullscreen by itself when you want to move them Not possible to play bougth DVD movies due to some "graphic card security thing".

Hi Wolfgang Thanks for your answer. The only thing I so far have got by using 7 is XP with a messed up graphic interface Not able to work from home Endless hours of clicking through pointless "graphic artifacts" only to find the XP att the bottom An almost none usable Windows explorer that keeps shrinking folders by itself all the time Application windows that turns fullscreen by itself when you want to move them Not possible to play bougth DVD movies due to some "graphic card security thing" So far I have only seen three good things with 7 It is faster than VISTA but what is not and it is almost as fast as XP comparising on the same PC You can set it to classic and get almost XP back.

Still I am a Windows fan. I can't say, that I dislike Win7. The graphical interface does not hurt me, but my Workstation is a quite decent HP Z, so handles graphics without any major issues.

Your explorer problem I do not see but before I had quite annoying explorer hangs on drives mapped to non MS servers. Same for application windows. DVD movies I don't play, so no real experiences there. I am now running on one Win7 bit host vmware guests simultaneously, without major performance hits.

Before I used XP bit, which unfortunately had very little HW and software support, so Win7 is a real improvement for me.

Of course there are still several things, which can only be done in WinXP bit, but for these I just use a virtual machine. Good news I think I have solved my problem with hooking up with my work servers over a VPN connection when using Win7 x I am not exactly sure about what i did but now i can search for them and find them. I enabled it and it responded with something like "It could not be done because the server did not have a homepage" There were my Links to the servers.

Where are "My NetHood" that I just created?
