Windows 10 pro not seeing other network clients

[dieter2]

I recently upgraded an 8.1 pro to windows 10 pro but are incountering some problems.
When I look at the network places, the deveice isn't seeing most other network clients (only other windows 10 deveices and 1 or 2 windows 7 deveices) no printers, no servers or most of the other network clients,
but the network shares are connected and working.
I can ping to the other deveices but they are not visible in my network.
through the umd path I can connect to the deveices that are not visible in network places.
also It's not possible to connect to a db running on 1 of the computers.

Does anyone have some suggestions ?

Disabbeling the antivirus of firewall didn't help.

How do your settings check out in Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Network and Sharing Center\Advanced sharing settings

Good luck on that Wumpus Hunt trying to figure out where they hid all of the relevant network settings this time.

I get so tired of Microsoft rearranging the deck chairs and trying to dumb things down and making one mess after another. Windows 10 is a real PITA to administer, and its big bang updates don't help any either.

It was really hard to find. I went into google and typed

network settings windows 10

and got hundreds of links on where to go.

As you say, this is a common scenario and Win10 forums are full of users with similar and related issues.

Re-installing the IPv4 protocol seems to cure many ills.

Load the *elevated command prompt and enter netsh int ipv4 install and restart your computer.

(* Click the Start button. In the Search box, type command prompt. In the list of results, right-click Command Prompt, and then click Run as administrator.)

Best of luck.
