Posted August 3, 2018 I'm trying to access other computer in windows so I can transfer files. I don't see other computers in the windows explorer but I do see my network printer. Also, I can ping the other computer succesfully. So yeah I don't know what to do now. Also turned off my Kaspersky anti virus has maybe it had some kind of firewall but no success. So the only thing I can think of is that my windows is not activated. Could this be the reason why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AFAIK Windows doesnt need to activated at all, you just wont be able to turn off the creepy spy features and adjust certain settings. you also get a disgusting watermark after a certain ammount of uptime.

From the laptop I can see my dad's computer but from it I don't see mine. And from mine I don't see neither. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok now from the laptop i see the computer and can create a file on it but from the desktop don't see nothing. Not sure if related but before noticing it I did a /flushdns and /restartdns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted August 4, 2018 Set a static DHCP on your router and just use computer IP, instead of using window discovery feature. Magical Pineapples
