I have a similar problem asked by Chuck about 2 years ago: my configuration is a small home network with two W7, a W10 desktop and a Zyxel NAS (linux) the situation is

  • W10 sees all other three boxes' shares
  • both two W7 see each other and the NAS but not the W10 shares The message is the same as Chuck's one: the box is seen just the shared folders not.
  • Now the strange thing: I've tried to create a network drive on a W7 box using the IP address of the W10 instead of the server name - and it worked! Successfully mapped to the Z: drive.It seems for me that the name resolution is wrong somehow - what can i do?

  • using the IP address of the W10 instead of the server name - ........ Use local HOSTS files to resolve computer names. c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc

  • In Services both Workstation and Server must be running for names, rather than IP addresses, to work.

  • - The hosts file already contains the IP-address-name pair - without solving the issue - because my local network is a workgroup I haven't see the workstation/server situation
