And so the solution to the problem, unexpectedly out of the blue as they say)

It happens that problems with displaying computers in a networked environment are related to the Network Browser (Master Browser) service. This service is responsible for building and maintaining a list of active computers on the network. There can be only one active computer with the role of the main heater in the local network.

On Windows 10 1703, the Network Explorer service does not work correctly. It is recommended to completely disable this service on Windows 10 and use a Windows 7 computer as the main network browser (via the registry).

In addition, in Windows 10 1709 and higher, the SMB v1.0 protocol is disabled by default, which also disables the Computer Browser service, which, as we said, is responsible for compiling a list of computers on the network and displaying them. If you only have computers with Win 10 1709 and higher on the network (see the SMB v1 version compatibility table), in order to solve the problem, you will have to enable the SMB v1.0 protocol on at least one computer (unsafe!), which will be your main network heater (Master Browser). Installing SMB 1.0 is done by adding 3 components in the control panel.

In general, we go to the installation of components and add the SMB protocol v1.0 component

At what, as far as I understand, it is necessary to include only the SMB1.0 client, tk. on the network, the server cannot be a client, this is my personal IMHO, I didn’t check it, it worked in this case)) even more strange is that windows server server 2016 standart, all PCs on the network - windows 10 pro, SMB1.0 - purely Windows 2000 joke, I don’t understand how it happened at all ... SMB 3.1.1 - Windows Server 2016 and Windows 10

Another option could be:

In Windows 10 1803 (Spring Creators Update), the developers have removed the ability to create a home group of computers, in addition, Windows 10 computers no longer appear in the Explorer network environment when viewing network devices.

The fact is that from the point of view of Microsoft, working groups are an outdated functionality of organizing a local network for accessing shared resources and printers. Instead of using a workgroup, Microsoft suggests using its own cloud services(OneDrive, accessed via Accounts Microsoft account). In my opinion, this is unjustified.

However, in fact, in 1803, in order to access the resources of another computer on the local network, you need to know its name (\\pcname1) or ip address (in the format \\192.168.1.100), but neighboring computers are not displayed in the network environment. However, this can be corrected.

The fact is that a separate Function Discovery Resource Publication service is responsible for discovering computers on the network in Windows 10, which, after installing 1803, does not start by default (startup type changed from Automatic to Disabled). If this service is stopped, the computer is not discovered on the network by other computers. You can enable the Autodiscover service in Windows 10 1803 as follows.

1. Open the Windows Services Management Console (services.msc)
2. In the list of services, find the Function Discovery Resource Publication service. It must be disabled.
3. Change the service startup type from Manual to Automatic (Delayed Start).

here we just go to the services and turn on the necessary one, but oddly enough it didn’t help me)))
P.S. Nevertheless, in the components you need to include both the client version and the server version smb 1.0 cif, after that, in my case, the search for a PC on the network occurs in a split second)

A local network is often used for work purposes, when a user of one PC needs to quickly access a specific file or disk of another device. However, in private use, such a network is also quite useful. For example, if you have two computers or laptops, then you can transfer data via a local network, and not using removable media. It is much easier, faster and more reliable.

How to create and configure a local network in the Windows 10 operating system?

Earlier we wrote about how to create a homegroup on a PC under Windows control 10. In creating a local network, we need working group, while all the PCs that you are going to connect to the local network must have the same names. You can check the name of the working group in the following way:

• Press "Win + R" and enter "sysdm.cpl".

• The System Properties window opens. Look at the name of the group. If you need to change the name, click on the appropriate button.

After the name of the working group on all PCs is the same, perform the following steps.

• Go to the "Control Panel" and select "Network and Sharing Center" or click on the network icon on the taskbar.

• Select "Change advanced settings" from the left menu public access».

• For all Win 10 profiles, you need to enable network discovery, file and printer sharing, automatic configuration.

• Password protection can be removed so that PC users can easily connect their device via LAN.

The preparatory phase is over. As a result of the actions taken, all computers must have the same workgroup name, network discovery enabled, file and printer sharing enabled. These actions are aimed at ensuring that computers are connected to the same router. In some cases, it is required to write static IP address in the subnet in connection properties.

Now, in order to provide access to disks on a PC over a local network, you should do the following:

• We are looking for a folder that we want to make available to other users and click on it right click mouse and select "Properties".

• Go to the "Access" tab and select "Advanced settings".

• Check the "Share this folder" checkbox. Click the "Extensions" button.

• We set the access parameters to the folder: read, full access or change.

• We return to the properties of the folder. Go to the "Security" tab. Click on the "Edit" button, and in the new window - "Add". Select "All".
• We restart the computer.
• To access this folder, you need to go to "Explorer". Here, in the left menu, select "Network" or your group. Open a shared folder.

How do I change the network type from public to home or vice versa?

To change the network type or network location on Windows 10, you need to follow these steps:

• Click "Start", "Settings" and select "Network and Internet".

• If you are using a wired connection, then go to the "Ethernet" section. If the adapter is disabled, then the tab will be inactive.

• In the next window, if you want to make the network private, then drag the slider to the "Enabled" position. Thus, you will change the type of public network to home.

• If you are using a wireless wifi network, then go to the appropriate section. In the new window select " Extra options».

• In the next window, you need to drag the slider to the "Enabled" position to make the network private or to the "Disabled" position to make the network "Public".

You can also change the network type using the command line. To do this, enter the following commands in PowerShell:

• get-NetConnectionProfile
• Set-NetConnectionProfile -InterfaceIndex interface_number -NetworkCategory Public - a command for a public network, where instead of the interface number we insert "InterfaceIndex X", which we look in the results of running the first command.
• Set-NetConnectionProfile -InterfaceIndex interface_number -NetworkCategory Private – private network command.

• After restarting the computer, the network type will be changed.

How to map a network drive in Windows 10?

So that every time not to climb into network connection, once again open tabs, Win folders 10 can be thrown into the disk and simplify the speed of working with the system. A network drive is designed for this purpose. To connect it to Windows 10, follow these steps:

• In the Start menu or on the Metro tiles, look for the My Computer icon and right-click on it. Select "Map Network Drive".

• Next, in the new window, select the drive letter and specify the folder that you want to make a network drive. To do this, click "Browse" and specify the path to the folder.

• After we click "Finish". The disk is ready to use.

What to do if the PC does not see the network or it disappears?

After upgrading to Win 10, many users have encountered a number of errors related to connecting a computer via LAN. Such errors appear in the fact that the PC does not see the network, or sees computers, but does not give them access. Also, the network may disappear. What to do in this case?

If your network disappears or the PC does not see it at all, perform the following steps:

• Open Notepad.
• Enter the following characters.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

"AllowInsecureGuestAuth"=dword:00000001

• We save the file with the .reg extension.

• After making changes to the registry, we recommend that you restart your PC.

If the PC does not see the network after the registry tweak, check the connection cable, group name. It may also be that the changes made in the "Network and Sharing Center" did not take effect. To do this, you need to restart your device.

If your PC sees the network, but does not allow you to perform any actions, then you should update the network card drivers. We also recommend temporarily disabling the antivirus, as it can block other devices from accessing the local network.

What to do if Dune does not see network folders in Windows 10?

The popularity of the Dune prefix has not fallen over the years. But with the upgrade to Win 10, many users have encountered a problem where Dune sees the computer on the network, but cannot display files and folders. There is a solution to this problem.

1. In the "Control Panel", namely in the settings home group, you need to specify which folders you want to allow for sharing. You may not have specified separate folders for the Dune prefix.
2. Install the FTP data transfer protocol on your PC and share folders for Dune.
3. Disable the firewall, which can block access to the media player.
4. We carry out correct connection, namely: connect the LAN connector of the Dune player to the router, turn on the power of the player and wait up to 3 minutes until the media player receives an IP address.
5. As soon as the menu appears, select "Pop up menu". Next, select "Create a network folder".
6. Enter the parameters of your network drive or look for them in the "Network Browser" item. The network drive should be listed here.

To access folders, files, and drives on a Win 10 PC, type "ftp://ip_address" or "\\ip_address" in File Explorer ( windows explorer), where "ip_address" is the player's IP address.

How to fix error 0x80070035 when network path not found in Windows 10?

Error 0x80070035 Encountered Windows users 10 indicates that the application that is responsible for accessing the Internet cannot find the network path. That is, the network is not detected and the program crashes.

To set up a local network and get rid of error 0x80070035, you need to find out what type of host is used. For this in command line Win 10 with administrator rights, enter "ipconfig / all".

The following window will appear. Looking for node type.

If you have "Single Peer Node Type", then error 0x80070035 may occur. To fix it, go to the registry editor. To do this, press "Win + R" and enter "regedit".

Next, follow the branch "HKEY_LOKAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\NETBT\Parameters". We find and remove parameters such as "NodeTYPE" and "DhcpNodeTYPE". Reboot the PC for the changes to take effect.

Windows Explorer has been included and comes with every generation of the operating system. Windows systems and went through many changes. Windows Explorer included with Windows 10 is more than just browsing local partitions hard drive. It can be used to browse files and folders on a local or even remote network. It is one of the most important components for Windows for both regular and experienced users. Unfortunately, some users are reporting that File Explorer gets some problems when connecting to other devices in the local network. This is due to the fact that windows service, which supports this feature, causes startup problems. The name of this service fdPHost and called Function Discovery Provider Host(function provider host). It should not be confused with a similar service called Function Discovery Provider(feature discovery provider), which has similar functionality. About this service Microsoft describes it as:

The FDPHOST service hosts discovery providers network functions(FD). These FD providers provide network discovery services for the SSD protocol and Web Services - Discovery (WS-D). Terminating or disabling the FDPHOST service will disable network discovery for these protocols when using FD. When this service is not available, network services using FD and relying on these discovery protocols will not be able to find network devices or resources.

File Explorer cannot connect to other devices on the local network

First of all, you need to localize this service in a service pool. Press button combination Win+R and type services.msc to open the Service Manager in Windows 10.

Now find a service named " Discovery Provider Host" and right-click on it, then select Properties.

1. If the service is already running, then click " Stop".
2. Select startup type " Automatic (delayed start)".
3. Click " Run".
4. Apply and OK.
5. Restart your PC for the changes to take effect.

I was recently asked by a small firm to see why they had a problem after installing the Windows 10 Creators Update: On a simple network with no domains and Active Directory workgroup computers are not displayed. Everything worked fine before the update. What should I do? Users cursed the top ten, swearing at its crookedness and dampness, reinforcing this with exclamations like “But everything worked perfectly on Sermerka!”. I don’t think so, but I didn’t argue, but simply figured out everything and corrected the situation, which I will now tell you in detail.

Indeed, in the last major Creators Update, the developers went a little too far with security, which led to some problems, which, however, are relatively easy to solve.

So, we open the network environment to display the computers of the workgroup - it is empty there. We start by checking whether we have file and folder sharing enabled and how it is configured. For this we open Windows settings 10 and go to the section Network and Internet >> Status and click on the link "Sharing options":

The following window should open:

Here you need to check the boxes "Turn on network discovery", "Turn on access to files and printers" and "Allow Windows to manage homegroup connections" for your local network. We save the changes.

Then you need to open the profile "All networks":

Here you need to check the box "Enable sharing".
At the bottom of the page, pay attention to enabling and disabling password protection. For ordinary home networks, as well as in small offices, password protection is usually disabled, although this is not entirely correct from a security point of view.

If after that you still do not see the computers of the workgroup, then the network discovery option may be turned off in Windows 10.
To check this, open the "Ethernet" section in the "Network and Internet" section (if you work through wireless network- then "Wi-Fi") and click on the network icon:

Thus, the available options will open for you, among which will be "Make this computer discoverable":

Check that the switch is in the "On" position.

Note: After April windows updates 10, this item was removed in the Updates and "Security" >> "For Developers" section.

Sometimes a computer may not appear in Network Neighborhood due to issues with workgroup settings. In this case, it is recommended to re-add it there. To do this, click on the computer icon on the desktop and select the properties item from the menu. In the window that appears, you need to click on the link "Advanced system settings" in the menu on the left:

Another window will appear in which you need to click on the "Identification" button on the "Computer Name" tab. A special wizard will start. First, check the box "The computer is part of the corporate network":

Then you should check the box "My organization uses a network without domains":

Then enter the name of the working group (by default WORKGROUP) and click the "Next" button.

The work of the wizard is completed - click on the "Finish" button.

Now the computer needs to be restarted and check the operation of the network environment.

In my case, re-adding the computer to the group helped, it appeared, but I could not access it. The error "Failed to connect to the computer" occurred. As it turned out later, the network was recognized as public, which means that access from it to the PC is limited. To solve the problem, you need to change it to a private one. It is done like this. Open the network settings of Windows 10 and in the "Status" section, click on the link "Homegroup":

In the window that appears, click on the line "Change network location":

After that, on the right will appear side panel with this query:

Click on the "Yes" button. We check access to the computer from the workgroup.

Computer not visible on network after Windows update

After April windows updates 10 April 2018 Update, the problem with accessing computers over the network began to appear all the time. The reason turned out to be quite simple - Microsoft decided that teams were no longer needed and disabled this feature. To work station was visible again - do the following. Click windows keys+ R to open the Run box. Enters the services.msc command there and the operating system services management window will open:

Locate the Function Discovery Resource Publication service. After the April update, it is disabled by default. Double click on the line to open the service settings. Set the startup type to "Automatic" and run it. You will now see this PC in Network Neighborhood.

Disabling the firewall for a private network

This is one of those actions that should be resorted to when nothing else helps. The firewall is one of the main lines of defense of the operating system, and it is recommended to disable it only as a last resort.

By the way, if you use some other security system like Kaspersky, you may have to turn it off, unfortunately. But first, check the access.

Reset Windows network settings

If none of the tips listed above helped and you still do not see computers in the workgroup, then I will advise you to try resetting the Windows network settings. To do this, go to "Settings" >> "Network and Internet":

On the left in the menu, select the “Status” section and scroll the page on the right to the very end, where there should be a link “Network Reset”. We click on it.

Next, click on the "Reset Now" button. Thereafter operating system completely reinstall existing network cards and set them to default settings. Next, you will need to reconfigure the computer for your network and add it to the workgroup.

A local network allows you to establish a connection between several computers in the same room, establishing file sharing. As a result of setting up a home network, users get the opportunity to work on the same document on different computers or play games together.

LAN capabilities

Windows 10 network setup provides a number of convenient features that will be useful to users who have multiple computers at their disposal.

• Sharing files from different computers. Fast data transfer regardless of volume.
• Sharing a printer, scanner, or other network device.
• Setting up network games and entertainment.

These are the main directions, each of which contains whole line opportunities. For example, fast data transfer allows you to create backup important information, so that if one machine stops working properly, the information you need remains available from another machine.

To start using all these features, you first need to properly configure the local network in Windows 10. You can connect machines that have the same versions installed, a PC and a laptop with different Windows versions- in the interval between the "seven" and "ten" there are no restrictions on compatibility.

Network creation

The first step is to set the same workgroup name on all computers that you are going to link to the network. On Windows 10 and other versions, this is done the same way:

• Click Win+R to call the window " Run».
• Enter " sysdm.cpl" to open the system properties.

• The "" tab will appear immediately. Look at the name of the working group. To put the same name on other computers, click " Change". Use only latin letters!

Then the setting continues in " Network and Sharing Center”, which is launched through the control panel or the connection icon in the notification area. The next step is to change the advanced settings.

On Windows 10, you can still get here through the section " VPN» tab « Network and Internet» in system settings.

Here you need to enable network discovery with automatic tuning, file and device sharing, and allow the system to manage homegroup connections.

Attention: enabling network discovery and sharing without a password is required for all profiles! First you'll set up a home or work profile, then a general profile and all networks.

This operation should be repeated on all computers. As a result, the participants of the local network should have:

• One workgroup name assigned.
• Network discovery allowed.

If the home network to which the computers are connected is built on the basis of one router, then the listed actions are sufficient for the normal operation of the local network. If the computers are connected directly using a crossover cable or the DHCP service is disabled on the router, which independently distributes IP addresses to the machines, then additional configuration should be performed.

• Open " Network Control Center", then go to the " Change adapter settings».

• Select network card, in which the crossover cable is installed, and open its properties.

• Check " Use the following IP" and " Use the following DNS". Fill in the rows with the values ​​shown in the screenshot.

On the second computer, you need to add the following data:

On the different computers The IP address will be different. If you wrote 192.168.0.2 on the first machine, then the second address will be 192.168.0.3 and so on, depending on the number of network participants. The rest of the data remains unchanged.

Turn on sharing

A local network has been created, but in order to use programs and files stored on another machine from one computer, you must also set up general access for them. Windows 10 network setup this essentially ends. Let's make a shared folder with documents:

• Right click on the folder, open properties.
• Navigate to the " Access", click on the button " Advanced setup».

• Check the box " Share". Click on the button " Permissions».

• Set permissions. If you want the directory to be opened from another computer and view its contents, then check the box " Reading» in the column « allow". To grant full access, check the corresponding box. Save the configuration by clicking " OK».

Then you need to return to the folder properties and go to the " Safety". Here you should press the button " Change».

The window “ Group Permissions". Under the field Groups or Users» click « Add».

Enter your name " All” (quotes are not needed), press “ OK».

Set the same permissions as you did earlier when setting up access.

After enabling sharing, it is recommended that you restart your computer in order to Windows 10 network setup completed correctly. The next time you turn on the explorer, a section will appear " Net”, which will display the computers between which the connection is established.

Inside the directory under the name of the other computer, you will find folders that are shared.

Inside the folder will be the same documents that are stored on another computer. If you have given full access in the settings, you can safely edit them from another machine.

Sharing Internet Access

If a the local network built without a router, using a direct wired connection of computers, and one machine has Internet access and the other does not, then this is quickly fixed. The described actions are performed on the computer that has a connection to the global network.

• Click the connection icon in the notification area. Open " Control center” and proceed to change the adapter settings.

• In the list of available connections, find your WAN connection. Open its properties, right click.

• On the tab " Access» Allow other members of your home network to use this Internet connection.

Now from one computer the Internet will be distributed to other participants in the network. This will affect the speed, but when accessed with different devices through the router, the speed is also divided in proportion to the load, so this is a common practice for working together on the Internet.
