Can't view other computers on Network
- by Darkart
Systems:
My Machine: Windows 7 Ultimate connected through ethernet into router
Her Machine--Other Machine: Windows 7
Ultimate connected through wireless
Router:F5D8236-4 N Wireless Router
Version 1
Firmware: 2.01.03 (Apr 28 2009)
ISP: Comcast
Problem:
I can not view the "Other Machine" on the network at all. I opened command prompt and ran net view and saw the pc name. I tried pinging the pc and it times out. Went inside the router and tried viewing the computer on the DHCP list and it can not be seen. I restored the router back to default settings and firmware and completely reset the modem and router, and created home group. I went to the other machine to configure home group settings and made sure that both PC's had identical settings. She was able to see my machine but I could not see hers. I restarted both machines and now we cant see each other at all. Also her PC ("Other Machine") had exclamation mark in the wireless icon but was connected just fine. There is no firewalls on currently or anti-virus enabled, and still can not see each other.
Right now I am checking for updated drivers for the wireless card, but my question is could it be the router or something hardware related? I have went through all the settings in the Home group and visited most FAQ's and still no luck.
Also as it stands I can not view her machine inside the router DHCP Client List :(
