My network was working fine until I did the 8.1 upgrade.
Now my 8.1 machine can see and access the other computers (both win 7). Both win 7 machines can see my 8.1 machine but when I try to access the 8.1 machine from them I get “Windows cannot access \\XPS8500 Check the spelling of the name. Otherwise, there might be a problem with your network. To try to identify and resolve network problems, click Diagnose.”
When I click Diagnose I get “Windows can’t find “XPS8500”. If the computer or device you are trying to reach is nearby, make sure it is turned on and connected to the network. Otherwise contact your network administrator for assistance.”
When I click next it says “Windows can't find a computer or device named “XPS8500”.
The computer is turned on and can access shared folders on the other two win 7 computers.
