Hi there
All 3 computers running W8 enterprise X-64 BROWNBEAR, BLACKDOG, GREYFOX. Same level of updates to each machine. All 3 machines are Physical machines (not a VM for example). Same Workgroup as well -- same main username, account privilege level (admin) and password on each too.
BROWNBEAR and BLACKDOG can see all 3 machines on LAN (Local LAN).
GREYFOX can only see BROWNBEAR (and of course GREYFOX) although PING to BLACKDOG works and network drives can be connected via typing the LAN address (\\192.168.1.101\G) for example. It fails on \\BLACKDOG\G.
Re-booted and re-jigged but can't see what the difference is between GREYFOX and the rest. All the security policies etc identical.
I NEVER have this problem with Linux networking -- seems Windows Networking STILL doesn't always work OOB.
Any suggestions -- I don't want to have to connect manually via this trick as eventually I'll want to REMOTELY access these computers.
Most windows problems seem solvable but Networking always seems to throw up some stupid snag.
Cheers
