Have Divco PVR with wifi, and win 8 cannot access it easily, my old win 7 laptop can find it all the time no problems, and can see the win 8 laptop and the win 8 can see the win 7 laptop. Originally the win 8 machine could only ping the PVR using the IP address, but ping by name fails. I followed the advice about changing Network Security LAN Manager authentication level etc. plus in Ethernet properties I un-ticked Microsoft LLDP Protocol Driver to make it the same as win 7. After all these I managed to get it to see the PVR when I typed in the IP address in the address bar in explorer at the Network page. I then mapped the folder, which is working, but this is a rather clunky solution. Question why can't win 8 just find the PVR like win 7.

Thank you
