Hi all

 

I am afraid that I have been rather quiet since being made redundant at the
end of February but I am now having a problem with "Network" in File
Explorer.  This is the setup:

 

Virgin Hub 3 connected via cable to

  DesktopPC, Laptop, US robotics Mini NAS adapter and Netgear Powerline
adapter

 

I have an external drive (STORAGE-0001) connected via USB to the NAS
adapter.

 

On both the desktop and the laptop Network in File Explorer shows

 

Media Devices(1)

Sorage-0001 which when opened shows the NAS manager in a browser window/tab

 

Network Infrastructure (1)

  ARRIS TG2492LG-85 Router which when opened shows the Hub 3 settings in a
browser window/tab

  

On the Desktop, Network in File Manager shows Computers (3)

  DesktopPC

  Laptop

  Storage-001 (which when opened shows the shared Public folder on the
external drive)

 

However, on the Laptop, Network in File Manager shows Computers (1) which is
the laptop itself and when opened shows its shared folder(s).

DesktopPC and Storage-0001 are not shown but can be opened by typing their
network names (\\ DesktopPC and \\Storage-0001 <file://Storage-0001> ) into
the Explorer address bar.

 

After searching and trying all manner of suggestions I am still unable to
resolve the issue (I am not even sure whether changes are required on the
laptop or the desktop or both). I can provide further information if needed.

 

Any help or suggestions would be highly appreciated.  Many thanks, and
apologies for the length of the message

 

Paul Newton
