Hello,
First of all a short summary of my network:
- Connected computers in total 6, two of them Windows 7 Enterprise x64 (one Ethernet, one Wi-Fi), two of them Windows 8 Enterprise x64 (both Ethernet), one Windows 8.1 x86 (Wi-Fi)
- One of the Win7 Enterprise systems is connected by Wi-Fi
- The Windows 8.1 system is connected by Wi-Fi
- All systems have fixed IP addresses within the same range
- All systems have the same HomeGroup, the same complete sharing definition
The problem:
- Only the Windows 8.1 system cannot add the main printer connected to a Windows 8 Enterprise x64 system
- The reason seems to be pretty clear, because the operating systems adds a "Microsoft WiFi Direct Virtual Adapter" to the available network definitions and assigns a "Undefined" and "Public Network" and shows "no network access"
- The Wi-Fi connection is fine and shows "Internet"
- I also can connect to the computer from all other systems just fine
Question:
- What can I do to "convince" this system to connect the WiFi Direct Virtual Adapter to the network? I'm sure that I will be able to add the printer then
Ideas?
Thanks in advance for your efforts
