Windows 7 Workgroup Cannot see other clients in Workgroup.
Hi fellow techies
I have multiple windows 7 sp1 machines setup in a workgroup. I have network discovery on for all the machines also file and printsharing is on. I have the workgroup
at the default of workgroup and the machines are all setup DHCP. of course they can all ping one another and the ip's assigned are class c in the same range of 192.168.1.xxx. Not one of the machines can see the other on the network. If anyone has any idea
what is causing this please share that insight with me.
Thank you

What type of network are your networks connections set to. It should be
"Work Network" in your case. Try to disable the firewall on all devices
and see if that helps.
Can you reach each other PC if you type it's address manually?
