Upgrade to Microsoft Edge to take advantage of the latest features, security updates, and technical support.
I have windows 10 - updated with the latest software.
Network adapter drivers are the latest.
I am connected via eithernet or Wifi and have the SAME issue.
I enabled the settings to allow network discovery and to be seen on the network for private networks.
Both Wifi and Ethernet are private newtorks and say that in the status.
I have 3 computers connected. All are windows 10.
On each PC I see the same 2.
On the PC that I cannot see on the network I can only see the other 2 and I cannot see myself.
Why am I not able to see myself on the network? If I solve that I will surely be able to be seen by the other 2 PC in the netwotk.
Thanks

I could see other computers on my network, but couldn't see my own, nor could they see me.
This worked for me. It's the 5th website suggested by Greg Carmack.
I struggled with this for two days and finally found a solution. I have 3 computers on a network; 2 running Windows 7, 1 running Windows 10. This solution assumes you're ok using password protected sharing.
On the Windows 7 systems:
- Leave the HomeGroup (Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network and Sharing Center > HomeGroup > Leave HomeGroup)
- Set the network location to Work network, not Home or Public (Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network and Sharing Center > Under View your active network, make sure this option says "Work network")
- Don't allow Windows to manage homegroup connections (Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network and Sharing Center > Change advanced sharing settings > Under the Home or Work (current profile) option, set the HomeGroup connections option to Use user accounts and passwords to connect to other computers
Once I changed the setting in step 3 above, Boom!, all computers could be seen and accessed from every other computer. Good luck everyone. Networking with Windows systems could be greatly simplified.
All of our computers are using Windows 10 so there is no HomeGroup. Don't understand why it is so difficult to connect.

Yup. You were exactly right on both accounts.
Accessing my other PC using the ipaddress worked and pinning it to Start is actually better for me than going through WE.
You were also right about Greg Carmack's "help". Doesn't matter how much experience he has, chasing a bunch of scattershot links was an unbelievably huge waste of time for such a straightforward problem!
