Cannot see MY computer in the network but can see others.

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:

1. Leave the HomeGroup (Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network and Sharing Center > HomeGroup > Leave HomeGroup)
2. 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")
3. 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.

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.

1. Access the Windows 10 Run dialog box via the Start Menu/Windows System/Run option or by pressing the Win + R keys on the keyboard.   Note: One can skip Step 1 and 2 and proceed to Step 3 if accessing the Services settings via search(Cllick/Tap the Windows Start Menu icon and enter ‘Services’  then click or tap on Services(Dekstop app)
2. If using the Run dialog box – enter services.msc in the Run dialog box then press Return to load the Services dialog box window
3. Scroll down in the Services window and select and double click/tap on ‘Function Discovery Resource Publication’ item(aka FDResPub) to access the service’s properties
4. Change the ‘Startup type’ field entry from ‘Manual’ to ‘Automatic’ or ‘Automatic Delayed Start’
5. In the same properties dialog box ‘Service status’ section click on Start (to start the FDResPub service) – see pic below
6. Once the status indicator shows ‘Running’ Click ‘OK’ to close the Properties dialog box
7. Repeat Step 3 through 6 for the item called ‘Function Discovery Provider Host’  (See Footnote [A])
8. Close the Services window.  Close all open windows and Restart the device.

In the control panel, click on the arrow at the end...click all control panel items...Presto.
