Win 7/64. Desk computer (named owner-pc) cabled to modem, laptop wirelessed. Just got a new modem. Both computers connect to the internet ok. In Windows explorer on the desk under networks I can see the desk computer and access all the shared folders. On the laptop I can't see the desktop. However, in the right hand pane under media devices the music folder of the desktop is listed and I can access my desktop music.
Also if I try to open a program on my laptop and enter the location \\owner-pc\users\docs I can read and write to a file on the desktop in my docs folder? Similarly for any shared folder on the desktop.
So the connections are there but how do I get my desktop to appear under networks on my laptop's windows explorer?
