Can't see local computers in network neighborhood anymore

Hello,
I bought a WRT610N on Friday to replace my WRT54G and while it is running great I have a small issue.
If I go to browse my local network, I don't see a list of computers like I used to with the WRT54G
If I type \\computername then I can access the shares on each computer as well as be able to \\computername\c$
I can ping all of them and yes all of them are on the same workgroup as well as the router itself.
What setting I need disabled in the router so I can "see" my computers in network neighborhood
Thanks

Are you able to access the computer using the ip address of that particular computer....? Try that and check if you can access the computer using the ip address instead of the name.

Canon MX860 Can't See My Computers On Network

Hi All,
I recently updated to Snow Leopard and all updates have been installed as of 11-16-09. I have a Canon MX860 connected wirelessly to local network. I can print from the computers, but when I try scanning over the network from the Canon, it is not seeing the computers with snow leopard??? Any ideas. Thanks.
Cheers,
ScKaSx

Hello ScKaSx and welcome to Apple Discussions.
When you say that the Canon cannot see the SL Mac's, do you mean you are trying to send the document to the Mac by pressing the Scan button on the MX860?
If so, then you need to ensure that you have the correct version of MP Navigator, Canon IJ Network Tool and MP Navigator Opener installed.
If this is not what you mean, then could you give some more information.

Can't see other computers on network through wireless/wired OK

Our wireless clients that connect through our AP541N cannot see other computers on the network. They can ping other computers by IP and host name and access the internet OK. Mapped network drives can be connected initially but are very unreliable and always end up disconnecting. Restarting the computer does not help. When these computers are wired they see the network as expected. Does anyone know why my wireless network would behave differently then the wired? The wired and wireless networks are on the same VLAN. The wireless clients are all Windows 7 systems. Thanks.

Hi Andy,
Thank you for posting. Go to Wireless Network Setup (VAPs) and see if Station Isolation is enabled for the SSID in question. From the Help menu:
When Station Isolation is disabled, wireless clients can communicate with one another normally by sending traffic through the AP.
When Station Isolation is enabled, the AP blocks communication between wireless clients on the same VAP. The AP still allows data traffic between its wireless clients and wired devices on the network, across a WDS link, and with other wireless clients associated with a different VAP.

Wireless Router can't see other computers on network

I have a home network set up as follows:
Cable modem connected to a VOIP modem then it is connected to a 8 port switch.
I have 2 computers and a Linksys wireless router connected to the switch.
The 2 computers can see each other on the network.
When I connect to the wireless router I can access the internet but cannot see the other two computers on the network.
When I connect to the switch via a wire I can see the network.
Is the wireless router blocking my access to the network?
What can I do to be able to see the network through the wireless router?
Thanks,
Jethro

WIFI on 2504. Users can't see any computers in "My network places".

Hello. I'm using 2504 CISCO controller and three AIR-CAP2602I-R-K9 access points. So I organized simple WIFI network with AES encryption. Users can easily connect to the proper SSID and after put a login have Internet access.But they just can't see any computers or shared folders on servers in "My Network Places". If I connect any workstation by wire I haven't this problem. So the issue appears only during WIFI access to the LAN.
Please advise, what can I change in 2504 settings.
Thank you.

The WLC doesn't block this unless P2P blocking is enabled. The easiest way to test is to create an open SSID and map that WLAN to an existing wired Vlan. Doesn't tweak the WLAN except for making it wide open. Them associate your wireless client to that new SSID and see if they see the resources.
That is the configuration I was telling you about that you had a screen shot of. As long as that is disabled, you should be able to see the resources.

MacBook can't see my home wireless network after upgrade to OSX 10.8.5

After upgrading to OSX 10.8.5, my MacBook does not detect any wireless nertworks. My iPad and iPhone work fine, my router has been rebooted, WiFi is turned on, and the ethernet connection is how I am writing this message to you via broadband. There are a half dozen wireless networks in range (according to my iPhone) but the MacBook cannot find the router I am sitting next to. Any ideas on how to correct this issue?

It appears an SMC reset was required:
HT5815 I've just done the 10.8.5 update on my MacBook Pro end of 2008, and WiFi don't work after reboot... Impossible to activate it...
Here is your other post: MacBook can't see my home wireless network after upgrade to OSX 10.8.5
If you reply to it and marked it "solved", perhaps with a link to that post (copy and paste it, or just say you performed the SMC reset) it will help others find a solution. Thanks!

How can I see which computers (computer name) Creative Cloud is installed on?

How can I see which computers (computer name) Creative Cloud is installed on?

Hi Arno ten Hagen,
To check for activation you need to go to all the machines in which you have installed CC apps, launch any of the CC software, go to help and you will see the email address mentioned by which you are logged in to that machine.

HT2688 How can I see what computers are authorized to share?

How can I see what computers are authorized to share? My e-mail address changed and I need to make sure one of my authorized computers is not my old address. In itunes.

In order to see which devices are authorized on your account:
Open iTunes
Click Store
Click Account
Click View Account
Enter your password
Look in the second section iTunes in the Cloud
To the far right you'll see Manage Devices
Once it's clicked you will see all of the devices currently authorized in iTunes/on your account
I was going to say, "Hope this helps," but based on the above, I'm pretty sure it did!
Thanks guys...

Hi folks, you might know how to fix this: my wifi shows (no hardware installed) then I went to system preferences and deleted the wifi connection, I went also to system information and I can not see wifi listed on Network, how can I create a new wifi ?

Hi folks, you might know how to fix this: my wifi shows (no hardware installed) then I went to system preferences and deleted the wifi connection, I went also to system information and I can not see wifi listed on Network, how can I create a new wifi or simply solve this, I have tryied shotdown pressing keys like P and R, option, etc. Please help me .

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

IMac can not see Windows machine on network

Hi guys,
Before the AirPort Extreme Update 2007-02, my iMac can connect and share with my Windows machine. However, after installing the AirPort Extreme Update 2007-02, my iMac can not see my Windows machine work-group anymore. How to fix this problem ?
Im using 20' iMac running on Mac OS X 10.4.8
Please help.

If reinstalling the current update doesn't work, perhaps that is because the update was completed properly, but in the process has messed up configuration settings files and preferences. If you can't find any problems in your settings through System Preferences, then there are probably hidden errors in the .plist files and the way to correct that is by manually wiping out all your network settings files and redoing everything in Network preferences may be a quicker fix than brain surgery. Try deleting these files, then reboot and redo your network settings appropriately..
These are all in the folder /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration:
com.apple.airport.preferences.plist
com.apple.nat.plist
NetworkInterfaces.plist
preferences.plist
Note, this will wipe out all network-related settings, and force the OS to rebuild default preference settings files for the built-in network devices. This is sometimes the only thing that will clear up bizarre networking issues, but generally speaking, it works well.. just don't forget to thoroughly note all your proper network settings including wireless network passwords and all that before you perform this house cleaning for reference as a precaution.

Can't see other computers using Westell Versalink 327

The computers wired to the router can't see the computers connected via WiFi and vice-versa. It is possible to mount a shared folder as a drive in either direction, but the shares don't show up in Windows Explorer. I think this is because the router separates the wifi and wired connections somehow. Anyone figure out how to get around this?

I was already able to see shared folders by mounting them as drives. I wasn't able to see shared folders in Windows Explorer. But I have figured out how, finally. I found I had to log in from the wi-fi connected machines to the ethernet-connected machine. So it doesn't seem that the problem was some kind of separation of the two kinds of connections by the router.

Can't see local network

I have 3 computers networked together. One is plugged directly into the router, the other two use wireless cards to connect. The computer I use most is one with a wireless connection. Sometimes my computer doesn't see my network. I know the router card works, because at those times I can see other wireless networks in my neighborhood, I just can't see the one in my own house. During those times my son's computer, which is about 3 feet away, sees and connects to the local network just fine, so I know the router is working. When I can see my local network, the signal is strong, so I don't think it has anything to do with signal strength. I'm stumped. When the problem occurs I've tried rebooting my computer, but that doesn't make a difference.

Hi…….
Well in this case what you do is from your hardwired PC log into the setup page of the router with http://192.168.1.1 username leave blank and the password is admin.
Under the wireless tab change the channel to 11. And under advanced wireless settings lower the Beacon to 75 > Fragmentation Threshold to 2304 and the RTS Threshold to 2307. And then you can check the connection with your wireless PC
Also try to reinstall the wireless card in your Pc once.

Can't see the Computers on the Windows Workgroup

Hi there,
Having troubles trying to set up printing from a Mac to a printer on the Windows network at work. The problem appears to be a network related one, so I've posted here.
To explain, I'm running a small office network through a router and have a shared HP Deskjet Printer connected directly to a Win XP computer that is on the network. The network is set to the Win default MSHome, which I've also set my Mac to under directory access (WINS Server field is blank).
I then did the following
http://www.ifelix.co.uk/tech/3002.html
After that I tried to implement the steps as per the ifelix site below
http://www.ifelix.co.uk/tech/3015.html
But half way through this process I get stuck. In the printer utility, when I go to the Windows Printing and then choose the MSHome workgroup only my Mac appears under the workgroup. None of the 4 networked Windows XP computers appear under the workgroup despite the fact that they are all shared and can all be seen by one another. (The Windows computers can also see my Mac)
What can I do to see the Windows machines? Any assistance appreciated?
Regards,
BB

Thanks again,
I tried to add the printer manually as per the apple doc @
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3049
However, the instructions below didn't work
+Mac OS X 10.3 through 10.4.11+
+1. Open Printer Setup Utility (located in /Applications/Utilities).+
+2. Mac OS X 10.4.x: Choose Add Printer from the Printers menu, then hold the Option key while clicking the "More Printers" button. +
+Mac OS X 10.3.x: Hold the Option key while choosing Add Printer from the Printers menu.+
+3. Choose Advanced from the first pop-up menu.+
When I option click on the "More Printers" button no pop-up menu appears and I can't select advanced. Even tried right clicking with a mouse, but to no avail!
I'll have a look at some of the other options.

XP/Pro box doesn't see other computers on network after running CiscoConnect on it

Got a new E4200 on September 13 to provide internet and networking to a small business network.
There are 2 wired computers, one an XP/pro and the other a Win 7/64 bit. Both worked straight out of the box in that both had access to each others' files after plugging them into the E4200. Two other wireless computers were connected using CiscoConnect, one a Vista and the other a Win 7, and all was fine. All computers were able to see each others' file. Also managed to get a wireless Canon printer working even though CiscoConnect wasn't able to find it.
After I realized I didn't run CiscoConnect on the XP, I did so using the USB key created on the Win7 box and the result was that the XP box doesn't see any of the other computers although all the other computers can see the XP files. After uninstalling CiscoConnect on the XP and rebooting, the XP can't access the other computer files but it can still access the internet and the wireless Canon printer that CiscoConnect can't find. Rebooting or powering off/on the router didn't change this state.
Would appreciate any ideas in getting the XP back into the network.
Firmware Version:
1.0.02 build 13 May 24, 2011

Update on above problem:
Performed a System Restore on the XP and partial networking functionality was restored. The XP box now sees the Vista and the XP Explorer can see all computers under the Workgroup. Probing the Win 7 computers from XP's explorer the XP returns the following: message
\\Win7a is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resourc. Contact the a...
This message doesn't mean much to me as I have limited networking experience but somebody here might understand this clue.
