Hello,

Thank you for posting in Q&A forum.

Based on my understanding of this problem, I suggest you try the following steps to see if it can be solved:

1. From Start Menu, type "Control Panel" without the quotes and then press enter.
2. Click Network and Internet, and then click Network and Sharing Center.
3. Under View your active networks, make sure the network is set to Private network.
4. On the left hand pane select Change advanced sharing settings.
5. In the Advanced sharing settings dialog box, make sure that the following are set correctly:
   • Network discovery is on.
   • File and printer sharing is on.
   • Public folder sharing is on.
   • Media streaming is on.
   • Password protected sharing is off.
   • HomeGroup Connections: Allow Windows to manage homegroup connections.
