Check settings of ur antivirus program; especially if it has a firewall.
My problem got fixed after I changed settings of Zonealarm firewall installed on my Laptop.

Upgrade to Microsoft Edge to take advantage of the latest features, security updates, and technical support.
I have a laptop that is not seen on my network. I have tried everything to see it from the other computers in the same Workgroup. I have turned off the firewall. and uninstalled Norton Internet security 2010. All my other computers do not have this problem. Everything is Windows 7 pro. I am to a point now where I am going to reinstall Windows on the laptop and start from scratch. Unless someone has a sugesstion. here is some of what I have done:
made sure everyone is in the same Workgroup
Network discovery is on
I can ping everyone from both sides - laptop to PC's and PC's to laptop
I can see homegroups and computers but cannot access them, again from either direction.
Other laptops in the network do not have this problem.
I upgraded the problem PC to windows 7 and that's when the problem started.
