The results of the nbtstat -n command are normal, these are all for your computer and workgroup.  Do you see the unwanted network computers in the output of the nbtstat -r command?

I can't log on to these computers listed. They came from outside of my computer and I have no idea who or what they are. I need to remove them from my computer instead.

I think they came though the wireless modem that is OPEN to all. And for awhile, I had not firewall or protection to my computer for about a week until I realized they both were not running. Now I have these 2 computers listed and need something to help REMOVE them from my computer.

When I click on each one, they ask me to log in and I have no idea what the username or password is that they use.

Okay, I clicked on Turn on network discovery and saved changes, accepted the admin prompt and it took me back. 

Now I click on Advanced sharing center again and the option I just changed is back to OFF. No changes made. I did it again and the same results happen. So how is it not working for me to keep the option I had picked to change? It is not making the changes you have described above. Any idea what I can do next?
