Network Sharing Not Showing a Specific Computer

Anonymous

I have 2 Windows 10 computers on the same (private) network. I have them both set to share. From computer 1, in file explorer, I can see and access computer 2 (under Network), but from computer 2 I can neither see nor access computer 1. How can I fix this? From computer 2, I ran the Shared Folder Troubleshooter in Settings>Update & Security>Troubleshoot, but it said it couldn't find an issue. I don't know what else to try. Would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks.

    Where do I do that? I have this 

    And, in folder properties, I have 

    Both computers have the same settings as shown above. Shelquis6 (shown) is the one that doesn't show on the Network in File Explorer. Is there some other setting I should check?

    Both are Windows Home, Vers 1709, build 16299.192. 

    Computer 1 (which doesn't show up on the Network) was Windows 10 as purchased.

    Computer 2 (which is accessible from 1) was originally Windows 7 Home Premium.

    Yes, computer 2 already had Everyone with Full Permission. Now 1 and 2 are identically set (I think). I just compared them item for item and don't see any differences except the path name for the computer 2 share is different, otherwise identical.

    Is this correct? (Both computers are the same.)

    Minor change has occurred. Now I can see computer 1 in computer 1 file explorer under Network, but I still can't see it from computer 2.

    Did you enable Public folder sharing?
