I can't get my old laptop on my home network to be visible to my new desktop pc

I have a new HP Pavilion P6-2120 Tower and cannot do 'see' my old laptop on my home network.

Hi Pauol,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community.

I see that you are unable to see the computer on your home network.

Quick questions:

  1. If it works well before?
  2. How many computers are connected to the network?
  3. What operating system is installed on the "old" laptop?

Try these steps and check whether you can see the old laptop on the home network.

Step 1:
