The computers on the LAN has disappeared from the Explorer on Win7 machine... other devices always there

Small inter-office network with 7 machines, no server. Two other XP, WIN7 machines. All have already appeared on my workstation running WIN7-65. Today, I noticed that only the share on my workstation presents in the in Windows Explorer. Printers, scanner, fax, always there.

I can connect through ftp, http and e-mail address of the computer that holds these programs and can ping all the machines successfully. But mounted network drives does not connect and, as I said, none of the other computers show in Explorer.

I had problems with Windows Virtual PC - would install not the integration features. So I deleted and reinstalled. Then it loads the integration... features for a few days... now won't again. I also installed VMware with XP virtual PC. I disabled virtual machine network maps to see if there was any change. No change.

I don't know when the computers on the LAN disappeared, because I had no reason to seek. I discovered that they were gone when a backup program could not set up a share on one of them.

Anyone has any ideas, what can happen?

Hello

I suggest that you enable network discovery. Click on start-> Control Panel-> network and sharing Center, click on change settings for sharing advanced. Activate the option.

If the problem persists, try to access another computer by entering \\computername in the box to start the search. Let us know if it works properly

See you soon,.

  • T500: ATI GPU has disappeared from the Device Manager!

    Hello! I've recently updated my T500 and realized that my ATI GPU has disappeared from my list of display adapter in Device Manager and my system tray. Instead the intel GMA appears. I downloaded the switchable graphics driver on the Lenovo site and ran the ATI configuration all found in C:\DRIVERS\WIN\VIDEO, but he did nothing to solve this problem. I am running Windows Vista x 64. I hope someone here can help me with this problem.

    Thank you!

    It is CORRECTED! After much head shining all day I finally found my own solution to my problem. Installed an ATI driver updated the using the Mobility Modder with permission from people to kind to Driver Heaven! Reinstalled the switchable graphics driver of Lenovo, now my machine seems to work better now before the problem occurred. In fact, click on the switchable graphics option that wasn't available on my right (and I had not noticed either) is now available and ready! A whole day trying to figure this out finally paid off! My problem is solved by me!

  • My firefox has disappeared from my computer. I tried to reinstall, but it won't work. How can I reinstall the program?

    The program has disappeared from my program list. The only thing he is an empty folder of Mozilla. I tried to re install several times but can not get fire fox for running or even provide an icon to launch it.

    It is possible that your security (firewall, antivirus) software blocks or limit Firefox or the process of plugin-container without you inform, possibly after the detection of changes (update) for the Firefox program.

    Delete all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container in the permissions list in the firewall and leave your firewall again ask permission get full and unrestricted, access to the internet for Firefox and the plugin-container and the update process.

    See:

    Start the computer in Mode safe mode with network support Windows (on the startup screen, press F8) as a test to see if this will install Firefox properly.

  • The address bar has disappeared from the top of a tab object that I opened. How can I get it back?

    The address bar has disappeared from the top of any tab, I opened, so there is nowhere to enter a web address. Could I have accidentally made it happen? How can I get that back?

    Just to be clear, it is not on the tab bar is? (It's the new style in Firefox 4 and 5).

    To show or hide the toolbars, you can use the old view menu.

    If you have the orange Firefox button, press the Alt key to temporarily show the classic menu bar.

    Menu view > toolbars > check the Navigation bar

    If you view the navigation toolbar, but it is incomplete or damaged, you can reset your toolbars.

    Menu view > toolbars > customize

    In the great dialog box with the icons, to the bottom, click on restore by default.

    Does this help?

  • Volume shortcut icon has disappeared from the Vista tray

    Volume shortcut icon has disappeared from my status bar at the bottom of the screen... How do I get it back?
    Seems silly, but I can't find it!

    Hello

    Have you checked the settings in the taskbar and Start Menu Properties?
    There should be a tab named Notification area.

    In this tab, you find an option; Hide inactive icons.
    You can turn off (disable) this device or you can customize it.
    In addition, you can choose which icons should be available and shows even the Hide inactive icons option would be activated.

    In some cases, these options may be grayed out
    In this case, you will need to find a registry key:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion \TrayNotify

    and here you have to delete the keys: + IconStreams + and + PastIconStream +.
