Hi There,<br />
<br />
I have a windows 2003 server with domain setup and I mostly windows 7 pcs connected to it. &nbsp;For some reason about a month ago I would go to my network list of computers and instead of showing all 12 systems plus the server all I can see are 6 of them and no server. &nbsp;Whats odd is i can still access the server no problem but network discovery isn't showing them. &nbsp;Does anyone know why this is and what i can do to fix it? &nbsp;I have already tried to turn off network discovery and turn it back on. &nbsp;I have tried to reboot my pc and the server. &nbsp;I am next going to try to reboot the network switches. &nbsp;Is there something in windows itself that isn't letting me detect all system and my server? &nbsp;Can i refresh this list? &nbsp;I have antivirus disabled and firewall as well just to eliminate that as a potential issue. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
Thank you<br />
<br />

Hi There,

I have a windows 2003 server with domain setup and I mostly windows 7 pcs connected to it.  For some reason about a month ago I would go to my network list of computers and instead of showing all 12 systems plus the server all I can see are 6 of them and no server.  Whats odd is i can still access the server no problem but network discovery isn't showing them.  Does anyone know why this is and what i can do to fix it?  I have already tried to turn off network discovery and turn it back on.  I have tried to reboot my pc and the server.  I am next going to try to reboot the network switches.  Is there something in windows itself that isn't letting me detect all system and my server?  Can i refresh this list?  I have antivirus disabled and firewall as well just to eliminate that as a potential issue.

Why do some networked computers show up but others don't in network discovery on windows 7?

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.

Networking

Windows 7 is an operating system from Microsoft. Features include multi-touch support, a redesigned Windows Shell with a new taskbar, referred to as the Superbar, a home networking system called HomeGroup, and performance improvements.

Windows 7

The Windows operating systems have distinct methodologies for designing and implementing networks, and have specific systems to accomplish various networking processes, such as Exchange for email, Sharepoint for shared files and programs, and IIS for delivery of web pages. Microsoft also produces server technologies for networked database use, security and virtualization.

Windows Networking

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
