I have a peer-to-peer network with all windows 10 pro and one windows 7 pro workstations. I am pretty sure that prior to the windows 10 1803 update I could go to windows explorer and click on network and see all the computers in the workgroup (they are all members of the same workgroup). Now all that the workstations can see are three of the computers (all see the same three) except for one computer that I have determined is the master browser. It is able to see all the workstations. If I run a net view from the master browser it immediately lists all the computers. However if I run the net view command from any of the other workstations there is a delay and I get one of two error messages - either "system error 1231 has occurred" or "the service has not been started - see help message 2184".
I have made sure that all the workstations are on a private as opposed to public network, I have network discovery and file sharing turned on and I have turned on the windows feature SMB 1.0. I have enabled Netbios over TCP/IP. I have checked all aplloicable services and they are running.

I can ping all the computers and can access them via UNC and add a shortcut to the quick launch. I just cannot see them through explorer. I am baffled and searches show I am not the only one with this problem but I have been unable to find a resolution.

I just did a little more investigation and turned on the column for Discovery Method and see that the three computers that are visible are …

I have a handful of machines that are unable to connect to a specific database on our domain.   The SQL database uses the end users creds to authenticate.  While troubleshooting the problem I noticed that these machines all have NT Authority listed in the Domain field and have Service listed as a username when trying to re-join the machines to the domain using sysdm.cpl (System Properties control panel).   Normally (and with all the other 1,000 or so machines that are able to connect to the SQL database) these fields show logged in user as the username and our domain name in the domain field.  I'm assuming whatever is causing NT Authority to appear in the Domain field is also causing the machine to not be able to authenticate with the SQL database.   I've tried re-joining the machines back to the domain with the proper username and domain field.  However after rebooting, I'll check it again and it reverts back to Service as the username and NT Authority as the domain.   I added a couple screen shots.  Any suggestions as to what might cause this?  Thanks,

After logging in the users are getting pop recycling bin errors on their redirected folders. Like "the recyclin bin is corrupt on \\server\redirected\videos." and asked if they would like to delete the corrupted recycling bin. It keep recurring.

I had this question after viewing Unable to start workstation service.

I'm running Windows 10 Pro 1709, and cannot start the Workstation Service, When I try I receive Error 1075 "The dependency service does not exist or has been marked for deletion."

Dependencies from registry key "DependOnService" are: "bowser mrxsmb10 mrxsmb20 nsi".

Any help would surely be most appreciated.

Thank you.

If I ping my desktop (Connected via LAN cable) from laptop (Connected via Wifi) with Static IPv4 it says Destination host unreachable both computer are windows 7 and connected to the same router (D-Link 2750 U).

Windows firewall is disabled on both machine.

How can I network this two machine one connected via UTP cable (LAN) and other with Wifi ?
This image will help you to understand the network I want to make.

Single Server 2012 R2 network w/40 Win7 PC's.  All "appears to function just fine but continually getting DNS - BPA reports "DNS Servers on Ethernet should include the loopback address, but not as the first entry".

NIC is configured:
Preferred DNS Server:  192.168.16.4
Alternate DNS Server:  127.0.0.1

I've tried different combinations of these addresses.  Should I have our ISP's DNS server settings as primary?

I confess I'm no DNS expert, nor do I know anything about actively managing an IPv6 network.  I can find my way around IPv4 and basic DNS functions just fine.

Connection has  “Microsoft Network Adaptor Multiplexor Protocol” unchecked.  Unsure if this is a default setting or if done as part of earlier diagnostics.  Will follow best practices.

Unsure if it is related but all workstations on the network are Windows7 Pro.  Most of them show a yellow exclamation mark on the network icon in the task bar and “no Internet” although the Internet connection is just fine.  I disable IPv6 momentarily and the exclamation mark goes away.  I reenable IPv6 and the exclamation mark stays gone until the next reboot.

Any assistance appreciated.

hello experts
i need via command to configure my window 2008 R2 DHCP server option 121, but i got the following error so it not works, could you help on this how to do this correctly?
thank you

C:\Windows\system32>netsh dhcp server 10.137.22.36 scope 10.137.25.0 set optionvalue 121 binary -NetworkAddress 1.1.1.1 -SubnetMask 255.255.255.255 -GatewayAddress 10.137.25.254

Changed the current scope context to 10.137.25.0 scope.

DHCP Server Scope Set OptionValue failed.

Parameter(s) passed are either incomplete or invalid.

We run a small network with less than 256 devices so we use static IP addressing (IP 192.168.0.1 subnet 255.255.255.0).
We recently expanded our equipment so I changed the subnet to 255.255.254.0 on all existing servers, workstations, printers, switches, routers, etc to accommodate new workstations in the 192.168.1.? range.

Any workstation (new or old) that I change to the 192.168.1.* range has communications problems. Most notably drive mapping on logon and being accessed by remove viewing products like VNC. Each time I change a machine back to the 192.168.0.* range the problems go away.

Any direction on how to troubleshoot this issue would help !

The original IT people started using the 10.0.0.0/24 subnet. I am in the process of migrating to a new server. I set up the DHCP Server with the same scope but when I look at a workstation that received a DHCP address it is telling me the subnet mask is 255.0.0.0 which is not correct. It should be 255.255.255.0 but I can't find anywhere in the DHCP server to set the subnet mask it passes out. Can someone clue me in?

How can I make the Wi-Fi network stay connected while a laptop is plugged into the network with an Ethernet cable within Windows 10?

Some laptops on our network (mostly Microsoft Surfaces) disconnect from the Wi-Fi network whenever they are plugged into the network using an Ethernet network cable.

The Ethernet network connects the laptop to the same network and subnet that the laptops are connected to via Wi-Fi.

I need to make sure that these laptops stay connected to the Wi-Fi network whenever they are connected to the same network using an Ethernet network cable. How can this be done?

MiTech Network Scanner I use to scan networks does not show installed software on Windows 10, never worked for WIN10 but has worked for every operating system prior. What configuration on WIN10 computers do I need to make for this to work?

It's a great tool to create reports on new networks. On networks I fully manage I have RMM services.

With NetWorx you can:

    Find out and monitor how fast your Internet connection is and how much Internet traffic you consume.
    Verify whether your ISP charges your Internet usage fairly.
    Detect a suspicious network activity on your computer.
    Perform simple network tests such as ping and trace route.
    Be notified about excessive Internet usage.

Yes I can get notified but can I use the interface to block a suspicious network activity on my computer and keep that program running.
I dont want to have to find the program and shut it down completely
I want to play windows solitare but dont think that the program requires access to the intenet
