Default windows shares

What am I doing wrong that I can see my network share at home only if I
type in the ip address?

I have two windows computers on my home network over wifi.
Both have public shares.

I can access the public shares over wifi if I type \\192.168.0.5\share but
I can't browse to "see" that share.

Since the ip address changes over time I could set it to a static ip
address but why can't windows just browse to one share from another share
when the ip address changes?

Why can't I see my public shares without having to know the ip address?

You can begin with

Start : Run : "control"

Control Panels : Programs and Features : Windows Features

Look for the SMBV1 client and SMBV1 server and
tick the boxes.

That will cause support for WinXP to be enabled.

https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/...a-116696b20743

[ Start : Run : services.msc ]

"Push Win Key and type "Services", locate these services.

- Function Discovery Provider Host

- Function Discovery Resource Publication

- SSDP Discovery
- UPnP Device Host
"

I think the FDRP one might help label stuff for
other than WinXP. If you are a regular visitor to
the BlackViper site and ascribe to their religion,
you might have turned something like that off.

HomeGroup depended on seven services plus IPV6 to work.
But with HomeGroup deprecated and not supported in
the latest Windows 10 releases, at least some of the
seven services still have their uses, so you can't
kill all of them.

There are a *ton* of nameserving services, even third
party ones like Bonjour... but not many of them help
file sharing work.

Good luck (luck is always required with SMB/CIFS),

Thank you. That worked.
I couldn't tell from your response which computer to do it to.
I was lucky that I picked the right computer to change.

If we name the computer with the shared files "localcomputer".
And if we name the computer trying to browse to it "remotecomputer".

This is what I did.
On localcomputer I changed nothing (the share was already set to shared).
On remotecomputer Start : Run : control : Control Panel : Programs :
Programs and Features : Turn Windows features on or off :
All these were originally turned off so I turned them all on
Turn Windows features on or off :SMB 1.0/CIFS File Sharing Support
Turn Windows features on or off : SMB 1.0/CIFS Automatic Removal
Turn Windows features on or off : SMB 1.0/CIFS Client
Turn Windows features on or off : SMB 1.0/CIFS Server
Turn Windows features on or off : SMB 1.0/CIFS

This was already on so I left it on.
Turn Windows features on or off : SMB Direct

On remotecomputer Start : Run : services.msc
This is what I had before changing all to "Automatic" and "Start".

Function Discovery Provider Host : Running : Manual : Local Service
Function Discovery Resource Publication : Running : Mannual (Trigger Start) : Local Service
SSDP Discovery : Running : Manual : Local Service
UPnP Device Host : notrunning : Manual : Local Service

I set all four to "Automatic" and "Start" and then rebooted the computer.
When the computer came back I went to "This PC" and then in the lower
open space for Network locations I clicked right to "add a network location"
and selected next twice and then selected "Browse..." which for the first
time showed the remote (and local) computer in the "Select the network folder"
form.

thanks for all that nice luck! )
