I'm not sure we're on the same page here. When I open Finder on the
Mac, and select network, the Windows computers show up. I can deal with
files in, around, up, down, to and fro, put them where ever I want them.

But... When I open Windows/File Explorer, the Mac doesn't even show
under network. I did get the Mac to show on W10 when I enabled SMB1. W7
won't even show W10. :-( W7 has other faults, such as the indexing
service won't turn on, so an OS clean install is on the to do list.

"I appear to have resolved the issue by reselecting the workgroup
name from the drop-down menu in System Preferences - Network - advanced.

On doing this my mac suddenly appeared in windows explorer."

This was done when I tried to fully network El Capitan ????? years ago.
I double checked, every system has the same workgroup, as well as an
account with the same name and password.

nospan also posted a link to an Apple website referencing Sierra, I
think, and I'd don't all of those suggestion s also.

The machines, it would help if they were on the same subnet.

I never mess with the subnet settings, in as much as I have no clue what
they do.

If you had set up HomeGroups on one of the machines, then
the scan could look like this.

192.168.2.104 MSHOME\BOB SHARING
192.168.2.108 WORKGROUP\IE10WIN7 SHARING
*timeout (normal end of scan)

and in a file sharing view, one machine may not see the other.

None of my systems have ever had Homegroups used.

The first item would be workgroup=MSHOME and you can
look in the System control panel at what value is being
used.

I don't use either workgroup or MSHOME for the name, but the name I've
chose is on every system

it did reference sierra, but nothing significant has changed regarding
windows file sharing since then, so it still applies.

there are certainly other changes between the two systems, but they're
not relevant.

Agreed, on both points.
