Cant see server on network from the workstation
Why the hell can’t I see my Windows Server2008 server on my network while I’m on my workstation? I can see the workstation from the server.
I can’t seem to enable network discovery. it keeps turning off after I enable it. Anyone know wtf is going on?
I tried to google the answer all night but can’t find the answer.
which os on the workstation? Is it on a workgroup or domain? Is the server handing out IP addresses and DNS? Or are you using different DNS?
Workstation is on Windows 7.
Its on a domain.
The server is not handing out IPs, but has a DNS role. I have to set the DNS to point back at server to get it on the same domain. it can ping eachother just fine.
the Default Group policy might not allow network discovery to be turned on. Check that first. You can also check to see if you can get to the server by typing in \servername into the search bar at the bottom of the start menu.
