It is not sufficient to just make Windows Logon " Enter Windows Password " : This does not make a login to the network software, not allowing you then to use the network! The names of the available resources are the Share-names. If only your own system is shown, see the next section on how the " Network Neighborhood " works. However, "My Network Places" is missing, and there's seemingly no way I can access shared folders on on computer's on the same wireless network.
I suspect that joeqwerty has your answer , but in case not you might just check to see that the icon hasn't been removed from the desktop.
Right-click on the desktop, select Properties, and have a look:. Take a look and see if the Client for Microsoft Networks and the File and Printer sharing for Microsoft Networks components are installed and bound to your network adapter. Then check to make sure that the Workstation and Server services are running.
Also check the Windows Firewall and see if there are any rules prohibiting local network access to file and printer sharing. Open the Network Connections folder. Under Network Tasks, click Set up a home or small office network. Sign up to join this community. The best answers are voted up and rise to the top. You are commenting using your Facebook account.

Email Address:. Create a free website or blog at WordPress. To browse the list of available network resources, choose the Entire Network option in the left pane of My Network Places. Then, in the right pane, several options may appear for the kinds of networks available to browse. Choose the Microsoft Windows Network option to browse resources available locally. Each local computer found in My Network Places is listed under its Windows workgroup name. In home networks, all computers should be set to use the same Windows workgroup , otherwise, they will not be accessible through My Network Places.
The Add a network place option can be found on the left side of the My Network Places control window. Selecting this option starts a Windows wizard that guides you through the steps to define a network resource. The Add a Network Place wizard allows you to give descriptive names to the resources you add.
When the wizard completes its setup, an icon similar to a Windows shortcut icon appears in the resource list. Along with the resources you manually add to My Network Places, Windows sometimes automatically adds other resources to the list.
These are places on the local network you frequently access. The icon representing any network resource can be deleted as if it were a local shortcut.
During a delete operation, no action is taken on the resource. The My Network Places task pane contains an option to view network connections. Choosing this option launches the Windows Network Connections window. This is technically a separate feature from My Network Places.
My Network Places finds network resources. It also supports creating descriptively named shortcuts for network resources.
