Googled lots of times. Everyone has a different answer.

Only network geeks can use the diagnostics, understand the output and
fix the problem. The rest are wannabes, born somewhere to the left of
us, littering the internet with junk posts guaranteed to confuse. It's
hopeless.

None of which seems to have made any difference. Some can see another, but
not the other way. Some show another on the network, but aren't allowed
access.

"see" at what level? ping is the starting point, you might need to
enable it through firewalls, once everything can ping everything else,
move up to SMB/CIFS sharing. If you try to use file shares first it's
running before the network can walk.

You can't actually ping things with Win 10.


Try putting a -4 in the command

ping -4 192.168.1.33

if that works, then blame iPv6.

Various ways, erm ..., to get rid of it.
