When I first installed Windows 7 64-bit build 7100, it immediately detected all my network devices/computers. Over the past few days it has ceased to quit detecting the computers on my network and my PS3, but works fine, with no issues what so ever with my XBOX 360. Here is the hardware I'm working with.

If needed I'm willing to generate any sort of reports, hijackthis, msinfo32, dxdiag, ect.


Router: WGR614 V8 Firmware: 1.1.24

Computer 1: - Can be seen all devices except Computer 2
Windows XP SP3 32-bit
Broadcom NetXtreme 57xx Gigabit Controller
AMD 3500+ 939
1GB Kingston Ram PC-3200
NVidia Verto MX420 64MB AGP 4x

Computer 2: - Can only see Xbox 360
Windows 7 64-bit build 7100
Intel Quad-core Q6600
Marvell 88E8056
2X 2GB Corsair w/ heatsink
NVidia 8500 GT 512 MB PCI-E 16x 1.0

Squeezebox Duet w/ Controller - Can only be seen by Computer 1

Squeezebox Boom - Can be seen by only computer 1

Xbox 360 - 20GB premium edition Opus - Works PERFECTLY fine and can be seen with by all PCs

PS3 80GB - Metal Gear 4 Edition - Can be seen by all PCs, except Windows 7

Troubleshooting Steps:​

  1. Check Network Discovery Settings:
    • Ensure that Network Discovery is enabled on your Windows 7 PC.
      • Go to Control Panel > Network and Sharing Center > Change advanced sharing settings.
      • Make sure that "Turn on network discovery" is selected under the appropriate network profile (Private, Public, etc.).
    []Verify Network Connection:
    • Ensure that all devices are connected to the same network...

      • Make sure that "Turn on network discovery" is selected under the appropriate network profile (Private, Public, etc.).
    []Verify Network Connection:
    • Ensure that all devices are connected to the same network.
    • Check the network cables, Wi-Fi connections, or any network-related configurations.
    [
    ]Update Network Drivers:
    • Update the network adapter drivers on Computer 2 (Windows 7).
      • Go to Device Manager, locate the network adapter, right-click, and select "Update driver."
      • Optionally, visit the manufacturer's website to download the latest drivers for your network adapter.
    []Check Firewall and Antivirus Software:
    • Temporarily disable the firewall or antivirus software on Computer 2 to see if they are blocking network discovery.
    • Ensure that necessary network discovery protocols (such as Bonjour or UPnP) are allowed through the firewall.
    [
    ]Reset Winsock and TCP/IP:
    • Open Command Prompt as an administrator and run the following commands:
      Code:
       netsh winsock reset netsh int ip reset
    • Restart your computer after executing these commands.
    []Reboot Router:
    • Restart your router to refresh the network connections.
    [
    ]Check HomeGroup Settings:
    • If you are using HomeGroup for sharing, verify the HomeGroup settings and ensure that all devices are part of the same HomeGroup.
    []Network Troubleshooter:
    • Run the built-in Network Troubleshooter on Windows 7.
      • Go to Control Panel > Troubleshooting > Network and Internet > Network Adapter.
    [
    ]Check Network Services:
    • Make sure that essential network services like Network Discovery and SSDP Discovery are running.
      • Open the Services snap-in (services.msc) and check the status of these services.

        Additional Information:​

        • Generating reports like msinfo32 and dxdiag might provide detailed information that could be useful for troubleshooting.
        • If the issue persists, providing a HijackThis log could help identify any potential software conflicts or issues.
        Try these steps and let me know if you need further assistance or if any specific reports would be helpful in diagnosing the issue.
