Can’t browse or view my network shares from windows system

Issue Description:


I have installed windows 2012 server on one of my systems.  Everything seems to work fine except I can’t browse to or view my network shares from this system.  My network shares are accessible from other windows systems on the network.  

 

Solution:


Make sure the following windows services are set to automatic and started on the windows 2012 system:

  • Computer Browser
  • Function Discovery Resource Publication
  • SSDP Discovery
  • UPnP Device Host
  • DNS Client
  • Additionally if WINS is available in the environment make sure “TCP/IP over BIOS” is also enabled
