Realtek network card issue

Cannot get the network computers to show in the detail panel when I select Network in the folder list. if I de-select hide hidden operating system files it says 3 items are hidden, if I select hide hidden operating system files it just says this view is empty.
This all seemed to start after upgrading windows 10 to the Creators edition. I can see everything fine using windows file explorer so it's not a windows/realtek network card issue. I use the same configuration file on a PC with an intel network card and it works fine.
Yes, I have updated to the latest realtek drivers(dated 1-22-2018) and have updated XYplorer(18.70.0100) everytime it's prompted me that a new version is available. so several times since the Creators edition upgrade. All to no avail.
Anyone have a clue what may be the issue?

Not sure about the cause, but if you manually browse to the location within XY and have Cache Network servers enabled it should fix the problem from then on. eg "\\NETWORKPC-10"
Configuration | General | Controls and More | Network | Cache network servers

Does it work with the XY instance that you get when you type
into the address bar and confirm this command with {ENTER}?

Jupe, if I try your way it just comes up with a windows error box, xyplorer says "location currently not available" except I have a drive mapped and I can see the mapped drive to the other computer in xyplorer. odd, no?
Thanks tho.
highend, if I do your option, it pops up a new xyplorer window that looks like a generic setup and it shows my mapped drives to the other PC's but still an empty Network view.
After seeing what you recommended, I renamed the xyplorer.ini and started up again, it made me re-register the software and showed my mapped drives, but still an empty Network view. I assume this is all default settings now.

I have a feeling you may have entered my example literally, so if you did as an alternative try browsing to the location in Windows Explorer then copy the exact location from the Explorer address bar and paste in XY's, does that work ? It needs to be an address that begins with \\ forget about the mapped drives for now. If it does work, turn on cache network servers as described above and then repeat for each location.
Another thing you could try is toggling the following setting in your XYplorer.ini, (if it is 1 set it to 0 or vice versa)
for instructions on how to tweak the ini file:

A couple more troubleshooting steps if its still not working, you could enter each of the following in the XY address bar and reply with the results of each:
Code: Select all
enumshellfolderitems 61;
text get("network", 0);
text get("network", 1);

Thanks Jupe, it's working now.
I needed to get the other PC to show as you described but it didn't persist between sessions until I changed NetworkNetServerEnum= from 1 to 0.
This PC still doesn't show itself in the network view, but that is not really an issue for me.
Again Thanks!

If you mean your current PC's network address, you can manually add it via List Mangement | Servers in Network Folder then it should
