Few things to check. Does this computer have power settings that let it go to sleep or power off peripherals?
That was one of the first thing I checked to make sure the computer could not put the NIC to sleep
Does it have a wireless nic or onboard chip that is not disabled.
It has two NICS. ASUS P9X79 I haven't disabled one but I will try that. My goal was to use the second NIC for just for VMware. But I haven't figured out how to do that yet.
When the computer won't connect to other devices what does it say if you open a CMD prompt and type ipconfig.
right now the computer will connect to other computers but not the printer. BUT other computers can not connect to it.

Does the network address show up properly? yes
Can you ping other devices?
On the other computers I get a I get a Windows cannot access.. check the spelling otherwise there may be a problem with your network. BUT yes I can ping the workstation from other computers that can not connect.
Does the router show the device connected properly in the "Device List"?
I don't see the router at all under Device list... but it seems unlikely to be the router because all the other computers are working and I don't see it with my laptop either. I had to print today from the laptop because I can not print from the workstation to the network laser.
Once I loose complete connectivity to the LAN I will go through the list again. thanks for the help! m
I have virtual machines that do this sometimes and usually have to disable then re-enable the network interface to fix things. I've occasionally had to do this on windows 10 machines but usually only the boxes that have multiple NICs lopaka On Fri, Sep 1, 2017 at 4:49 PM, Winterlight <winterli...@winterlight.org> wrote: > I have a personal home workgroup comprising of my primary Windows 10 PRO > workstation, some LIVA mini computers I use with TVs and some laptops and > wireless phones.
