Restart Network Devices: Restart your router or modem to refresh the network connection. Sometimes, network devices can encounter temporary issues that can affect device visibility. Power cycling the devices can help resolve these issues.
Disable Firewalls and Antivirus: Temporarily disable any firewall or antivirus software on your PC that may be blocking network connections. Sometimes, these security measures can prevent your PC from appearing on the connections list. Remember to re-enable the firewall and antivirus after testing.

Verify Workgroup or Homegroup Settings: If you are using a Windows PC and trying to connect to other Windows devices, ensure that they are part of the same workgroup or homegroup. Having different workgroup settings can prevent devices from appearing on the connections list. You can adjust these settings in the System Properties or the Settings app.
