Sony TV (Android TV) does not see a computer through a router
In the home network, organized through a router via LAN cables, the following devices are combined: laptop (Windows 10) and 3 TV Sony BRAVI – one of them with Android operating system, two – just Smart TV, . All TVs see the local network and access the Internet.
When I bought a TV with Android, immediately put on it file manager ES Explorer. At first everything was set up normally, ES Explorer saw the laptop, opened “shared” folders on it and launched videos, photos, etc.
On other Smart TVs, I don’t remember exactly, but I think I also launched some video files a couple of times before.
Now I can see all the TVs on the network from my laptop too and I can send a video, audio file or photo to them from my laptop.
But when I want to open something from TV on my laptop – I can’t see anything on TV, although I have access to folders with video, photo archive and music. And on TV with Android in ES Explorer, when selecting the laptop icon, there is no response – the laptop does not open and also can’t see the shared folders.
Please tell me what could be the problem. Thanks in advance.

Hi. And what method did you use to set up the DLNA server on the laptop? And there in Android TV there is a built-in “Network” (media) program or something like that. Maybe the folders from the laptop will be displayed there.
And I would try disabling antivirus on the laptop.
Write about the result.
