Robert Aldwinckle --- Thanks for all the info and your perspective on this issue. If not than a query to the ipv6 address of the default mac will fail. My router seems to take care of that by referring the ip address of the cable adapter to the Wi-Fi adapter. W7 is not allowed access to W10. It was but now is not. This can be particularly useful if lending your device to one of your children to do homework, for example, and you don't want them to be tempted by , YouTube, , Facebook or other online services.

No combination of user and pass on W10 work. Can they be created dynamically? Did not seem to be able to connect. Open Wi-Fi networks are out of the questions. This will remove your selected network profile and forget the saved WiFi password. Please try to clear the dns cache to have a troubleshoot. After confirming that it asked me for a password?? Sounds like a problem with the protocols bound to each adapter. If not then it can only be reached by the ip address of the cable adapter.
In my case the Registry key on the Desktop was missing. The ability to manage saved networks has been removed. It is a simple network without a domain controller. After half an hour of tearing my hairs out, I finally figured it out. You already logged in once so you'll need to delete the cached credentials.
Over a period of time the list can become quite large. No error but it was forever trying to verify the password. So how should this be fixed?

While this may not solve connectivity issues, it is a good place to start.
But it has no effect on the issue at hand. The lists in network neighborhood on the windows machines all show the various machines, sometimes I need to do refresh. Before trying it, you should try some basic fixes first. I am waiting for the router support guys to confirm that this the case. You should never connect to such because the traffic is not encrypted at all and anyone can use a sniffer program to steal your sensitive data such as login credentials. You will have to enter a security key for every wireless network you wish to connect.
