Windows – “Network path not found” when trying to access network PC

home-networkingnetwork-shareswindows 7windows 8

I have 2 computers: Windows 7 desktop and Windows 8 laptop in a home wi-fi network. They are both configured to use passworded shared file access, not homegroup-based access. Desktop PC can access laptop, but laptop throws "Network path not found" when trying to access the desktop (which is visible in the network on laptop).
Ideas?

Open Kasperky settings->Firewall-Networks and set LAN to either local or trusted, ensure internet is set to public.

As I understand you are unable to access shared folders on other computers. Try completely disabling windows firewall for all profiles and see if you can browse the pc's. If you have some antivirus or firewall software, also try disabling it. Check your file and print settings in network and sharing center - > advanced sharing settings.
