RetroPie is not displayed in the Windows network environment

Yeah, @cyperghost is right, didn't even notice I put the wrong address in the ping command.

@mitu It's nice to observe synergy at work. :)

@cyperghost The communication check failed to detect the retropie node.
Check the host name and try again.

@mitu AP Isolation disabled

@xabib2302 If pinging 192.168.100.5 still doesn't work (i.e. you get host not found) then the same comment as before applies - your RetroPie device at 192.168.100.5 is not reachable from your PC, so there's nothing RetroPie can do. Check if you have any firewall/Antivirus(?) installed on your PC and maybe temporarily disable them while repeating the ping test to see if they interfere.

@mitu The SmartScreen and firewall disabled and still the result is zero

@xabib2302 Can you access the console of Retropie? (i.e. connect a keyboard to your Pi and press F4 in Emulation Station)

Then, you could check how it looks from Retropie's side with the command

ifconfig     # NOT ipconfig like in Windows

or you could try to ping your router or Windows from the Pi:

ping 192.168.100.1    # or whatever your router's IP is
ping 192.168.100.2    # or whatever your PC's IP is

As a desperate measure, you could even test if your Pi responds to pings by pinging itself:

ping localhost

Remember, all commands are to be issued on the Pi's own console you land in after pressing F4 in Emulation Station.

Unfortunately, my knowledge about solving network issues is very limited. The above commands are meant to provide further information an to rule out some unexpected problems on the Pi's side.

@Xabib2302 I found if you have Windows 7 or higher, you may have to turn on network discovery if it isn't enabled by default : Windows Network Discovery

Not sure your having ssh or samba issues.
For ssh (you can do a reinstall):

sudo apt-get -y purge openssh-server
sudo apt-get -y install openssh-server

For Samba:

sudo nano etc/samba/smb.conf
Just change the workgroup (and should be find in Windows)

mine never showed up on a static ip for some reason but worked with dchp(on the windows machine)
