You can start by listing the 20 different ways you have tried.

The first step is usually to turn on sharing and discovery. Did you do that?
If not:

1. Click the Start button, type net and click Network and Sharing Center.
2. Set the Network Discovery option to On.
3. Set all the other stuff to whatever you want on this machine (I have them
all On).
4. Close the window.

I think that's all I did to get access to all my local network resources.
Also, you should see (Private Network) as the network type there. It was
very easy. I'm hooked into a wired LAN. And that's hooked into a wireless
LAN through a Wireless Access Point. I have access to all those resources.
