SOLVED Mac shared folders suddenly not showing up in windows map network

[Riversiderepeat]

Just like the subject says, but here's a bit of background:

I have a folder on an old High Sierra system that I've been accessing for YEARS on an old Windows laptop running version 10. Never had any issues before UNTIL I removed the folder from my windows desktop. NO other changes were made to EITHER system. Now, when I try to remap the same folder, the High Sierra system doesn't show up at all in the Windows 10 mapping windows. A number of things I've tried include the following:

Tried renaming the workgroups on both computers.
Tried verifying that all IP's match in the Ethernet connection on the Mac and in the network settings on Windows.
Reset all of the above and tried again.

Mac system refuses to display in Windows map network location settings at all.
