Windows Central Question

My laptop (Win 8.1) can't see my Lumia 635 (Win 8.1) on my home network.

Phone: Lumia 635 w/ Windows 8.1
Laptop: Lenovo g505 w/ Windows 8.1

Both the phone and the laptop are connected to my home network and have internet access.

I am trying to use a WiFi file sharing app on my phone, but the Lumia phone doesn't even show up as a device on my network. I've tried to turn on every possible sharing feature on both the phone and the laptop without any success.

Any hints, thoughts or suggestions?
