connecting new tablet to home wireless network

[SheerMagic]

Hi all,
I have just bought my first tablet, great I hear you say.

I have a wireless home network and the tablet connects to it just fine. I also have a laptop that connects to the router just fine too but I cannot find each device on the other.

Did I tell you that Ive just upgraded the laptop to windows 8.1 from vista and Im struggling to find what Im looking for

Any help greatfully accepted

Mine don't see each other either. Do they need to? If so you need an app.
