Mac Finder Sidebar has lost my networked shares

All the devices listed in the 'Shared' section of the Finder have disappeared and have been replaced an 'All" option If you click on "ALL" it only lists "Servers" 
In the past, many shared network drives appeared, other computers, tonido, Nas, etc, etc

Restaring does not fix it, reebooting network switches, routers, modems have noe effect.

Checked internet for help, many explain how to delete p-lists etc, editing sidebar preferences , but to no avail.


FIX:- " Go to systems preferences , "Sharing" tick the box "File Sharing"  you may see as i did that all my shares appeaered. 
Strangest thing though, i then unticked the box, the shares did not dissapear??? I restarted once again without the "File Sharing" option ticked and the shares were still visible?? 

Go Figure! 

Hope it works for you..
