Things to try:

Make sure the two devices aren't using a WiFi guest network. Sometimes guest networks won't permit a guest device to "see" other guest devices.
Check if your WiFi router is using Wireless/SSID Isolation. If it is then the two machines can't see each other.
Check if the PC can ping the Samsung. Use Google to find the windows ping command. If it can't then the two machines are isolated from each other for some reason.
Check if the Samsung can ping the PC. You might need to download a network utility to do this.
Check if it works if you boot the PC in safe mode. If it does then your AV / network security is blocking the connection.
