    Cannot access computer on same network - Told to contact network admin which is me


    I have two computers running Windows 11. I get an error when I try to access one computer from the other. "You do not have permission to access \\PC_Name"I've tried all of the troubleshooting steps I can find online.I can ping one from the other.I can access a particular shared folder directly--meaning that in Windows Explorer, I can enter \\PC_Name\Shared_Folder_Name, and I can access the folders in that folder. However, if I simply click on the name of the other computer in Windows Explorer, I get the "you don't have permission" error.What gives?Thanks.Ken

    :)

    One computer cannot access other network computers.


    So I've tried every troubleshooting step I know:
    • Double checked that Net Bios was enabled
    • Ran a bunch of network commands:
      • flushed DNS
      • registered dns
      • pinged and located the named computers successfully
    • Reset my router to factory settings

    Nothing works when I try to access via explorer. I'm still baffled by the fact that every other computer can access each other AND access this computer. It's just the outgoing connection from this machine that doesn't work.

    Any thoughts?

    2. Win+X->Control Panel->Netwok and Sharing Center
      Follow the screen shot. This should disable internet access from this PC but allows access to local device(s)
      NOTE: Use the IP & Subnet Mask from step 1. Leave Default gateway & DNS Server blank
