    Can't access computers on home network


    I'm setting up a new Dell XPS 8930. Existing home network which uses Workgroup at this point includes a Win7 Dell and a Win8.1 Lenovo. The Win7 will be updated to 10 when this problem is solved. All computers show up on all computers under Network. The Win10 can access the Lenovo. The Lenovo and the Dell Win7 can see but not access the new computer, and the new computer can see but not access the Dell Win7:

    The error messages include:
    "Windows cannot access\\ . . .

    You do not have permission to access \\. . ." etc


    And: 0"x80070035 The network path was not found"


    Permissions on the new computer are set to "Everyone."


    Help much appreciated.

    :)

    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?

    Can't access computers on home network

    Can't access other user on home network, again

    My wife's computer was just updated to Version 1709, and as with most Windows updates, I'm unable to access certain files/users/computers. This one is new, I can see her computer (JIMS-PC) just fine (Map Network Drive/Browse), but can't log into any of her folders. I can map to user Jim and to c.

    Suzy is her user name and as you can see it is not listed under Users. She shows up under JIMS-PC because I went into her properties and clicked share this folder in Advanced Sharing. But I can't map to it.

    There are no other mappings on my computer to JIMS-PC. Subsequent attempts to log on brings up this message:
