Windows 10: Can't access shared Windows 8 computers via Windows 10

OK, so I have this one Windows 10 computer.
When trying to access a Windows 8 computer under "Network", it prompts me for a user/pass.

All other computers (Windows 7/8) can see the public folders of each other no problem; even the public folders of this one Windows 10 computer!

What gives? Thx.

Windows 10 machine can't access shared folder

I have a customer with a peer to peer network. They have just added a Windows 10 Home computer to the network. The new computer shared folders can be accessed by any of the other computers on the network. Additionally the new computer can access shared folders
on a Windows 7 computer but is not able to access shares on another Windows 8 computer. The Windows 8 computer can access shared folders on the new Windows 10 computer.

Network discovery and file sharing are turned on on all computers. Password protected sharing is turned off. When attempting to see the shared folders on the Window 8 machine from the new Windows 10 machine a prompt asking for a Username and password appears.
I enter the logged in username from the Window 8 machine and the password that user enters to log on to the Windows 8 machine. Each time it tells me the username or password is incorrect. The shared folders are set for full access by Everyone. The shared folders
on the Windows 8 machine are easily accessed from the other two computers on the network. I can successfully ping the Windows 8 machine from the new Windows 10 machine.

Does anyone have any suggestions regarding what might be causing this and how to fix it?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Try the following to disable SMB 2 & 3. Microsoft has found it in their idiotic wisdom to stop guest browsing of shares from and to Windows 10. The following is entered in the Powershell as an Administrator. Also remember to Flush the DNS and reset the Winsock, before rebooting.

Use the Client commands for the disable. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2696547
