  1. Connection to PC on same network as my laptop


    Hi,

    I cannot see files on my wifes PC from my laptop. We are both on Windows 1909 mine 64 bits my wife's 32. We are using the same router. We used to be able to see each other files.


    I can see and use the printer connected to my wife's PC but no files only Users containing 2 default 1 being . migrated we used to be able to see everything.


    When I look at my Advanced Sharing settings Private it is set to Turn off network discovery and Turn on file and printer sharing. If I change these it seems to do it but when I look again they have not changed. My wife's PC says Turn on network discovery.

    Also when I look further at giving access to a folder it seems to request specific people if I say everyone can I assume that that means everybody who uses that router i.e. visitors I do not object to that as I only give read access. I thought giving the device name was sufficient.

  2. Losing network connection

    Hello Dear, if you have a laptop or a PC with a wireless network adapter, you can see a list of available wireless networks and then connect to one of those networks. The wireless networks will only appear if your PC has a wireless network adapter installed, the adapter is turned on, and the wireless access point is in range.

    1. Click Start, click Control Panel, click Network and Internet Connections, and then click Network Connections.

    2. In the left pane, under Network Tasks, click View available wireless networks.
    In case, If you don't see the network you want to connect to, click Refresh network list. If you see the network but the signal is weak, move the PC closer to the wireless router.

    3. Click the network you want to connect to, and then click Connect.

    4. If you're connecting to a secure network, type the security key, and then click OK.

    I Hope you solve out your query soon.
