    Desktop won't show Networked Shared Folders


    Hi there

    If you install spring update (1803) :

    after 1803 update SMB1 is disabled by default - re-enable again. The option where it automatically disables SMB1 has GONE so you shouldn't get this type of problem once you've installed the Spring 1803 update.

    Eventually though if on your non windows devices you can get SMB3 to work then that's the best solution.

    Cheers

    Hi, I don't know when it exactly happened but yesterday, when I decided to set up Kodi SMB shares to my Rasberry to my desktop folders had stop showing(some old ones on my external drive weren't working in the first place but even new folders don't work) disabled firewall, vpn, defender and just about anything that would block connection . The weird thing is my Laptop does share my computer between desktop but not another way around.

    Any help much appreciated Sorry being vague I just don't know where to start thx in advance.

    :)

  3. Adding shared folder onto WIFI PC from Ethernet connected PC

    Hello, I am trying to add shared folders to my new Windows 10 laptop, from two windows 10 desktop PCs. The laptop is connected to my WIFI network, the two desktops are connected via ethernet cable out of the same router. I have shared folders on both desktops
    for my photography, and each one show up on the other's network places with access to the shared folders. The problem is the laptop doesn't see the desktops in my network folder. Is this because the laptop is on WIFI and the desktops hard wired? Is there
    a way to connect?

    Thanks,

    Greg

  4. Desktop won't show Networked Shared Folders

    How to pass network folder through internet connection sharing?

    I am trying to give a desktop that is connected through internet connection sharing , access to a Network folder that is on my netgear router. I went to the settings for the internet sharing and attempted to add the network folder to it , the network folder
    is //fileshare on my network , and the desktop on the internet connection sharing will still not access the folder. It seems that the internet connection sharing is put on a separate network?

    nvm apparently there were two problems that had nothing to with each other 1. being network was discoverable by just typing "\\Server Name" and 2. SMB1 being disabled(need for Kodi but probably gonna disable again and update to new version that uses SMB2)

    Thx..me lol
