file sharing over local network issues

Hi,

Thank you for posting in Community, we understand your concern and we will try our best to help you resolve the issue.

I would suggest the following to resolve the issue you are faced with.

Method 1: Windows can't detect a computer on a Public network. To fix this problem, you can try changing the network location to Home or Work or try connecting to a network that already has a Home or Work network location.

Method 2:

If Link Layer Topology Discovery (LLTD) protocol is disabled on the network adapter. Windows uses the LLTD protocol to map computers and devices on a network. To enable LLTD, follow these steps:

• 
  Right click on the Start menu and select
  Control Panel. In the search box, type adapter, and then, under
  Network and Sharing Center, click View network connections.
  
• 
  Right-click the network connection, and then click Properties.
  
• 
  Select the Link-Layer Topology Discovery Mapper I/O Driver and
  Link-Layer Topology Discovery Responder check boxes, and then click
  OK.
  

[*]
Method 3: To turn on network discovery, follow these steps:

• 
  Right click on the Start menu and select
  Control Panel. In the search box, type network, click
  Network and Sharing Center, and then, in the left pane, click
  Change advanced sharing settings.
  
• 
  Click the drop down icon to expand the Home or Work network profile.
  
• 
  Click Turn on network discovery, and then click
  Save changes. If you're prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
  

Hope this information helps.

 

How to limit Windows Sharing to one PC on a network?

Unfortunately, without having a domain and DC using AD DS or similar, I don't believe you can do the shares how you see them on a home-grade network without simply using accounts and account authorization. You need to treat and view these local accounts as a workstation ID instead of an account logged into your computer like you are now. In that respect, this would make limited access quite easy. Give the user of that computer the ID and password to access your PC on the network and they'll have access to specific shares. You'll be a mini-network admin in no time! *Big Grin

You can have access credentials saved on the PC accessing shares, reducing the need to login every time to access the share.

Another option would be to modify the share in Computer Management. Shared Folders > Shares.

Add a $ at the end of the share name to make it invisible, so you must know the location to access it. You will see examples of this as there are some default shares within Windows already setup this way.

With that you may still want to do as suggested above by newtekie1 with permissions and/or with local accounts to restrict access still so you can assign whom has access to that share.

Beyond that I don't believe there is a way to restrict via PC ID's, because each PC is its own identity, and none are registered to a central server like a domain controller, so using the PC name/ID as a network resource on your home network in the method you want isn't realistic. But if you can manage to accept and view extra created accounts (create them in Computer management too btw...then you have one window for creating and managing accounts and shares) as a PC ID, you'll be fine me thinks.
