Issues while accessing PC over the network

Hi Cliff,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand that you are facing issues while accessing the PC’s over the network. For further clarity on the issue, please respond to the questions below.

1. Have you connected both the laptops to the same network through which the PC is connected?
   
2. Which build version of Windows is installed on the PC’s?
   

Refer the article
Which version of Windows operating system am I running?



Meanwhile, I would suggest you to try connecting the PC to the main router and see if you are able to access the laptops.



If you are able to access the laptops, then we need to configure the network settings once again. You can refer the suggestions by

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?
