    PC Networking/Sharing on Private Network

    We have latest Windows 10 on 3 PC's in our home. They are all connected to the same wifi secure connection. I've configured all 3 for sharing over a private network but have not been able to access the other PC's. I can see one of the computers but
    it is saying that I don't have permissions to access, to contact my administrator (that's actually me and I'm listed as administrator). This networking worked well with homegroup in earlier versions but since Windows 10 update I have no longer been able to
    network and open files on other PC's. I would think this would be much easier in Windows 10. Does anyone have any suggestions to make this work? Thanks in advance.

    Sharing folders on a private network

    I've been trying to set up my family's private network so the individual computers can access shared folders on the other systems, however one system is not cooperating. In network sharing advanced, I've set the computer to recognize
    it's on a private network, turned on network discovery and file and print sharing, turned on public file sharing and turned off password protected sharing.

    Despite this, while the pc is discoverable in the other systems Network folder of File Explorer, we get a request for permissions every time we try to access the system (And I mean when we click the icon in the top layer of Network,
    before even seeing the individual shared folders).

    What can I do to make this work?

    Also, everyone's running windows 10 and we're connecting via ethernet.

    How to share file access on private network

    W10 Sharing on LAN -- Need to REFRESH Network to access shares


    I still think this must be a setting and so re-installing Win10 won't fix. Before you reinstall, I suggest that you create a new Workgroup and see if that works. (Choose Work in the Wizard, not home)

    Good luck... How to share file access on private network :)
