Windows 10: I can discover the remote PC on my home network, but the system thinks my network...

I can discover a remote PC on my home network and want to share program files. When prompted to enter network credentials username & PW the system thinks they are incorrect, I've tried to toggle between a couple different options in advanced sharing settings but still a no go. Any ideas are better than mine-ha. Thanks!

Networking

Yeah, I don't have a base station in my network. The router is controlled remotely over the LAN from any PC that is connected to the network.

 

Help needed with simple wired network

Step one- Connect all PC's to router, and then the router to the modem. PC's go to router by the ports labeled "1-4" on the back of the router. WAN port goes to router. Power up all network equipment, and then systems.
Step two- Power on the computer connected to port one. Go into router settings at 192.168.0.1 and configure internet, dyndns, firewall, etc.
Step three- Go to "network set up wizard" in windows. (Network places- network set up wizard). The rest is self explanatory.
Step four- right click on each drive and printer you want to share, and then configure sharing preferences. Should be easy enough.
Step five- right click my computer, and the select "map network drive". Using the network address for each piece of hardware you shared, assign network drive letters.

Congratulations, you have a fully operational network. Happy Gaming! *Toast :toast:

 

Remote PC (home WiFi network) does not appear under "Network", but I *can* access it via shortcut. What's wrong?

I'm trying to access my primary Win10 PC from my Win10 Notebook over my home WiFi network, but when I open the "Network" window, it's not listed.

However, I discovered I can still access it via a shortcut on my desktop with the target set to the name of the remote PC.

Why is this possible and how do I get my remote PC to appear in the Network window? TIA
