Windows 10: I can see a shared folder on my server from my workstation, but it says Windows cannot...

I have just had to re-install a SSD on my server PC and now the other PCs on the LAN network cannot see it. It is called SERVER, but on Windows E it shows as 192.168.0.**, not 'SERVER'.I have made sure it is on the same workgroup and have set the folder permissions to share to Everybody. I have checked the other PCs on the LAN and they have the same problem, they can see the shared folder when they type \\192.168.0.** into Windows E, but no permission to access.Please advise.

Windows 10 Domain Workstation cannot browse server shares

I have a single Windows 10 (14393) workstation on a network consisting of 13 workstations all connected to a Windows Server Essentials 2016 domain that will not see/browse the server shares. The services are all running and shows connected in the server
dashboard. The workstation can ping the server and an nslookup resolves the server just fine. The workstation sees only 3 other domain workstations in 'network', but can ping them all. I've disabled the firewall and AV with no luck. A net use \\servername
and net use \\serverIPaddress both return Error 53 - Network path not found. From the server I can browse to the \\workstation\c$ just fine. SMB is all enabled, and I've scanned for malware, nothing found. Also, I can browse the Internet just
fine, so networking appears to be working as expected. I simply cannot reach the shared drives on the local server. DNS is set to the Essentials Server. Any ideas on where to look next?

Thanks!

 

?? How do I PW protect Folders in windows

hmmm?
Sharing files and folders overview You can share the files and folders stored on your computer, on a network, and on the Web. The method you choose depends on whom you want to share files with, and what computer they will use to access the files.

When you share files or folders, they are not as protected as they are when you do not share them. People with access to your computer or your network might be able to read, copy, or change files that are in a shared folder. You should always be aware that the files and folders that you share are available to other people and be sure to monitor your shared files and folders on a regular basis.

Important

If your computer is not joined to a domain, you can use the Network Setup Wizard to automatically turn file and printer sharing on or off. To start the Network Setup Wizard, click Start, click Control Panel, click Network and Internet Connections, and then click Network Setup Wizard.
If you both use the same computer

You can put the files you want to share in the Shared Documents folder. Files stored in the Shared Documents folder or its subfolders are always available to other users on your computer.

Step-by-step procedure
Note

If you are connected to a network domain, the Shared Documents, Shared Pictures, and Shared Music folders are not available.
If both computers are on the same network

You can share a folder or drive on your computer with others on the network. You can also control whether the files in the shared folder can be modified by other users.

If your computer is connected to a network domain, use this procedure:

If your computer is connected to a workgroup, use this procedure:

Step-by-step procedure
Note

If you are connected to a network domain, you will need to set the Access control for the folder or drive after sharing it. For more information, go to To set, view, change, or remove file and folder permissions.
If you want to share your files online

You can publish pictures and documents on the Web using the Web Publishing Wizard. The files will be stored in a private, online folder that you manage.

Step-by-step procedure

If you don't want others to access your files

You can prevent other users from accessing your folders and the files they contain. When your computer is connected to a domain, this is called setting permissions for your file or folder. When your computer is connected to a workgroup, this is called making your folders private.

If your computer is connected to a network domain, use this procedure:

If your computer is connected to a workgroup, use this procedure:
