Windows 10: I have multiple domain PCs that keep connecting/dropping from network share every couple...

Not sure why these computers have these issues but the other PC's dont.

:)

 

360 connection to PC

Yes it is very possible, thats the way I do it.

-Go to my network
-Then click on the network and sharing tab at the top of the window
-Then click manage network connections on the left
-Then right click on the network adapter that is connected to the internet and go to properties
-Click on the sharing tab and check the first box that talks about sharing (if you have multiple ethernet connections then pull down the drop down menu and select the port that the 360 is connected to.

And there ya go, should be all set if you follow those steps. If your confused at all feel free to ask more questions or google "vista ics"

 

Cannot connect to shared drive on company domain network.


At my work, we are upgrading all computers from Windows 7 to Windows 10 (roughly about 12 computers total). So far 6 of them have been upgraded successfully with not network issues. There is a company domain in place. After upgrading the 7th computer, a Dell Latitude E6410, to windows 10, I cannot access the shared drive on the network. I can connect to the network, see shared printers and any shared workstations, and can even access the internet, but cannot connect to the shared drive. When attempting to do so, the message about missing network protocols come up. I have tried a few suggested fixes but cannot fix the issue.

Any ideas?

 

Can't connect to shared network drive

After the last Windows 10 update (1803), our five Windows 10 Pro computers which are in a WORKGROUP local network (no domain) keep loosing their connection to two shared network drives on one of the computers. Usually by restarting their computer (sometimes
multiple times) they can see the shared drives. Also, the following steps almost always fix the problem but again it only lasts for a day or two or sometimes a few hours.

1. Close all running programs.
2. Click on Start Menu and then rt-click on This PC and choose Properties.
3. Click on “Advanced System Settings” on the left side of the window.
4. Click on Computer Name tab.
5. Click on Network ID button.
6. Accept the default of “This computer is part of a business network”.
7. Click on the Next button.
8. Change the setting to “My computer uses a network without a domain”.
9. Accept the default workgroup name of “WORKGROUP”.

10. Click on Next button.

11. Click on Finish button.

12. Click on OK.

13. Restart the computer.

Also restarting the computer which hosts the shared drives also doesn't seen to solve the problem for more than a few hours.

Thanks very much for any help.
