    Issues while accessing PC over network


    I have 5 pc's on my network. Only 1 of them can't share. When I try to access that pc from any of the other 4 pc's I get a message.


    windows cannot access \\XXXXX

    you do not have permission to access \\XXXXX

    contact your local network admin to request access


    However, the pc that can't share, can access all of the other pc's

    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

    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
