    LAN connection


    On my LAN there are two computers, mine and my spouses. We use special software that uses a shared data file kept on my system. When my spouse want to start her software using the data file on my system, we often get a message saying the data file is not available. Obviously the sharing between to the computers is not set properly.


    Microsoft is very lax is providing a clear explanation of setting this type of simple sharing between two systems where no security is needed or wanted. We both uses Windows 10 Pro and keep our systems up-to-date constantly.


    Can anyone provide me a simple explanation of how to set up such sharing?

    :)

    Good LAN party games?

    Most of my suggestions have already been listed.

    However, I found Swat4 to actually be a pretty fun LAN game, especially at smaller LAN parties.

      tab.
