    Laptops cannot access desktops via WIFI


    I have 3 desktops (all on Windows 10 1803) connected on my LAN. After following this forum for some times and did all the steps as suggested by forum member, access denied, all my desktops are able to view and access one another. I have a printer connected to PC1, and managed to connect all the other 2 PCs to have the shared printer.

    I also have 2 more laptops (both Asus with the same Windows 10 1803) connected via WIFI. Performed all the same steps as per the desktops, but I was not able to access PC1. I was able to view all the 3 desktops from the file explorer, but I just can't access all the desktops. However, I was able to access the Asus laptops from desktop PC1.

    Anyone able to assist on this matter? Any assistance is highly appreciated.

    :)

    Can't access Paypal

    Hi,

    Running Windows 10 on an Acer laptop.

    Cannot load Paypal website.

    Have tried using multiple browsers;

    • Internet Explorer
    • Firefox
    • Opera
    • Google Chrome
    Unable to access via any of these.

    Have run scans using Malware Bytes and Avira - comes up clean.

    No issues opening any other web sites on the laptop - secured or otherwise.

    If I turn off the router and use my mobile as a hotspot I can connect the laptop to Paypal ok.

    If I revert to using home wifi then the laptop Paypal problem recurs.

    Desktop computer can connect to Paypal using the home wifi.

    Process of elimination suggests the problem is with the laptop wifi settings or Firewall somehow.

    Far from a computer expert - just your average frustrated user trying to do something that seems like it should be simple.

    Anyone had this or similar problem and worked it out?
