    Local private network access fails when the internet is down. Why?


    I have a home network with 3 Pc's, 3 NAS devices, a smart TV and the internet modem. Connected via an 8 port netgear GS608 switch: each device has it's own port on the switch.The home network is a private network - see screenshot attached, including properties of the local area connection linkWhen the internet is up, the PC's can access the NAS devices - they appear in windows explorer as network devices and mapped drives.However, when the internet is down external issues in the ISP access network, the PC's are not able to access any of the NAS devices. Attempts to do just get the internet

    How to share file access on private network

    Kenneth,

    But that is the [local] Admin account whose credentials you will use to authorise your network access [step 7 of my suggested procedure].

    Internet only, No Local network

    Hello,

    I have windows 10 and I have my own router that I use for internet access and local networking with other pc's also running windows 10 with shared drives and printers. It has worked flawlessly locally connecting to other pc/drives and printer sharing.

    My network by clock has always said network and internet access until today.... Now it just says internet access and my local network does not work.

    So why all of a sudden do I only have internet with NO LOCAL network access ???? All other pc's on my home network still function and connect to local just fine.

    Rebooting router does nothing...

    rebooting this pc does nothing...

    resetting network on this pc does nothing....

    All share settings are correct and network and sharing shows "private network" as it should.

    2. Win+X->Control Panel->Netwok and Sharing Center
      Follow the screen shot. This should disable internet access from this PC but allows access to local device(s)
      NOTE: Use the IP & Subnet Mask from step 1. Leave Default gateway & DNS Server blank
