    I have a home LAN with 3 Win10 computers all version 1909. 2 of the 3 can access files on all 3; the other one can see all 3 but cannot access files on one of them. When it tries to do that the error is 80070035 'network path not found'.

    All 3 computers are set up identically with respect to the file sharing settings recommended by numerous authorities.


    So it is something else -- perhaps a router or firewall issue? Please make TESTABLE suggestions only.

    :)

    Workgroup Computers are displayed as Media Devices

    I have several Win10 computers on a "WORKGROUP" network. Network location is set to private on all machines with network discovery and file and printer sharing activated. Two computers are listed as workgroup computers and two as media devices. What do I have to do in order to get the media devices to show up as workgroup computers?

    One computer cannot access other network computers.


    So I've tried every troubleshooting step I know:
    • Double checked that Net Bios was enabled
    • Ran a bunch of network commands:
      • flushed DNS
      • registered dns
      • pinged and located the named computers successfully
    • Reset my router to factory settings

    Nothing works when I try to access via explorer. I'm still baffled by the fact that every other computer can access each other AND access this computer. It's just the outgoing connection from this machine that doesn't work.

    Any thoughts?
