  1. My secondary pc isnt able to access files from the main pc on my local network

I think I have gone through and tested and checked everything I possibly can, but I have no idea what I am doing, all of the things I tried came from the internet and who knows if it did anything or made it worse.

  2. Sync folder between Air and PC locally

    I'm looking for a software which will keep folders on my Mac Air and PC synced via the local wireless network.

    I usually take my Mac with me everywhere and as such have tons of large downloaded files that I have to manually copy over to the PC. I'm looking for something that'll transfer the files over the local wireless network in my home.

    Any suggestions?

  3. Issues while accessing PC over the network

    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
    Which version of Windows operating system am I running?




    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

    Hi,

    I understand your concern related to not being able to access other PC on the network. For further clarity on the issue, please respond to the questions below.



    1. Which build version of Windows are you using on all the PC’s?
    2. Were you able to access the PC’s over the network previously?

    In addition, make sure the permissions provided to the shared folder allows access to the folder, so that other PC can see and access the files. Refer the article
