Windows 10: Network Access on Windows 11

I'm running Windows 11 and just recently my network connect changed from "internet access, secured" to "connected, secure". I'm able to access the internet and the network appears to be running just fine. I'm looking for any info on why this happened and if it's an issue. Any help greatly appreciated!

Windows 11 Network Sharing Not working

Hello:

I have 2 Dell laptops

1. Name MADHIRAS runs Windows 10 Pro
   
2. Name CHANDRA runs Windows 11 Pro
   

I am able to access laptop MADHIRAS (Windows 10) from CHANDRA (Windows 11).

However when I try to access CHANDRA (Windows 11) from Madhiras (Window 10) I get the following error message

“Network Error

Windows cannot access \\CHANDRA

You do not have permission to access \\CHANDRA. Contact your network administrator to request access.”

I login to my laptop CHANDRA (Windows 11) using Microsoft account name and password.

Tried various suggestions from internet but of no use. I feel am missing something very basic.

Would appreciate any help. Thanks in advance.

Sincerely,

Chandra Madhira

 

How to share file access on private network

I've worked through my own network setting up notes and posted A consolidated network setup checklist [post #108] - TenForumsTutorials

I thought providing a complete list would be more helpful than just posting additional steps as I initially did in post #6 above.

Wireless Network

Thanks for trying the steps again. It's now clear that the problem is on your router. To reconnect your laptop to the network, we suggest that you set or specify the channel of your wireless network. If you can access your router's user interface, set the
channel to either channel 1, 6, or 11. Once done, remove your WiFi network from your preferred network list, then reconnect.

Let us know the result.

Regards.
