  1. network / file sharing


    Hi

    I have desktop and 2 laptops running windows 10. Homegroup is not available.

    I have shared the files / folders I want to use but the laptops/PCs only show up as media devices.

    I have shared the files exactly as shown on your help pages.

    All 3 devices can link to the network with internet access and can share printers. I have turned off windows firewall (use mcaffee)

    I do NOT want to use onedrive I just want to share the files across all 3 computers when I am in the house using my wireless network.

    G

    :)

  2. Block File sharing in Wifi network, Windows 10

    Hi Lori,

    As per the description, I understand that you want to block file sharing on your Wi-Fi network. I suggest you to follow the steps provided below and check if it helps.

    • Right click on Start and select Control Panel.
    • Change the view type to Large Icons.
    • Click on Network and Sharing center.
    • In the left navigation pane, click on Advanced sharing center.
    • In the right pane, under Files and printer sharing, select the option:
      Turn off file and printer sharing.
    • Restart the system and check for status.

    Hope this helps. Keep us posted on the status for further assistance.

    Share Files and Folders Over a Network in Windows 10


    Hi Brink great tutorial as usual.

    I could not help but notice in step 1 you say to enable " Function Discovery Resource Publication "

    In most of the posts I have read on Ten Forums they also suggest to enable " Function Discovery Provider Host "

    Are you suggesting that Function Discovery Provider Host is not necessary.

    network / file sharing

    Basic Network guide

    I'll be adding a small page on doing this in windows vista soon, since XP is the same with a step or two less, i assume people will figure it out.
