  1. Networking Three computers


    Any help would be appreciated - at my wits end


    I have 3 computers, all running Windows 10 Pro - I am trying to get them to talk with each other and share file data


    One of them will connect to the other two and show the shared files, but the others will not connect to it. Every time I try to connect to it from the other computers, I am getting the 'Enter Network Credentials' window. I have tried entering the microsoft sign in and password for it, but it keeps coming up as invalid.


    I have checked about 100 times the network settings to be sure sharing is on and password protection is off.


    I have read many, many posts about which services should be running and they all appear correct.


    Any ideas on what I can try to resolve this issue?

    :)

    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?

    Unable to browse network computers.

    We suggest creating a new administrator user account by following the steps
    here
    . Make sure to use the same network settings that you used for your other computers, then check if you can connect to the home network. Since you also mentioned that Windows 10 was freshly installed on this particular computer, have you already downloaded
    the latest updates? The latest build for Version 1607 is 14393.1715, and 15063.608 for Version 1703. You can check the build version of your computer by following these steps:

    • Click Start.
    • Type winver and press Enter.

    If you don't have the latest updates, you can follow these steps to install them:

    • Click Start.
    • Go to Settings.
    • Click Update & security.
    • Click Check for updates.

    If that doesn't work, we'd like screenshots of the network and file sharing settings of the computer that doesn't work, and the settings of one of your other computers that can connect and share files properly on the home network.

    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.
