    one of my computers can see but cant connect to local server


    one of my computers cannot access my local server via explorer. i dont even have the slightest clue what could be wrong and nether seams the internet as iv been looking for a fix for hours now.


    the server shows up fine in the network tab, but when i try to access it i get "windows cannot access \\servername", same result on wifi and ethernet.

    :)

    2. Win+X->Control Panel->Netwok and Sharing Center
      Follow the screen shot. This should disable internet access from this PC but allows access to local device(s)
      NOTE: Use the IP & Subnet Mask from step 1. Leave Default gateway & DNS Server blank

    Remote access to my (local) server's folders

    • Set up an FTP server on your file server.
    • Map the FTP server as a network location on your laptop under "Computer".
    This will allow programs to open and save files directly to the FTP server just like it was a drive in your computer.
