Windows 10: One PC not connecting to local network

Hi,

I am using tree WIN10 (and one WIN8) PCs in a network. I'll just call them A, B, C and 8. (8 being the WIN8).

A is the PC where my scanner and printer are attached (USB), and the one with the largest and best monitor, so I do most photo editing here.

B is mainly the "photo server" - a laptop where I attach my camera, store the photo files and administer backup of photo files.

C is a "every day general use" laptop, where I can easily view photos on our television flat screen (guests and to).

8 isn't that important in this, so I'll leave it out for now.

The problem is - A and B connects just fine. (So do 8).
C did use to work, but is not shutting itself out from the network, requiring login name and password.

However, I have checked - there is nowhere any requirement for password. Not in C, not in A and B.

They are all connected through WIFI - one access point and a "repeater" of some sort.

:)

 

Losing network connection

Hello Dear, if you have a laptop or a PC with a wireless network adapter, you can see a list of available wireless networks and then connect to one of those networks. The wireless networks will only appear if your PC has a wireless network adapter installed, the adapter is turned on, and the wireless access point is in range.

1. Click Start, click Control Panel, click Network and Internet Connections, and then click Network Connections.

2. In the left pane, under Network Tasks, click View available wireless networks.
In case, If you don't see the network you want to connect to, click Refresh network list. If you see the network but the signal is weak, move the PC closer to the wireless router.

3. Click the network you want to connect to, and then click Connect.

4. If you're connecting to a secure network, type the security key, and then click OK.

I Hope you solve out your query soon.

 

Connecting computer with no internet connection to network printer

1. Open Admin command and type: ipconfig
   
   
   
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
