    Print and file sharing is online but not responding


    The remote computer isn’t responding to connections on port 445, possibly due to firewall or security policy settings, or because it might be temporarily unavailable. Windows couldn’t find any problems with the firewall on your computer.

    File and Print Sharing resource (MyIP to share) is online but isn't responding to connection attempts.

    Hello,

    I have been receiving an error when trying to reach my shared directory from my PC that states the following:

    "File and Print Sharing resource (MyIP to share) is online but isn't responding to connection attempts." I've been sharing this directory for a long time and it suddenly just stopped working.

    I'm finding that I can access shared directories from other servers but I cannot share directories from my PC. I have file and print sharing turned on and I've used Windows Network Diagnostics for troubleshooting which is where I got the error "File and
    Print Sharing resource (MyIP to share) is online but isn't responding to connection attempts."

    Thanks,

    David

    Windows 7 File Sharing Errors

    Afternoon,

    I have a PC that I am currently working on whereby I am entirely unable to access network shares.

    I've followed all the steps I found online regarding the configuration but am still unable to do so.

    The PC in question (M1 henceforce) is running Windows 7.

    Firewall is off and shares are configured.

    On this PC if I navigate to \\M1 I see the list of share

    If I click any of the shares, I get an error (file and print sharing resource (m1) is online but isn't responding to connection attempts.

    The remote computer isn’t responding to connections on port 445, possibly due to firewall or security policy settings, or because it might be temporarily unavailable. Windows couldn’t find any problems with the firewall on your computer. )

    This occurs when on M1 navigating to M1

    If on another PC (testing using a PC called M4) I go to \\M1; I get the above error without being able to see the list of shares.

    Reversing the process (sharing on M4 and navigating from M1 to \\M4) the issue does not occur.

    Can anyone offer any suggestions?

    Thanks in advance

    File and print sharing

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting your query in Windows 10. We appreciate your interest in Windows 10. We
    understand that you are not able to print and we do apologies. I can help you with it.

    For better understanding of the issue, please provide us following information:

    • Which build of Windows 10 are you using?
    • You can try uninstalling and reinstalling that software and check.
    The issue you have reported usually occurs if the drivers needed for the device are not installed properly or if the drivers are not compatible with the Operating System.

    I would suggest you to visit manufacturer's website and install the latest available driver for the device .

    If the drivers for the device are not yet available for Windows 10, hence I suggest you to reinstall them in compatibility mode.

    Follow the steps below to install the driver in compatibility mode and see if it helps:

    • Right click on the setup file of the driver and select
      Properties
    • Select Compatibility Tab
    • Place a check mark next to Run this program in Compatibility mode and select the operating system accordingly from the drop down list
    • Click OK and run the setup.
    I would suggest you to visit manufacturer's website and install the latest available driver for the device in compatibility mode.

    Hope this helps.

    Please post back if you have any questions. We will be glad to provide you with the additional options.
