    Problems accessing my other PC over the network using the PC name


    When I try to access my other win11 both are win11 I have an error using the explorer link where the list of networked PCs appears. But if I try to access the explorer using \\ip\folder the connection is perfect. Service look correctly .Any idea ?

    Error: Windows cannot access \\PC-Name, you do not have permission to access this pc. Contact your network administrator to request access, while trying to access one PC from another over network

    Hi,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    I understand that you are facing issues while accessing one PC from another PC over the network. For further clarity on the issue, please respond to the questions below.



    1. Are the entire PC’s running Windows 10 1809 build version?
    2. Have you tried accessing the PC using IP address of the PC?
    3. Are the PC’s connected to domain network?


    I certainly appreciate your efforts in trying to resolve the issue by performing certain troubleshooting steps.



    However, I would suggest you to refer the suggestions by

    Deleting old pc name from network

    Many thanks, Sangeeta. Your suggestion worked.

    Have an additional problem. For some reason, our "HomeNetwork" lists one of our pc's twice - under 2 different names. Both pc names work, in that I can access the desired pc by "clicking" on either name. I'm ok with it, but I'd really like to get rid of
    one of the entries. Do you - or any colleagues - have a suggestion to help me do so?

    Thank you again, & hope you have yet another solution for me.

    Steve

    Issues while accessing PC over the network

    Hi Cliff,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    I understand that you are facing issues while accessing the PC’s over the network. For further clarity on the issue, please respond to the questions below.



    1. Have you connected both the laptops to the same network through which the PC is connected?
    2. Which build version of Windows is installed on the PC’s?


    Refer the article
    Which version of Windows operating system am I running?



    Meanwhile, I would suggest you to try connecting the PC to the main router and see if you are able to access the laptops.



    If you are able to access the laptops, then we need to configure the network settings once again. You can refer the suggestions by
