    Sharing files over home network Windows 10


    I have always been able to share over home network, one Windows 10 PC let's call it Bill and one Windows 8 Ben. Since replacing Windows 8 PC with new W10 I'll still call it Ben I am unable to access Ben from Bill, but fine the other way round. All permissions are set correctly, network discovery is switched on and I've run every troubleshooter I can find with no joy. When attempting to access Ben, pop up appears stating I do not have permission to access \\BEN.. contact network administrator to request access.

    Bill is connected to Network via WI-FI, Ben via ethernet, never been a problem previously. Can anyone help please????

    :)
