    Windows home network


    I have a windows home network with some PCs running Windows 10, Windows 7 and Windows XP.
    Initially all of them were working fine, but at some point (I guess after some Windows 10 update) from Windows 10 PCs I cannot connect to Windows XP PCs using the computer name. I have to use the IP address. If I try to connect to a shared folder from Windows 10 to Windows XP using computer name, Windows Security asks to enter network credentials (user name and password). When I do so, it reports "The user name or password is incorrect".
    If I use the IP address instead, everything goes smoothly.
    Besides, I cannot print from Windows XP machine to a shared printer physically connected to a Windows 10 machine.

    :)

    Home can access all other computers, but when I go to access "Home" it asks for password and says wrong password

    Original Title: Network problems

    All computers are Windows 10 4 total

    All computers show up on network

    I can access all computer except Home (Windows 10 Home server)

    Home can access all other computers, but when I go to access "Home" it asks for password and says wrong password.

    The other strange thing is when I go to Network and sharing center, View your active Networks

    2 computers show Zapster network

    1 computer shows Network 2

    Home computer shows Network

    Should they all be on the same active "network"?

    Thanks, but I decided to spend a little more to get a computer locally which has Win 10 Pro installed on it.
