  1. Workgroup


    I have Windows 10 version 1903.
    I have a wifi network with two PCs.

    PC b shows PC a in File Explorer but is denied access to C or other drives.
    I have enabled share on the drives in PC a.


    PC a file explorer does not show PC b.

    I have enabled share on PC b.


    How can I access files on both PCs from both PCs?

    I have spent far, far too much time on this problem.

    Thanks for any help you can offer.

    BTW, I have downloaded and installed SHAREit, but I'm not interested in sharing files other than just on my local wifi network.
