network questions

good question, Bergy37

I would FIRST OF ALL START WITH A COMPLETE RESET OF YOUR ROUTER meaning log in with user name and password and rest everything to default it will take up to 5 to 15 mins to complete

then please log in with your oem id and password and go through all your options within the router

Please go to the Routers web site first and research how to perform a complete reset and get the oem user name and password in hand to log inside your Routers options and commands


and you should be fine and good after that process for your first concern

give me a few mins to run your second concern and issue through my brain/cpu its become a long day for me

Back to you again: you should be okay and good after your Router is fully reset and configured to the correct levels and pay attention to bridging within the Router options

 

Google Network sharing & permissions.

 

Your welcome Bergy37

make sure before you get started that you go get all the details user id and pass word and other general info you will need for your rest please<<<<<< don't want you locked out of your own router I will feel terrible

 

Wow, it works, just like what you advised. As expected from top expert of MDL JP2015

 

No John you are the expert

I am happy you resolved it Kido

All the best

Like pisthai said above Make sure you do this on all computers on your network.

 

Click on this PC

Find which partition you want to share, right click on it, select properties, then sharing and then follow Pisthai's instructions.

Do this on all computers.

Reboot both computers

 

Do you, by any chance have Windows 10 1511 installed (10586) on computer2? if so, this version has Network Discovery broken, MS is aware of that... just waiting for them to release a patch... there are tons of post all over the net talking about that, had the same problem, reverted to 10240 and its all good again.
To test its broken just open a DOS window and type: "net view", if you don't get a good response then there you have it.
I bet Computer1 still has either windows 7 or windows 10 ver 10240..
There is a quick fix to it but you need to lower SMB to version1 option in Windows 10... but not recommended...
Just an idea...

as a good response I mean something like this, net view actually lists all the computers in your network/workgroup,
e.g.:

Code:

Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.10240]
(c) 2015 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

C:\WINDOWS\system32>net view
Server Name            Remark

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
\\computer1
\\computer2
\\computer3
\\computer4
\\W8PVR
The command completed successfully.


C:\WINDOWS\system32>

I found this Workaround. It did make some improvement, however, it's still not quite correct.

Code:

STEP 1) Make a batch file using Notepad and type the following 2 lines:

sc.exe config lanmanworkstation depend= bowser/mrxsmb10/nsi
sc.exe config mrxsmb20 start= disabled

STEP 2) Save this file as abc.bat (Do not save it as .txt file, save as all files)

STEP 3) Simply run batch file BY Right clicking it Running as administrator.

(The file will run in flash second.. don't worry!)

STEP 4) Restart you computer. 

After the fix and the reboot:

Crash2009 (XP box) shows up in File Explorer.
Crash2009 is not shown in the cmd window

Close, but No Cigar!

your Network sharing & permissions are setup wrong.....most likely the public file is turn off.

 

It's MS that mess up things.

 

Build 11099 works perfectly. No need to wait for it. If you want just download it and do the in place upgrade.
