    pc1 - work pc, domain, running win10 pro
    pc2 - home pc, workgroup, running win10 pro (fresh install)
    pc3 - home pc, workgroup, running win10 pro

    All are connected to home WiFi, and are visible in networks window
    WiFi is set as private network and file sharing is enabled for private networks

    pc2 can access pc1 and pc3
    pc1 can access pc3 but not pc2
    pc3 can access pc1 but not pc2

    While accessing pc2 from pc3, this is the error

    So, I tried the following code and it worked.

    Code:
    net use * /del
    net use \\ip-address /user:username password
    For pc1 the error is different

    and the code is not working as well

    Can someone guide me as to what I should do next?

    Enable SMB V1.0 and share a folder for each pc. Try again.

    Just one a small note - sometimes people forget that all these computers must be available on the same Wi-Fi network at the same time, and sometimes you forget that you need to add everything to the firewall rules.
    Personally, I have been using FileZilla Client and Filezilla Server for this purpose for many years just because then it is very easy to use different versions of the OS on the same network.

    Won't be able to install 3rd-party software on work PC.

    Any other suggestions?

    Is it not working because client (pc1 here) is a domain PC and server (pc2 here) is workgroup PC?

    It worked for the other workgroup PC (pc3 here)

    Code:
    net use * /del
    net use \\ip-address /user:username password
