What are the rules for shaing and accessing a folder on a local home network?
I am admin on all three Windows 10 desktops.
All are the latest version of Windows 10. I'm on a typical home Wi-Fi LAN. Two of the desktops, let's call them PC1 & PC2 have the same user Let's call that username "a" (where the passwords are the same). On the third desktop, let's call that PC3, there is a user "b". I have the password to both users, "a" and "b". I make sure the third desktop is not in the screensaver hibernation mode. Why can't I share a public share between the three desktops? For the two Windows 10 desktops PC1 and PC2, the netbios sharing works. \\PC1\sharepc1 (or \\192.168.1.11\sharepc1) \\PC2\sharepc2 (or \\192.168.1.12\sharepc2) But I can't seem to properly share the PC3 netbios sha \\PC3\sharepc3 (or \\192.168.1.13\sharepc3) On PC3, I logged in as the actual "Administrator" to create the share. There is no option on PC3 to share to user "a" (that username isn't found). So I shared read/write to "Everyone", including user "b" and "guest". (I don't think I've enabled a "guest" account though, on any machine.) Here are different errors I get when in PC1 trying to access the PC3 sha http://images2.imagebam.com/c0/7c/fc...2957722174.jpg http://images2.imagebam.com/a6/f3/03...3957722194.jpg http://images2.imagebam.com/68/5a/00...3957722214.jpg Rather than trouble shoot those errors, can you just tell me what the rules are? If on PC3 I have only user "b" and "administrator" logins (both of which are administrators) and if on PC 1 and PC2 I have user "a" who is also an administrator, why can't the Administrator on PC3 create a share that I can log into from PC1 and PC2 using the IP address and share name? |

On PC3, as a user, I created a share, which only worked under the very special condition that the share is only allowed to be used by a user "a" who doesn't even exist on PC1 or PC2. But at least sharing worked. Finally. = On PC3, as user "a" (Administrator will NOT work!!!) = I created a share and shared it = Then on PC1 and PC2, which don't even have a user "a" = I was able to log into that share as user "a" Only then did Windows sharing work between the three Win10 PCs. I don't understand why PC3 wouldn't let me create a share for "guest" or to create a share for "Everyone" or to create a share for user "b" who didn't exist on PC3 but who existed on PC1 and PC2. And I don't understand why no sharing whatsoever worked when created by the actual Administrator on PC3. Maybe Microsoft doesn't allow the Administrator to share files? Given it works, I can't complain except to say these rules make no sense. |
