Windows 10 and WfW 3.11 networking.

I had my WfW 3.11 working under Windows 8.1.

Can't get it to work under W 10. I can ping the other Pc.

Any thoughts?

What I want to do is copy floppy disks onto to my 486 Pc and transfer the files to my w !0 PC. USB Floppy drive on W 10 PC is hit and miss when copying

Having re-installed Windows 10 for another reason I was able to connect to the WfW 3.11 machine.

Any old software will never work with Windows. It may work with Dosbox, but you are practically going to be having to find an older machine that will properly handle a 5 1/4 or 3.5 drive. I do not even think that any of the VM's out there even support 5 1/4's or 3.5's.

What I want to do is archive the floppies not use them

486 shows up on my wife's PC :)

There really is no reason to archive them if you plan on never using. Unless there were documents on them that are very valuable, it is more of a hobby. You may get the drive to mount in Linux. But once again you are going to have to play around to see if there is a distro that will even detect a 5 1/4" or 3.5".
