My media players can't access a shared folder on the PC
Hi. I've just had to reinstall my Win10 and have run into a 'sharing' problem which I didn't have prior to the reinstall. Instead of a CD player in the lounge, I have a Cocktail Audio X10 which is a music player with an internal HDD containing my audio files. To get the files there, you have to access a shared folder on the PC. In the past, this has not been a problem but this time my PC seems to be blocking the share.
I've attached a pic of 'Network' (I've created a few shared folders during this saga) - this confirms all the shared folders, yes?
And there's a pic of the settings for the folder I intend to use (full control to Everyone and Guest).
As well as the X10 audio player, I have a Dune video player. Both of them will happily find WORKGROUP/Desktopetc but they cannot go any further than that – no shares can be accessed.
As far as I can tell from my attachments, everything is set up for sharing so can anyone suggest what's going wrong and how to fix it? My sincere thanks if so.
