Lost network after 1803 update

On a folder or folders you are trying to share, right click and select properties. On the Security tab, do you see Everyone in the top box?

Make sure in the sharing options you have it set for Everyone as well.

Well everything seems to be setup correctly from what we have covered so far. I did have to do one other thing before my network would work in 1803. Can you rename one or both of the computers?

If you need to find the option. Click Start and type system

Press enter and on the right side of the window you will see Change settings.

To rename this computer .... Then click Change button and you can edit in there.

If this does not work, try changing the workgroup name on both of them.

You are welcome. Post back and I will think on it some more as well. :)

There are more than 2 services mentioned above need to be run. Let's do step by step:

1. Open Admin command prompt, copy and paste the commands below to run, might get error message if the service is already run and that's OK:
   sc config FDResPub start= auto
   net start FDResPub
   sc config dnscache start= auto
   net start dnscache
   sc config SSDPSRV start= auto
   net start SSDPSRV
   sc config upnphost start= auto
   net start upnphost
2. Double check from Network and Sharing Center on both PC's that they are both have "Private" as current profile
   
   and under All Networks: Turn off password Protect Sharing
3. Make sure both PC's are in the same WORKGROUP
4. Share the drive(s): click on Permissions and make sure "Everyone" is on the list with Full Permission
5. Click on the Security Tab and check as in step 3. If "Everyone" is not on the list, add it with Full Permission.
6. On each PC, run ipconfig /flushdns to renew dnscache
7. Turn off the router for 30 seconds, turn back on to renew the DNS Cache.
8. Reboot both PC's

NOTE: If not already done. It's always better to assign a static LAN IP for each device in the network so that each time you turn on the device, the exact same IP will be assigned to it, this will avoid the delay in connection if the DNS Cache is expired. Log into the Router->LAN Settings and make the IP assignment.
