need bulletproof networking procedure (please!)
Occasionally I need to set up small LANs of between 3 and 6 PCs. They are all Win 10 machines. Some are Win 10 "home" and some are "pro". They have all been updated to the latest build.
The network consists of a router to provide IP addresses, and these PCs. The router may have an internet connection, but sometimes not. The network may be wired, or wireless.
All these machines have to be able to access the public folder of all the others.
I often find that although I --THINK-- that they are all configured identically, sometimes there's one or more machines that can't see the others, or the others cannot see them.
What I would like to ask for here is a "bulletproof as possible" roadmap as to how to configure all these PCs so that they all can see each other's public folder. I am not shy about tweaking settings beyond the usual sharing settings.
THANK YOU very much for your input here.
