Laptop doesn't detect shared folders from my PC
I am lost... spent a lot of time on this but can't figure out what might be wrong.
PC and laptop, both Windows 10 x64.
Both connected to a router (Asus AS-RT88U, FWIW)
Wired. I removed cable from the laptop and it switched to WiFi, it made no difference.
On both .. I did the following:
1. Windows Features: Enable SMB direct
2. Windows Features: Enable SMB 1.0 (not really necessary for new pc's)
3. Windows Explorer: Tab View->Use Sharing Wizard: Enabled
4. Win-R, Services.msc: Function Discovery Resource Publication - set to Automatic and Started (they show 'Running')
5. Win-R, Services.msc: Function Discovery Provider Host - set to Automatic and click Started (they show 'Running')
6. Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network and Sharing Centre->Change Advanced sharing settings:
Under Private (Current Profile)
a. Turn ON Network discovery, tag "Turn on automatic setup..."
b. Turn ON "File and Printer sharing"
[Save changes]
Under All Networks:
c. Turn ON sharing so that anyone with network access can read and write files in Public Folders
Under File Sharing connections
d. select "Use 128-bit encryption..."
Under Password-protected sharing
e. Turn OFF password-protected sharing
7. Win-R Services.msc: SSDP Discovery, set startup type to Automatic
8. Win-R Services.msc: UPnP Device Host, set startup type to Automatic
Source for item 7+9https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/...over-a-network
9. Win-R Services.msc: DNS client is running
Now, on the PC only
10. R-click folder to be shared, Properties, tab Sharing (status is 'Not Shared')
-click on [Share...]
-in panel "Choose people to share with", select "Everyone" from the dropdown
-Permission level: change 'Read' to 'Read/Write'
-click on [Share] at the bottom
-done + close
with this I assumed the folder would be visible on the laptop.
This is what I got.
Note, I also tried a firewall reset.
Is this a router issue?
Should I set something in Windows Firewall?
Or did I skip something?
Thanks!
