Network work group: 1 W10 pc ver 1909 build 1863.720
1 W10 laptop ver 1909 build 1863.720
1 W7 pc

The W10 pc can see all 3 hard drives on the W7
It can see the os hard drive on the laptop but does not see the data hard drive

The W10 laptop can see all hard drives on the W7
It cannot see any of the 4 hard drives on the W10 pc.

The W7 can the os hard drive on the laptop but does not see the data hard drive
It cannot see any of the 4 hard drives on the W10 pc.

Tried everything I could find in the forum but have not resolved the issue.
As normal, I need a little guru help!

Have you followed this tutorial. Share Files and Folders Over a Network in Windows 10 Tells you exactly how to do it.

Yes, everything is pretty much as Brink's tutorial but I did find another issue that I need to resolve as to using the Share Tab. I have not noticed since the 1909 update but I no longer have a share tab. So far none of the recommendations to bring the Share Tab back.

Had storageman not brought up Brink' tutorial, I may not have revisited it and realized that I had no share tabs.
Finally found a solution:Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Shell Extensions\Blocked
Delete "f81e9010-6ea4-11ce-a7ff-00aa003ca9f6"
Reboot and share tab is back. I can now share drives and they are accessible.

Sounds like your problem is fixed !

The reason I mentioned Brinks tutorial was because I had this problem and that Tutorial solved it.

Good to hear - Mark this thread as FIXED.
