Windows 10 File Sharing Nightmare!!
This is crazy! Windows 10 networking is driving me nuts! I have five Windows 10 PC's, one Windows 7 PC that has not been booted in more than two months, and one Windows Home Server SP2 with Power Pack 3 (Windows Home Server Consoles are installed). Two Win10 PC’s are Home and three are Pro. Four were upgraded from Windows 7 and one was upgraded from Windows 8.1. All of the Win10 PC's have the same firewall - Bitdefender Internet Security 2015. I am not a newbie but I definitely am not familiar with running commands. I am able to navigate to and check most Windows 10 settings. My network has me totally baffled.NONE of my Win10 PC's can see all of the other four Win10 PC’s. Some PC's can see only one or two. None of my PC's is visible by all of the other PC's except that the server is seeing all five of my Win10 PC’s.
My most recent upgrade to Windows 10 (July 29) “tells me” “that the computer is not connected to a network” and yet I can see two other PC’s, one of which is the Windows 7 PC that has not been booted in more than two months!
Network discovery is enabled. File and printer sharing is on. SMB 1.0/CIFS File Sharing Support is checked. Windows Firewall is off. Four laptops are wireless and my desktop and server are wired.
Can anyone PLEASE give me a complete checklist, line by line, of every setting to check and what each setting should be so that I can configure every Win10 PC exactly the same way ……
OR, refer me to an existing online checklist?
Thank you very much! I will be forever grateful.
