Can't see inside other PCs on network
I posted this originally in the Insiders section --but got no response -- so I'm reposting it here.
I have a Win8.1 PC that I use as a file server, so I regularly connect to it, using "tried and true" accessing techniques that have worked fine for years.
I set up the drives on that PC using Advanced Sharing so that "everyone" has read access to the entire drive (all folders) and "everyone" also has read/write access to specific shared folders on each drive. This has worked fine for years, without problems.
This includes my desktop, which is running Win8.1 and Win10 Pro.
Then recently, I rejoined the Insider program and installed the Insider build on a separate drive in my desktop. Current build is 15031.
But, in the Insider build, I can not network to the file server. Every attempt is met with a demand to enter a password! The popup says Enter network credentials and will not work with any passwords I give it.
I have disabled IPV6 in the adapter settings because I read those can cause problems -- but I really need to get this working.
Can anyone help?
