What brand/model is the WiFi router. If you connect to it (the router) via wifi without the cable being plugged into the MODEM do you get an IP address assigned to the PC by the Router? Don't worry...

Did the WiFI router come from the ISP or is it something you purchased separately. Also which port on the WiFi router are you connecting them modem to: The WAN (internet) port of the Wifi Router or...

What I resorted to doing when I was having issues of devices dropping of the network in file explorer was just create shortcuts to the devices and put them either on my desktop or in a folder on my...

My guess is that previously the OP was either using SMBv1 which would be disabled in this version of Windows or the two function discovery services are somehow stopping (I've had this happen on one...

You sir are 100% wrong about the JumpCloud agent configuring Samba and here is a reply I got from JumpCloud support confirming that, and DIRECTLY contradicting you. So you can take your uppity...

Sorry jimbo, I think you misunderstand... I'm already conversant with setting up a Domain Controller, etc. and do so for the Small Businesses I support.

My NAS comment was only pointing out that...

I have to disagree with you on this. It isn't working for me.

I also have no issue managing the Users and Linux Passwords via the JumpCloud agent for my Linux Clients. That works without issue....

bro67 - Also wanted to add - if you know of any links for configuring Samba to allow JC LDAP to authenticate my Samba Shares that would be awesome! I think I have searched all the docs about this on...

Sorry bro67 - Not sure what you are saying.

I am able to manage users/passwords on both Windows and Linux Clients with JumpCloud agent installed (just you average basic stuff). I haven't had a...

Also wanted to add: If you go with a Workgroup as opposed to a Domain (and it's added expense), I would add the same users to the Primary Workstation as are on each of the Laptops to facilitate...

There are a lot of good post here, but I feel the need to add my 2 bits to the mix.

While a domain (IMHO) is a good way to go, I'm not sure it is necessary in such a small network, especially one...

Did you run the removal tool supplied by Mcaffee?

Here is a link to an article about removing the horrid program (I hate McAffee with a passion). A simple removal via the Add/Remove programs in...

Have you actually tried it to see if it would? I did, and NO it did not work, at least with any of my Android devices that had a mass storage device connected by USB OTG. The only file systen that...

How would it be "easiest" since FileZilla Server for Android doesn't exist?

There is no Filezilla Server (or client for that matter) for Android, so that would be a no go.

In terms of the attached HDD being available to upload/download via FTP (or SMB for that matter), I...

Also wanted to add: One way you could add files to the HDD connected to the x96 box would be to upload the files to the internal sdcard that is available via FTP (assuming there is sufficient space)...

dsscottage,
Here is a link to some ideas about additional streaming apps that you could potentially install on your Box. That being said, and after doing more investigation, I really think the...

Again my deepest apologies for giving you bad advice.

Don't know if this might help, but a possible work around is to just connect and share the external hard drive from your Windows 10 machine....

O.P. My apologies! I think I have given you some bad advice. I just discovered that I can not access any external device connected on the OTG USB port via OpenSSH and that without "root" on my device...

Just want to throw this out to you as an additional option to access your android box from Windows: Install SSHDroid (SSH Server) on your Android Box and access it from Windows 10 with WinSCP (SSH...

Essentially those are "shortcuts" . Does your version of ES have the hamburger menu? If so, expand it and go to "local", then "Device". You should then see a list of folders. Somewhere in that list...

ES File Explore will have nothing to do with controlling any FTP or DLNA settings on teh X96 box. It is just a File Explorer. Any settings for controlling any server aspect of the Box will be in the...

What path do you navigate to in ES File Explorer when you access the files on the attached HDD locally on the x96 box?

Accessing the file system via Filezilla will really depend on what the x96...

Actually Windows Defender is the successor to MSE and works very well, UNLIKE McAfee OR Symantec, which is even more BLOATED and SLOWER than McAfee.






:really: LOL!!!!! That is probably...

That's curious and definitely not my experience. The only update that has messed with my network settings was 1803 (April 2018 Spring update) which removed SMBv1 (EDIT: and Homegroup, but I never...
