Network connections
I have a peer to peer network set up with Win 10 on all computers.
Computer #1 cannot access #2's shared folder going through the open file option on any program that I try. I also cannot save a file onto #2 computer using the save option in any program from #1.
If I open windows explorer in #1, I can open the file or copy/move any file to or from #2.
What am I missing?
I have computer #3 that has no problem opening or saving files from/to #2.
Thanks
Please make sure the network discovery option is enabled on computer #1.
It might be a configuration issue with firewall’s permission on computer #1, check the below services are allowed for private and public network.
-File and Printing Service
-File and Printing Service over SMBDirectNetwork discovery is enabled for computer #1.
Where do I find the File and printing Service?
Hi Bilbo22
You can find the File and Printing Service configuration in the Windows firewall.
- Search and launch windows firewall from the Start menu's search box, and select the Allow an app through Windows Firewall.
- From Windows Defender Firewall, identify File and Printing Service, File and Printing Service over SMBDirect, Allow for Private and Public network as exhibited in below screenshots.
