Problem in sharing with Windows 11 and Windows7
Respected Sir, I have problem in sharing of data from Windows 11 and Windows 7 with the help of lan cable and windows 7 shows the error to Windows11 that "There is no computer name found".
Please make sure that:
- Both computers are configured with a unique name (hostname)
- They are having unique IP
- They are within the same Workgroup/domain.
I am having the same problem, spent MONTHS trying to sort it out. Best I've achieved is for the Win 7 PCs able to access my Win 11 pc but not the other way round. I have download and implemented ALL the advice given by you above and many other people, and still it does work. So what am I doing wrong? I have documented in DETAIL every step I've taken, document available for view if I can find out how.
- Did you sort this. I can get files from windows 7 on windows 11 BUT NOT the other way. i.e. Cannot access anything from windows 11 0n windows 7........
Can view and use files from windows 7 on windows 11. All good there!
CANNOT view anything from windows 11 on windows 7 though?
- Long shot, and also sthing a bit silly:
You need public (as in: not hidden) shares on a computer for it to show on others' neighborhood.
Did you share anything on Win 7 that your Win 11 can access ?
