I have three computers on my home network that I set-up to share files. The three computers can see each other, but there is a problem sharing. I will summarize the setup and problem.

PC1: Desktop, Windows 7, connected to network by cable, sees PC2 and 3, can access shared files from PC 2 and 3

PC2: Laptop, Window 10, connected to network by WiFi, sees PC1 and 3, can access shared files only from PC3

PC3: Desktop, Windows 10, connected to network by cable, sees PC1 and 3, can access shared files only from PC2

When I try to connect to PC1 I get "Windows cannot access \\PC1" Network path was not found.

The firewall is set to allow file sharing

I tried mapping the drive using its IP with the same result.

Any help would be appreciated.

Regards

Jon.F.
