    Hi and welcome

    What firewalls and antivirus apps do you have running?

    Are you using homegroup for networking?

    Some info on your network setup would be helpful


    thanks

    If you are using workgroups you need to have all these checked for everything to work correctly. For public file sharing you need to have the correct ones checked off also.
