Two dead standard laptops on a WiFi network, Computer0 and Computer1 - DHCP IP addresses, printer sharing on and password protection off for all computers.

Have turned off firewall, reset WiFi adapter, and same issue. Windows Netwoking must be the most buggy thing I have ever encountered. Driving me crazy... Read more ..read more

My home network has a number of Win 10 and Linux PCs. All PCs can communicate and share files with each other, except for my main Win 10 PC. It can see and and change shares on all the other PCs but none of them can 'see' it or communicate with it. Attempts to connect with it from within File Explorer from another Win 10 PC using either \\hostname\sharename or \\IPv4-address\sharename fail after some minutes with the error message "Windows cannot access \\hostname\sharename. Check the... Read more ..read more

Hello, I have six Windows computers connected to a Synology NAS. The Windows machines run Apache Web Server v.2.46 and have all the web data (logs and root directories) on the NAS drive which is mapped as Z: On three of the computer this works fine and I run one web server at a time. The other three are theoretically identical but won't start the Apache service. The three computers that work all have a red X associated with drive z: The three that don't work do not have the red X... Read more ..read more

Hi all, For some reason using an authenticated SMTP I manage to send emails through my HP MFP machines, but when I use authenticated SMTP it always fails. Any idea why this might be happening? PS: The authentication username and password are 100% correct. Thank you all ..read more

I've set up a direct ethernet connection (not using a switch or router) between two windows 10 computers and was sharing files between them last night, but this morning while I was working with them, the file sharing stopped working. I can ping each computer from the other, but can't see the other computer through Windows networking. Firewalls are still off. Any ideas why this would happen ..read more

My network is a home network that has 4 computers all running Windows 10 Pro. The ethernet network name is "NETWORK". I added two more laptops that had Windows 10 Home when we bought them. I set them up on my network and the network name on them was "NETWORK 2". After upgrading to 10 Pro from Microsoft the name was still network 2. How can I change the network name to "NETWORK" like the other Pro systems ..read more

Can you recommend a specific free migration tool for migrating the file server (windows server 2019) to AWS S3 Storage? Sure Azcopy was on our list, but we can't control the transfer speed while migration, we can not copy any of the long path files, and we can't preserve the time stamps using it. And sure we heard about familiar migration tools /cloud services like Syncback, Cloudfuze, Gs Richcopy 360 ......etc. Most of these need a good budget and we are not ready for this. So please if...

Hello, So, an important thing to know is the fact that I just removed my Dell Latitude's 5420 monitor by unscrewing it and cutting 2 wires because I don't care about this laptop anymore. Now, after doing this, no more wi-fi connections are showing ! I know I may have cut the wi-fi cables and I'm fine with it because somehow I can still use my Mobile Hotspot from my Samsung which is very weird. I tried reinstalling and updating every wifi driver and resetting my ip and every windows... Read more ..read more
