Maybe update everything to W10 and try with virtualization?

Did this use to work? What error do you get exactly?

 

Also why aren't you using a centralized file server? This solves peer to peer related issues like this.

Probably dedicating a single machine to storage for everything and then using ssh/samba or other stuff to get to it is the best thing you can do.
