Cannot Setup Network Share On Windows 10

[EricTrujillo]

Team,

 

So I have 2 computers on my network, my recording computer (PC1) and my Storage Server (PC2). Both are running Windows 10 Pro, with PC2 running Windows 10 Pro N, not sure if that matters, but its worth mentioning.

 

Now on PC1, I set up a network share that I can access from PC2 to grab files from and store on the server, and that works flawlessly, However, I cannot see the server on my network from PC1, so I can't store files from my recording computer directly onto my server. I'd have to physically get up, go to my living room, and turn on my TV and drag the files from the recording computer, which is not what I want to do.

 

Anytime that I make a shared folder or anything on the server and I type it in as a network location on my recording computer, I get an error that says the following:

 

 

Network Discovery is turned on with all of the necessary permissions and I even turned off Password Protected Sharing, as this is on my private network. So what do I do here guys? What am I missing? What am I doing wrong?

do yo know the IP address of the computer?

just put the IP \\192.168.0.XXX\share_name

if not working disable firewall for a while to test.

Yeah I've pinged both of them successfully.

Yes

Ok, I'll create one, does it matter which computer I do it on?

Hey so both computers were a part of the same workgroup and they are still having the same issue.
