The ADSL router is connected to a switch in another room (actually an ADSL router with DHCP disabled) Off the switch there are 2 more PCs, PC-3 and PC-4 From PC-2 I can ping all the others. They get their address from the ADSL router On WIndows Explorer the other 3 PCs are shown on the Network tab I cannot connect from PC-2 to PC-1, likewise I cannot connect from PC-3 and PC-4 to either PC-1 or PC-2 The error shown is "Windows cannot access" \\PC-1 cannot be found PC-1 and PC-2 run Windows 10 Enterprise PC-3 is Windows 7 Professional PC-4 is WIndows 10 Enterprise Network share is on Drive and folders are shared for "Everybody" with full access Network discovery is on Workgroup is the same for all The network does not have a Domain Checked all the cables with a network cable tester, all 8 lights come on in correct order All the PCs can access the Internet The ADSL router is 192.168.1.1 DHCP on the second router is disabled I note that Windows 10 no longer has a Homegroup facility Have not fiddled with the Registry Thank you [/QUOTE]
