Hello everybody
I am struggling with my windows 8.1 and the network settings for the last 2 months.
Several guides are available online and even in your forum.
However, I still can not access my shared files from my lan network.
There is always a login username/password requested in order to join but It never let me join and see the files.
If I input any random wrong login username/password it reports an error. Hence, for some reason the authentication part is successful and something else is wrong.
This is maybe a windows 8.1 problem on some restrictions etc..
Any idea how to proceed?
Actions done till now...
Change permissions - added almost everything (users, guests, user, administrator, everyone)
set workgroup to name "domain" or "WORKGROUP" or "HOME"
homegroup only works for windows7!!
Remove the password request check from the network settings
Shared files included in Windows 8.1
Trying to access the files from windows xp, windows 7, linux, android, tv media box...
I will probably add some screenshots soon..
I am desperate for help...
Thanks in advance
