Thanks. That will keep me busy for a while tomorrow.

Both of the Windows 10 computers seem to show both IP versions 4 and 6 enabled. All the advanced settings are identical but sharing in one direction is okay but not in the other direction. Everything is set in accordance with the dummies instructions, except password protected sharing is...

Thanks for sticking with me on this. I see that credentials is all about user accounts. When installing Windows 10, you have the option to use a 4 digit pin instead of a password, and that is our sign-in method. I don't remember ever specifying a password except for my Microsoft account. The...

No. I'm credentials challenged. I got instructions online to learn how to access through user accounts. The windows credentials on the new computer only lists the other Windows 10 computer with what appeared to be an incorrect user name (admin). I edited the user name and password (using a 4...

Thanks for that. My problem computer is also used for online gaming. Typing in the name of the computer on the address bar works for me to access the other Windows 10 computer, but not the router USB. The Windows 7 computer is already visible but has a permissions problem (associated with...

Thanks. If machine A cannot access machines B and C but machines B and C can access machines A, B and C, shouldn't the problem be with machine A?

Thanks for the reply. The new computer has an IP address that matches in the computer's network properties and on the router's list of connections. No problems with ping to router and other computers, 4 sent, 4 received, 0 lost. I can't find "tcp/ip setting" but IPv4 address is correct...

After adding a new Windows 10 computer to my home network and completing all settings to make it discoverable and shared, it does not list other Windows 10 computers for file sharing and is not allowed access to files on a listed Windows 7 computer. All computers are listed for media sharing...

Thanks, I replied without seeing the other answers that came in while I was pondering the first answer. Unless advised otherwise, I will understand that the streaming will route between the two devices only thru the switch. I appreciate the help.

I'm reluctant to call any ethernet switch with all those wires and a power connection dumb, at least relative to me. Should I be looking at a managed rather than an unmanaged switch to bypass the router? Or, the question is: What can I do to get streaming from one device to another without...

If I connect device 1 and device 2 to a switch connected to a router to stream data from device 1 to device 2, must the stream go from device 1 to the router then to device 2 from the router thru the switch?

Yes, but reintroduced somewhat in Windows Explorer by v1903 per VirturalLarry? Can Windows 10 computers access shared files on a Windows 7 computer that has the HomeGroup feature disabled?

Oh, I see that running the Home version. However, I don't have an issue with the Windows 7 computer accessing shared files on the Windows 10 tablet, but rather an issue with the tablet accessing shared files on the Windows 7 computer. I know of no way to make the tablet a part of the homegroup...

What would pinging the tablet from the Windows 7 desktop tell me? The desktop sees all of the other networked computers and has access to their shared files, including the tablet. The tablet sees all of the other computers with access to shared files except double-clicking the Windows 7...
