Question home network

[sussertown]

I created a password for computer 1. When I have tried to connect from computer 2 it worked once or twice. Now it says there is a problem connecting. So I can't get in anymore. Is it because it went to sleep?

sleep

Could be as it won't authenticate if it's not on.

could be DHCP lease renewal and computer 1 no longer has same IP address.

Dear OP I hope that you understand that your post does not realy provide any Networking system info inorder to solve your proble.

That said, if you have a Local network and the two computer are connected to a network device (switch Router etc.) and they are running Windows 10/11

This might help.

If PC is sleep, it won't authenticate unless you wake up though WOL.
