Hey all. I have a PC and two laptops (call them A and B) that I'm trying to network. A and B will connect to each other (I can map network drives to shared folders between the two), but my PC is not recognized by either A or B. I have a printer attached to my PC that I want to share on the network so this is frustrating. I can pull up shared folders on A and B with my PC but not vice versa.
Also, I was playing around with some stuff and I noticed that in Local Security Settings>Local Policies>User Rights Assignment>Access this computer from the network, there is a strange entry (looks like *S-1-5-21-484763869....). Is this something I should worry about? Can this be removed without screwing things up?
Also I looked at what ports were listening and it looks like 445 (file and print sharing) is listening. Also 137-139 are used by Windows for networking but only 139 is listening. Could this have something to do with not being able to connect? How do I open others if it becomes necessary?
