I use the same password on all but each has its own user name such as: Razor-1 , Razor-3-PC and such.
I am using the name of the owner of the pc's when I installed the OS which is me of course as the user names ....
Try setting up a user with the same user name and password on all computers. Make sure that you have a folder owned by that user set as shared. Make sure that all computers are in the same Workgroup.
If all have the same name how is one going to differentiate what pc you're connecting to : such as pc1 pc2 or pc 3
Here is another obstacle I am faced with. As I struggle for info on how to resolve this dilemma, I now find that all PC's have to have this:
"Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6)" .Mine all have IPv4 connectivity . The other says no network access. Kinda stumped as what needs to been done ....
By the share folder/ hdd name.
Examples
Razor-1_pictures
Razor-2_pictures
Razor-3_runabout
Train; I'm kinda dense here. Not sure in how to interpret your Examples. The way I usually access other computers is to click on a Network Icon that I place on my desktop. Clicking on it shows all the computers on my network, including printers etc. In the past using win7 & XP, I would click on one of the PC's & open any folder on that PC that was in the shared mode & have full access. Now when I try to do the same with win10, I get the window to enter network credentials. If I am on say : Razor-1 trying to connect to Razor-3. The window does state to: "Enter your credentials to connect to:Razor-3. The greyed out portion below that has the name; Razor-1 & a spot to enter the password. No workee... Can you give me a little better description on how to exactly satisfy that stupid security window? Thanks for your time..
OK!
Those are example of folders I share, there names so I know what computer and what folder I am looking at.
Learned to do that when I started networking XP.
Be SURE to go in and share the folders you want in each computer.
The path to each computer would be different for the same folder names.Quote:

Examples:
\\RazorPC1\Users\Razor\Documents
\\RazorPC2\Users\Razor\Documents
\\RazorPC3\Users\Razor\Documents
VIOLA ! I finally got them all coordinated. I did not have to change any user names. I first shut down all but one. I reset it to homegroups, entered a new password, then fired up the others & did the same. Now everything is shared among them.. Have a great weekend.............
Good news!
