    Sharing discs between computers on an ethernet home network


    All the advice in "Support" is about sharing files.I have desktop Win11 with 6 discs and a laptop Win10 which I use when roaming for work. Both are attached to the home ethernet network. I want to share all the files on the discs on both computers for syncing and down/up-loading the relevant data for a task.At the moment, I can see only the Users folders, which I never use.How do I do this?Thank you

    :)

    recognize ethernet ports for computer to computer network

    I worked all this out for a Win7-WinXP direct ethernet computer-to-computer network and later amended it for a Win7-Win7 network. A step-by-step procedure for creating a two-computer Ethernet cable network - MSAForum You can use a crossover cable but do not have to. Doing this in Windows 10 is just about the same as doing it in Windows 7 but some diagrams look different & you have to look around for the equivalent settings in some cases. But I suggest you do yourself a favour and get a router so that it does all the hard work for you. Best of luck, Denis

    Cannot access shared network drive


    I could scream! so much time wasted on this stupid error, as if time is not precious enough!
    It probably would work fine if I could see the other computer! But I cannot see the other computer!

    Ethernet Light Orange/ "Local Area Network" Not in Network List

    Last night I noticed my ethernet light on the back of my computer was orange. I did some research to find the reason. Some websites said it was an increased connection speed. Others said a problem with the connection.
    The local area network is no longer in the list of network connections and the other computer in my house has a green light on the ethernet port.
    I've used all the cmd.exe ipconfig steps suggested by websites. Flush dns, reset dns, etc. I've also used the network troubleshooter in windows10 which told me a problem was not found.
    Nothing seems to change the light back to green. Can someone help me find the problem so I can fix it?
