    Hello,

    The error code 0x516 usually indicates that there is a problem with the authentication process. This error can occur if the credentials you are using to connect to the other computer are incorrect or if there is a problem with the network connection.

    To resolve this issue,

    Check that the network connection is working correctly. You can try pinging the other computer to see if it responds.

    Besides, we recommend you can refer to kevintryon's solution from this link:

    Hope this helps.

    Best Regards,

    Hania
