I cannot access the shared folder from other laptop (acting as server) while the other pc on the same network can access it. I have the same settings as other pc has. But everytime i try to connect it shows " an extended error has occured"

    Hi,

    Thank you for reaching out. Just to check, Is the laptop that cannot connect set to “Private” network and has network discovery and file sharing turned on?

    Thank you,
