Hi!
I wonder if this is the place to get help with my issue (not the verbosity one).
I have had trouble setting up file sharing on my home network (wireless laptop + wired desktop, both running Win10 v21H2, with RT-AC66U B1 Asusrt-Merlin v386.5_2 in between) in the past. It seemed to be a thing of the past until I did a factory reset on my router. To all intents and purposes, the only thing that changed was that I switched from 192.168.0.x to 192.168.1.x, but filesharing became one-way only.
That is, only my desktop can now access my laptop, not vice-versa.
I did check the usual services. I did check network discovery services (and whether both PCs see this as a private network). I did try both password- and passwordless access settings. I did try renaming my homegroup. Nothing seems to work.
For completeness' case: my previous issues went away when I switched to password-protected access and added the laptop's users on my desktop. But since nothing seemed to have changed there (only the router setting), I cannot fathom how a previously accessible desktop could have become inaccessible. Changing back to passwordless didn't help.
Any Ideas where to look?
