@uma_dharmaraj, Welcome to HP Support Community,
Thank you for posting your query; I’m here to help by guiding you through steps to resolve this issue
Turn On File Sharing on the Server PC
Go to Settings > Network & Internet > Ethernet.
Scroll down and click Network and Sharing Center.
Make sure Network discovery and File and printer sharing are turned on.
Share the Folder on the Server
Right-click the folder you want to share, then click Properties.
Go to the Sharing tab, click Advanced Sharing, and check Share this folder.
Click Permissions and give full control to everyone for testing.
Log in with the Correct Credentials
When you try to access the server, make sure you're entering the correct username and password for the server PC.
Restart Both PCs
After making changes, restart both the server and your PC to make sure everything works.
I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
