HP Slimline Desktop - 290-a0045m

Windows 10 private network is making me crazy.

I have tried all the Microsoft instructions as well as many on-line help videos and can't get the network to work properly.

i have three computers. They can all see each other on Windows Explorer. 

Computers A and B can access each other. 

Computers B and C can access each other. 

Computer A can access Computer C but C can't access computer A.This is a real problem because the printer is connected to A and can't be accessed by C.

Computer A is connected to the router via ethernet.  The others use WiFi.

I feel that this should be easy but I have been unsuccessful.

===============================================

 

Least complicated:

Connect the printer to your network and install the full driver printer software on each computer in that network.

 

 

From Microsoft:

Shared Folder Permission Settings

 

When all else fails, the issue is perhaps a permission problem in the shared data folder.

 

File Explorer > Navigate to the folder that will be used to share the data

Right-Click on the folder > Properties > Sharing > Advanced Sharing

Click (Select) Share this folder

Click (Select) Permissions

Beneath Allow > Check each box:  Full Control, Change, Read

Click OK to save changes
