Hi,· Were you able to establish connection between two computers before?· What is the exact error message that you encounter when you try to access the computer? Method 1:I would suggest you to check in Safe mode with Networking whether you are able to access the computers. Follow the steps mentioned below.a. Restart the computer and keep tapping F8 till you reach the boot menu.b. Select Safe mode with Networking from the list and then press Enter.c. Check whether the issue persists. Method 2:I would suggest you to disable the security software that is installed on the system and check whether the issue is resolved.Note:Once done testing, I would suggest you to turn the security software back on the system and check whether the issue is resolved.
