I have all my media on a Windows 8 Pro (64bit) desktop. I have the drives that I want to share set to "everyone" and "full control". I set them in the advanced sharing tab.
My other desktop on the network can connect and access all other drives, folders and files just fine. I don't have a password set on either desktop and I'm never asked.
The problem is with the other devices on my home network. None of them can access my desktop. A few Android phones and tablets and a Patriot Box Office media player. I'll get a pop-up asking for a login and password or it just won't connect.
I've turned off the firewall in Windows, my AV and the router...no change.
I've mess with so many settings I can't even list them all, nothing works.
I've been troubleshooting for days and can't figure out what to do next.
Any ideas what to try? Thanks
