It seems every time I reload my computer that has AirVPN on it I have a hell of a time setting up network sharing for specific folders on my own home network with other computers. I am also running Eset Smart Security but each computer isn't showing up as a blocked device on each other so that isn't my holdup.
Ever since Win 10 MS just can't seem to get Homegroup to actually work properly. Surprise they will be removing it with an upcoming update. Wonder why!
So my daily media server is running AirVPN and my Local network is setup as just that a local Private network in the firewall settings in Eset SS. The virtual network (AirVPN) is setup as public.
I've gone through File Manager/Explorer and set a few folders for sharing. Yet my game rig can't access the server under Network/Computer. I'm met with the typical \\Said computer name is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permission. Account restrictions are preventing this user from signing in. For example: blank passwords aren't allowed, sign-in times are limited, or a policy restriction has been enforced.
It's been at least 9 months since I reloaded my daily/media server pc so I can't remember for the life of me what I've done in the past other then I had a direct shortcut link on my game rigs desktop that lead to the media pc which is what is giving me the same notice above.
I can only assume this problem has something to do with AirVPN I just don't remember what I have done in the past to work around it/ get the sharing to work on my own local home network.
