It doesn't make any sence. But we've got 3 pc's with W10 Pro, and 2 laptops withy W11 Pro. They all get an IP address from our router, depending on their MAC address. The 3 pc's and my laptop have shares, and can see eachothers shares. No problem. The W11 laptop of my wife can see all shares of the other pc's and my laptop. But my laptop and the pc's can't see the shares of my wife's laptop. Fokke
