I'm literally quite confused. After walking through hell and finally finishing building my custom pc, the doors to windows hell opened up. I was so hyped to be finally able to use my rig, for I had waited 3 months already. Once I set it up and running, I noticed that I had no internet. Hence, I checked the problem and it stated that there was "no network drive to be found". I have no wifi chip or whatever, for I wanted to see If I could connect it by cable. I tried connecting it with cable. No luck. It showed the exact same message. However, when I checked my PC itself the cable had bright green LED where I had placed the cable. Any help would be much appreciated. (Btw, It's my first time building and I might need a detailed help.)

You can also make hidden share by adding $ at the end of the name.. Like //My-Computer/D-Drv$
Right click Network in your file manager / map drive , and enter the exact path to your pc name and share name.

Guessing a network share..
You need to open file manager on the other machine to be accessed.. Right click the folder you want to share goto Share with specific people.. Add: Everyone set to read only or full..
U can add admin priv for the a user account on that PC then use that login name and pass for admin rights to it.
