Hi all. Could you please help me for the following:
I had 2 Windows XP PCs connected via a workgroup. I added a new PC running Windows 8.2, soon upgraded to Windows 10. All 3 PCs coudl share files and printers without trouble. I recently added a 4th PC, running Windows 10 as well. And it does not work anymore. Each Windows 10 PC can access any other PC of the little network but the XP PC's do not "see" the Windows 10 ones. It is not a workgroup problem, nor a file sharing problem.
I found someone on the net who had had similar problems and talked about modifying the firewall rules to have all connection to port 139 blocked. I believe there is some competition between port 445 and port 139. But I do not understand very much what is meant here. If someone could help, I would be grateful. Thank you very much !!! France
