I am dealing with a client's computer that needs to have a directory shared out so that the HP AIO printer can send scans to his computer.

  • The computer is not on a domain, as the workgroup (the small business) has only two computers.
  • The shared directory can be seen from the same computer, but not by any computer beyond that one.
  • The computer is on the network, jut to make that clear. DHCP & can be pinged just fine.
  • Network discovery and file sharing is turned on, even for guest networks.
  • I have also tried to connect to the share both with and without the firewall running, no success either way.
  • The share itself is a very simple one, with no username or password set and “Everyone” having full access.
  • The NetBIOS name is short and clear.
  • This is a brand-new computer with almost nothing additional on it.

Suggestions? From experience I know it’s not supposed to be this difficult… Either I am missing something big that suddenly cropped up in v1803, or something else is getting in the way.

As I know, from windows 10 1709 the SMB over NETBT, has been removed.I think it means that if you only want to use the 139 to share the folder, it will fail. So,make sure that the tcp port 445 is not blocked.

Meanwhile, if you can see the sharing files by \ip or \hostname. make sure that the following services are running, so that you can see them in network.
1. Function Discovery Provider Host (remote pc want to see the sharing on the network) 2. Function Discovery Resource Publication (local PC published the sharing folder)
