Network failure with Win10 upgrade

[Toastrack]

I have my main MX11 machine and a Win10 machine which used a Homegroup to talk to each other and read files both ways, no problems.
Then the last Windoze update wrecked all that, and I understand they have removed the homegroup facility.
I have been through the recommended settings in Win10 which are alleged to reopen contact, but all to no avail.
I know the connection is there because my sync-backup program still works fine between the two machines. But MX11 "Network" in Thunar still offers the workgroup name but only sees the MX11 machine.
Please, how can I restore the file read-write option between the two machines??

to access windows 10 shares, I always have to type the share name directly.

Code: Select all

smb://servername/sharename

in the thunar location bar. I keep them bookmarked...

Thanks. But what's puzzling me is the required server name.
W10 sees the MX files fine, but the MX machine doesn't see the W10 files, pesumably because I have not nderstood the corect servername.

After many weeks of frustration I have finally cracked it.
The last Win10 upgrade switched off the required client. Under "turn Win features on and off" I just needed to check the box against SMB 1.0/CIFS option and all began working again.
I hope this helps someone else.
