[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1305014, member: 141969"] Well, it was worth checking the authorisations, but your settings do look correct (although in wandering around various Windows panels I notice that the "Public" folder and its subfolders do seem to be special-cased by Windows, meaning that they may behave differently from ordinary folders). One thing that I have just noticed is that Windows 10 (and probably 11) has a [b]Media streaming option[/b]. Try this: [LIST] [*]Open "Control Panel" (Start button > Windows System > Control Panel). [*]Click "Network and Sharing Centre". [*]Click "Media streaming options" (left side menu). [*]Click "Turn on media streaming". [*]Check that the settings look reasonable (see screen shot). [/LIST] Here are the panels on my system: [ATTACH]218118[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]218119[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]218120[/ATTACH] It is not obvious to me whether this is a server-only setting, or whether you need to repeat it on each of the clients (the wording suggests server-only). -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
