Agh, spent 2+ hrs remotely trying to set up sharing access from a win 10 to another win 10. The server is visible from the workstation but unable to open, get a network connection error. Heres what I did:On Host:enabled sharing for entire user acct, everyone has permission access, checked firewall, other programs. Don't share the user's folder. Instead put the company files in C:QuickBooks (and have C:QBBackups for the backups).Share that folder for your other QB users.Statically assign an IP to the QB host (server).I am concerned about your slashes and your path.Your path should be something very simple:10.0.1.110QuickBooksEnsure you have entered the correct connection credentials in start run control userpasswords2 advanced Manage Passwords on the workstation.

Ah - then I hope my lengthy response helps someone in the future.Sounds like you have a lot more diagnosing to do.Systems should be connected via switch, not router.Passwords should be in place. For so many reasons.It makes sense to have two WiFi networks (so long as they are on separate subnets). The whole 2.4 GHz WAP and the 5 GHz WAP with the same or near same SSID doesn't make sense to me. Get a good WAP to handle wireless.Regardless, I would look at a different approach to file sharing than sharing out an entire users' profile.

Really bad approach.Either isolate files to a 'DataStore' location (i.e. C:DataStore) or well. I think I've typed enough on this topic without really understanding what it is you have tried and what it is you are trying to achieve.

Click to expand.thanks for all your input, I wasn't the first to enter the escapade, the whole point was to access a single folder on the host from a parts company program, well I think thats going to be the real challenge here, the company already remoted in and failed, saying it was a networking problem.
However when I gave it a go I found the target folder shortcut on the desktop it pointed to a folder only found in networking places with its own ip, not found any where in the hard drive. She claims there is no other server in the office.

I'm going back in this week and investigate again. Ok I'm remoted in now to both machines, its kaspersky antivirus 2016, no firewall settings! Plus I found when logged into their network router an actiontec dsl F2250 there is an option to enable file sharing, i go to switch it on and it asks for 'samba' login and password, nice. The two pc's are connected to the network via ethernet, plus there are two other wifi networks on the router and another network that is simply named the share folder, with its own ip address, but its only found in network places, not in either pc hard drive so I'm guessing a cloud server?
