How do I share folders between Windows 10 PCs?

Sounds like the PCs do not have file sharing enabled.

I can see all the devices on my network, windows 10, MACs, NAS and printers. I am doing this over Sophos APs and physically connected devices.

File sharing was enabled and worked before installing XG.

Is there an XG setting or configuration that may be blocking file sharing between computers on the network? 

I don't think its XG. I implemented it to my network and I have over 250 users with 30 shares and all work fine.

Have you checked the IP ranges / Share name is the same after installing the XG? Did you change the device giving DHCP?

Maybe the Ip address of the share changed?

Have you tried going to the PC that has the folder and stopping the share and recreating it? Check permissions and also Windows Firewall that its on a Private Network - not Public as this can cause it too.

Then remapping the share with the new name / details?

Thanks for the insights. Can you see anything wrong here?

Should I look at other areas to help troubleshoot?

No idea - is that the same IP range at what was being used by the Netgear?

Does the PC with the shares have the same IP address?

Did you share via IP or Hostname?

Did you stop the PC share and recreate it like I posted above?

Hi there,

Just out of curiosity, did you happen to end up bridging an interface on the Sophos as opposed to plugging your AP into a switch? I have noticed before with Sophos devices that there are issues when you try doing a hardware bridge on the Sophos interfaces.

More than likely he has the XG connection plugged into the WAN connection on his Netgear box and not disabled the firewall function in the netgear.

This is how my netgear is connected to my XG.

In my Netgear 6400, I'm looking for a firewall function to turn off but I haven't found it yet. Perhaps netgear names it something other than "firewall".

That being said, my PCs were able to share folders before XG was installed.

Sorry, I'm new to networking terminologies and I don't know what "bridging an interface" means. However, I did set it up like the picture in the above post.

Sophos XG is the DHCP server for my entire network.

The PCs do have the same IP address that is assigned to them listed on XG.

Yes, I did stop the PC shares and then recreated them.
