Two dead standard laptops on a WiFi network, Computer0 and Computer1 - DHCP IP addresses, printer sharing on and password protection off for all computers. But Computer1 simply cannot be accessed over the network. Keep getting "You do not have permission to access...etc. Contact your network administrator" I AM THE NETWORK ADMINISTRATOR!!! Have turned off firewall, reset WiFi adapter, and same issue. Windows Netwoking must be the most buggy thing I have ever encountered. Driving me crazy. Any ideas would be appreciated.

The "You do not have permission to access \Computer1" error usually means there’s a permissions issue. To fix it:

Check Network Sharing: Ensure file sharing is enabled on Computer1 and that the shared folder has proper permissions for your user.
Firewall: Make sure the firewall isn't blocking access.
Check User Permissions: Make sure the user has permission to access the shared resources.
Credential Manager: If necessary, add network credentials via Control Panel > User Accounts > Credential Manager.
