Windows 10 cannot see files on Windows 7 but not vice versa. Please see details; this is different

I have a home network with Windows computers, some running Win 10 Home, some Win 7 Home, one XP, and a Linux running Samba.


Everyone can see and change everyone else's files - EXCEPT Win 10 cannot see Win 7.


To preempt going down dead-end roads, please note:

  • Everyone can ping others by name; i.e., name resolution works fine
  • Everyone, including XP, Win 7, and Linux, can see and change Win 10's files,
  • All XP, Win 7, and Linux machines can see and change Win 7's files.
  • All computers show up in everyone's Network by name.
  • Smb1.0 is installed and enabled everywhere.
  • All Windows machines have the network as "Private", allow file sharing, allow no password, allow short encryption, have all services running, allow NetBIOS over TCP/IP, etc.
  • Firewalls and antivirus have been temporarily disabled.


The ONLY problem is when a Win 10 machine tries to access a Win 7 machine (e.g. \\machine\share): it gets network error


It doesn't even ask for username and password credentials. Just says path unavailable or some such, talk to your administrator.


You have no idea how thankful I would be to someone who can help me fix this problem.

Many thanks!
