Zarking hell, so much is going wrong.
I'll start with the positives: I've repurposed the Lenovo “IBM” ThinkPad T60 as a comic book reader. It was previously used exclusively for MemoryMap, but a second offline use for it seems sensible, mainly because I want to (attempt to…) repurpose the HP Stream as a file server being as how the Bush tablet refuses to stay connected to the network. The HP is currently running Windows 8(!) so I'll try installing Windows 10 IoT.
The old desktop is up & running but being weird about network sharing. It seemed to work (I think) but then I changed the computer name to something that wasn’t immemorable gobbledygook and another computer on the network can't see shares from it. Name-change-related? Who knows.
Then I tried sharing from the HP to the desktop: nothing.
From desktop to Dell laptop: nothing.
From Dell laptop to desktop and HP: nothing.
Either the computers don't appear, or Windows claims usernames or passwords are incorrect, when I know they're not.
I think I'm a little tired of it all; it's especially draining because when I tried it on the Bush tablet, all the sharing worked straight away (I could even access the shares on my phone) so for it not to work on all these very capable computers is quite disheartening.
Turned them all off for today; maybe I'll look at it again when I have more energy.
