Hi,
Just to clarify: are you accessing the computers via Windows Explorer's network view?
Do the network computers simply fail to appear at first, only showing up after some time?
Thanks.

Computer A is a wired desktop, Computer B is a wireless desktop, & Computer 3 is a wireless laptop all windows 11 & up to date on all drivers & updates. My access to the hard drives on these computers from one another is intermittent. Anywhere from 5 minutes to 15 minutes I will suddenly get access to all the hard drives again, then it goes away again if I close windows explorer. Does not interfere with the internet connections on any of the computer for accessing the hard drives.
Please help as this is very frustrating when I am trying to get or send a file from one computer to another.
