I have two laptops, both from work. One is an HP Spectre 360 and another is a Surface Pro 5. Both are set up on my work domain and both run Windows 10. I need to connect the two directly via an ethernet cable and share folders.
I have connected the two devices through an ethernet cable; set the two devices to a Static IP (192.168.1.1 and 192.168.1.3), subnet mask to 255.255.255.0. Gateway and DNS are blank.
Network sharing is turned on, on both devices (although, on the Surface, when clicking on 'Network" in Windows Explorer it still gives an error that Network sharing is turned off).
I can ping each device from the other through the ping command on the command line and I get a response. However, I just cannot Map Drive or type \\192.168.1.X from Run to connect to the other device.
I have tried with both a regular ethernet cable as well as a cross cable. I can ping each device from the other in both instances,however I still cannot map a drive. The error is 'network path not found'.
Any suggestions on how I can resolve this issue?
