So I have connected some HMIs together through a network switch but in the Network folder they dont see each other.I can ping and use Remote Desktop to communicate with the HMIs ,but I dont see them on the Network tab.I have enabled the Sif Client but to no avail.How can I resolve this problem?

 

What GUI are you using? Cimplicity or iFix or...?

Hello ControlsFE521 I am using Cimplicity,but I just want to access the E folder from the other PC's but I cant do that,or better yet,there are times when I can see the E folder and times when I can't! I have enabled the folder E to be shared but nothing happens

 

Have you tried mapping the folder from the HMI you are trying to read to?
E folder in HMI1 - In HMI2, Map Network Drive to \\HMI1\E:

So i did make some changes today,basically I ran the the run,typed services.msc and changed there a)
Computer Browser (Browser)

b. Function Discovery Provider Host (FDPHost)

c. Function Discovery Resource Publication (FDResPub)

d. Network Connections (NetMan)

e. UPnP Device Host (UPnPHost)

f. Peer Name Resolution Protocol (PNRPSvc)

g. Peer Networking Grouping (P2PSvc)

h. Peer Networking Identity Manager (P2PIMSvc)
Now I can see everything but for an HMI I cant open it because it tells me that the network path is incorrect

 

Can you ping the HMI with the Edrive you are trying to read?
Have you tried to remap the drive?

I can ping them,also I can control them in remote desktop connection.If I remap them,only from HMI I get the error 0x80070035,which basically says that it cant find the specified address.I see that this is a common problem with Windows 10

 

Firewall setting on the host HMI? Running out of ideas...
Maybe try turning the firewall off of the host and try it?

 

Yes,every firewall is off,it does not help it.Microsoft has dropped thr bag with this one,it makes things very difficult
