You might not have permission to use this network resource

Question

I search the Internet for solving this problem, I see many solutions and I applied it still no hope. It's not working and I already spend too many hours.

The two computers are connected to same network . Also the IP address of second computer that i tried to access through Run is fixed IP address. It is not changeable.

When i am accessing an IP through Run it showing "PC not accessible you might not have permission to use this network resource."

I can ping that IP address and it's working. But I cannot access that IP. I tried many things like setting permission for everyone, set DNS and IP address automatically, etc. I have seen many YouTube videos, but the solutions are not working. What am I missing ? I tried with another computer in network to access this second PC through IP address, and can access. But from the first computer I cannot access the IP. How to solve this ?

Edit : More details

I fixed the issue, but the next day it is showing the same massage again. But the IP of the computer which is not connected to printer is static, so it is always the same. Please tell what are the possible errors.

Answer 1

The most important thing is to ensure that you turned on File and Printer Sharing on the machine hosting the printer:

1. Right-click on your network icon in the Notification Area and select Open Network and Sharing Center

2. Select Change advanced sharing settings on the upper-left

   

3. Expand the appropriate network profile (typically Private)

4. Select the radio button to Turn on file and printer sharing

   

5. Select the Save changes button (and acknowledge the UAC prompt, if necessary)

In addition to that, Windows network sharing via a workgroup will always work much more gracefully if your have an identical username/password on each workstation. If you are using Microsoft accounts, that part is rather easy and is essentially already done. If not, you will need to create the accounts manually on each machine.

Answer 2

As in my problem, I found the solution. Actualy this thing is related to the MS protection. These are the steps:

1. Go to User Accounts.
2. Click or tap on Manage Windows Credentials. Or, go to Credentials Manager then Windows Credentials tab.
3. Click or tap on Add a Windows credential.
4. Enter the remote server computer name as the Internet or network address (192.168.1.2 in my case), and then enter the user name (root in my case) and password (empty in my case).

I hope so it be useful.
