Windows 10 and older machines

Bonjour

I am trying to help a local machine shop here in France

They have a VM3 from 2007 and a VF8 from 2017 that currently communicate with an old Windows XP based PC. They wanted a 2nd PC added to the system which I have done but the new machine (Dell workstation running Win10) only sees the VF8 on the network, I cannot access the VM3 apart from being able to ping its address and/or name.
Software versions are:
VF8 100.16.000.1041
VM3 M16.03C

Does anyone have any thoughts/suggestions ?


Thanks for any help

Simple,
Use and dedicate the xp machine to serving the data to the machines as is,

Use the new Win10 machine to generate the data.

I use XP on dell optiplex for reliability.
And keep spare 32bit machines for this use.

Thanks but they would prefer that they could use both PCs with both machines
