    Glad it worked. I just setup a new internet service and it asked me and luckily I had it in my notes from the first time...

    Anyone have a trick for setting up a network share in windows 10 with a networked PP controller to move g-code?
    I see everything on my network but the mill. I can see the mill is connected to router and working but no way to connect to any windows 10 system.
    Any pointers would be great.

    What version of PathPilot are you running?

    Current, I keep it updated. I'm thinking its windows 10 problem and some past windows update disabled some network functions. I have no workgroup anymore as mentioned here, or its hidden.

    I would check your SMB settings in Windows 10. If you go to the control panel > Program and Features. Select the turn windows features on and off Path Pilot v2.0 Network (Samba) Share Not Accessible-control1-pngand then make sure that the SMB functions are checked.

    I have seen this effect network connections between Windows 10 and other SMB connections (Windows Server 2003 and 2008,etc).

    Still found no way to get this working!
    Tormach posted a video on how to do this and it works for them. Perform the same setup on my machine and network and I get no connection and a smb error.
    I check the above setting and they are ok.

    Any Ideas what Im missing? Should be simple to connect a computer to a network. "I have dozens of devices connected- this is only problem one" I see settings for drop box file service under admin, lol, never would use such things.
    But a simple file transfer in my home is not possible?

    Default "workgroup" name is on all devices I have. No documented way to set or change this on pp.

    Hey thanks Rdsi You were on the right track.

    Tormach sent me a long list of things to do to get it working.
    Silly I spent countless hours trying to get this to connect. When all it takes is some simple instructions that could be in the user manual or other online documentation.

    However, if you have multiple machines like both the mill & lathe, or some other combination, each machine needs to have a unique name. Even if you're running PP in a VM it will need a a unique name too. Otherwise you will have a problem if any two instances of PP are running with the default tormachpcnc and you have them networked together.

    So I've been using the following for my machines & VM's: PPMILL, PPLATHE, PPDEV, PPVBOX1, etc. Typically I use all uppercase for the NetBIOS name & lowercase for the hostname. Yes, sometimes I have them all turned on.

    Thanks for the note, Tormach also mentioned this. I must say Tormach tech support sent me perfect instructions to fix problem. +1 cookie for them.
    I had messed with this for last couple months off and on, wondering if it was my firewalls or what.
    Turned out some of the PP smb settings needed editing and the actual procedure for logging the drive was detailed correctly. 30 seconds later it was working just fine. Anyway I had a bunch of projects and even more files then normal and this usb thing was driving me nuts. Using the sneaker usb net also caused an error the other day. So I decided to figure out the problem, period. I have a fully hard wired home, garage that is all gigabit high speed plug and play. So I understand the tech.



    Also a note on a line of text attached to email from tech support

    Any chance you could post those instructions here?

    I'm currently struggling to get Windows 10 to recognise the PathPilot controller. I have the 2 machines wired directly via ethernet. PathPilot seems to be connected in the 'ADMIN NETWORK' dialogue, (although it's not connected to the internet in the 'Status' tab).

    Windows 10 fails to Map Network Drive. The controller name and path are correct. I've tried turning the firewall off.
