windows 10 Unable to access shares on my Windows 10 Pro desktop.

[Guest Davidsom]

Current Win 10 ver is 1703 Build 15063.483

 

 

I discovered this problem today, but as I rarely access shares/resources on my Desktop from other PCs I cannot be sure how long the problem has been there.

 

 

The Desktop is working well in every other way. Using Netstat I can see that port 445 is being listened to,

 

 

TCP 0.0.0.0:445 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING

TCP 0.0.0.0:3389 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING

 

 

but Wireshark shows absolutely no response when I telnet to that port. Even if I try to telnet to port 445 from within the Desktop itself I get no response. However if I telnet to the 445 port using the 127.0.0.1 address then I get a response.

 

 

I have checked that file & printer sharing is configured on the Ethernet port.

 

I have tried with the firewall turned off.

 

Remote desktop works fine.

 

 

I have searched the 'net extensively and have see 1 of 2 others with the same problem but their solutions have not worked for me. This isn't a tragedy right now, but any help would be appreciated.

 

 

Thanks.
