Android - Can not connect to PC from Android via ES Explorer
I had the same problem after updating Windows 10. This is what I did to fix it:
- Select the LAN connection of the Win10 PC (under Network tab in ES Explorer. If you deleted it, scan again to get the connection).
- Select "Edit Server" option.
- Enter your Computer name in the "Domain" textbox. Don't change any other thing.
- OK, and enjoy the SMB re-connection!!
I had the same problem. It was with the router. The router was DLink Dsl 2750 u. In wireless basic settings > enable multiAP isolation. That was enabled, I disabled it and I was able to access my pc. Check it if multiAP/multicast isolation is enabled on your router. If it is disable it.
I tried the solutions mentioned above and in the linked thread. None of them worked.
What did work was disabling password protected sharing. This works on Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8.1 and Windows 10
- Go to network and sharing center
- Change advanced sharing settings
- All networks (at the bottom)
- Turn off password protected sharing
At that point I was able to use the ES file explorer scan option to detect the machine. It should show up as grey. Now edit it and enter your Windows 10 account information and you are good to go.
