I have the three following laptops all connected to the same network and the same band on that network or, in the case of the Windows machine, connected via ethernet. My router is a Netgear Nighthawk AC1750 and my modem is a Netgear DOCSIS 3.0 340 Mbps Cable Modem.
Laptop A:
Gigabyte 15 inch P35 BWx V4
Intel i7 5th Gen
Windows 10
Laptop B:
Macbook Pro 13 inch 2011
Mac OSX 10.8.5 (Mountain Lion)
Intel i5 3rd Gen
Laptop C:
Macbook Air 11 inch 2015
Mac OSX 10.10 (Yosemite)
Intel i5 5th Gen
I set both Apple laptops up for file sharing with the ability for everyone on the network to read and write to the shared volumes connected to them. AFP and SMB/Windows File Sharing Settings are all enabled.
I set my Windows laptop, in the Network and Sharing Center, as shown in the screenshots provided by the link. I have tried fiddling with these settings a bunch already.
I have no passwords or usernames setup for any of my laptops, and they all login automatically.
Initially I was able to access both Mac machines from my Windows machine (which is what I wanted) without any problem. Then, seemingly spontaneously, my Windows machine began prompting me for login credentials for the Macbook Pro only. There are no login credentials for that machine, so this makes no sense to me. I can still access the Macbook Air just fine from my Windows machine over the network, but the Macbook Pro is inaccessible in this manner. My problem is that I would like to fix this networking error and regain access to my Macbook Pro over the network from my Windows machine.
I have included a link below to a shared Google Drive folder with relevant screenshots and text files with network settings. Thanks for any help you guys can provide.
