Using XR500 and unable to connect to shared PC with file explorer
Hello, I have been working on this for awhile now, I am using the XR500 DumaOS 3.0 beta .120 build but I doubt that is the issue. I am guessing it is a DNS issue somewhere but after searching...

Hey John,
Thanks for all the information! Could you give us a better idea of your environment and where your PC and the remote PC sit in it?

Netduma-Liam My reponses are not getting posted, trying a 3rd time. I am sooooo sorry I thought I replied to this several days ago.
PCs:
G11CD
Digital Storm build
Both running Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 Professional (x64) Build 19042.928 (20H2)
Modem: Motorola MB8600
Router: XR500 v2.3.2.120 beta
Cables: cat8
The 2 PCs are about 6 feet apart and the modem and router are on a table about 2-3 feet away from the PCs. Everything is hardwired pertaining to this scenario. There are wireless things but not involved.
Router changes
IP of router
both PCs are in the IP reservation table for another test of the router device manager
QOS disabled per suggestion from messing with the router e-mailing logs I have been messing with
IPV6 enable auto detect
DNS set to Cloudflare and Cisco
I think that is it, holler if you need more.
Thanks,
John
