    hi there:)

    i just upgraded from windows xp to windows 8.1

    on xp all i had to do was share a folder and i could view it's contents from the android smartphone with ES file explorer

    i tried sharing a folder with the homegroup on windows 8.1

    i can see the networked pc but i'm getting a login fail on ES file explorer?

    any idea thanks:)

    Don't use Homegroup just use your own work group. Unless it's been changed recently 'Homegroup' only works with other 'Homegroup' machines
