Hellow guys so i install Thai network drive and it works and all with my Ethernet connected computer and shows up and I am able to acces the files and stuff. But when I try to acces the same file on a laptop over wifi I am not now able to find that network shared file

Are you certain that the Wi-Fi and Ethernet networks are the same?

Yes

Certain for sure

Open elevated (run as admin) CMD on the laptop and 1 of the desktops. Run "ipconfig /all" and compared the Default Gateway on each. Ping each others IPv4 address.

I'd recommend setting up a Shared Folder instead of sharing the computer.
