Hi Kimzi.
Yes, all very weird.
I could access the Temp folder from the Win 8 machine even while the scanning isn't working.
I just tried leaving the Homegroup on my PC to see if it changed anything, but no joy.
I use ESET Smart Security 7, and I have talked to them previously and disabled the firewall but it did not make any difference.
There was something funny with Homegroups a while back, that you could not connect if the date/time on the PC's were out of sync, which they were and when I altered them then all PC's could join the homegroup. Is there somewhere on the Xerox I can check or alter the date and time ?
Thanks
Stephen
