Can't connect to shared folder on windows 10 Pro computer from windows Xp Pro computer
have a software program that is very old and running on windows xp pro. The xp pro computer is in a workgroup called "LANDFILL" I have another computer in this remote office (FYI. These computers are on the same network) and it is windows 10 pro.The windows 10 computer is part of the domain and is not on the workgroup landfill. I have shared out a folder on this computer but cannot access it with the xp pro computer. I can ping from xp pro computer to windows 10 computer. I get the errors when I try and do START -RUN - \\ip address.

The ONLY way to get XP to connect to a Win 10 PC is very risky as you have to allow some very unsafe protocols on the Win 10 machine. It would be better to virtualize the XP machine if possible, and use the built in file sharing bits of the hypervisor.

Still need to know how to do this until the win xp pro computer is retired.
1. what is the IP configuration of the Win XP machine? IP address, subnet mask, router IP?
2. could you show the ping results Win 10 from Win XP?

I don't have a ping results page. What are you looking for? I saw it when I ran it when I was over at the remote office.
Just showed a reply from (192.0.0.174 - ip of win 10 pro pc) and TTL

On Windows 10 (logged into an administrator account) Press Windows Key + R and then type appwiz.cpl in the run box.
Then click on turn on or off Windows features.
You'll then be greeted by a smaller window with a list of features that you can turn on/off.
Enable SMB 1.0/CIFS File Sharing Support and then click OK.
This should allow you to access the network share on your XP system
It is recommended to turn off SMB 1 after you're finished as it's considered as an old and vulnerable protocol .

At least this used to work...

Do you have the same user name and password on both computers?
On a separate note, 192.0.0.x is a public address. That shouldn't be an issue with this sharing (though it would be an issue accessing anything on the internet with the same subnet), but it is unusual on a LAN.

Is there a way to check if computers on the network have SMBv1 installed other than going into windows features and seeing if it there? Just curious
Are you using a domain?
If so maybe something like this...
