Hallo everyone, am sharing Starlink internet connection with my neighbors, the router board mikroTik 1100ahx4 is connected with Starlink for distribution. My question is what are the safely precaution measures should I take on Starlink Connection and how to ensure mikroTik administrator is not accessing the website I browsing and my laptop files. Thank you in advance.

My home network has a number of Win 10 and Linux PCs. All PCs can communicate and share files with each other, except for my main Win 10 PC. It can see and and change shares on all the other PCs but none of them can 'see' it or communicate with it. Attempts to connect with it from within File Explorer from another Win 10 PC using either \\hostname\sharename or \\IPv4-address\sharename fail after some minutes with the error message "Windows cannot access \\hostname\sharename. Check the spelling .... click Diagnose" Running the troubleshooter reports that the problem "Windows can't communicate with the device or resource (IPv4-address)" has been detected. More details report: "It is available but is not responding to connection attempts. A firewall or network security policy on the remote computer might be blocking the connection on port 'file and printer sharing resource'." Over the months that I have been trying to find a solution to this problem I have read and followed many 10s of suggested solutions covering network sharing configuration, system services, hardware drivers, SMB1 drivers, network detection settings, firewall settings, router configuration and so on. Not one of these suggestions has addressed the issue. I now need some advice on where to look for a procedure which will allow me to do effective problem source identification, rather than the current approach, which seems to be trying things at random, without following a properly thought out path to problem determination. Any advice?

No internet access or limited connectivity on Windows? Qureasy’s step-by-step guide helps you quickly troubleshoot and restore your connection.

APIPA (Automatic Private IP Addressing) is a feature in Windows that allows a device to assign itself an IP address when it is unable to obtain one from a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server. This is typically seen when a computer is trying to connect to a network but can't communicate with the router or DHCP server. When this happens, your PC is assigned an IP address in the 169.254.x.x range. While this enables local communication within the network, it prevents access to the internet or other network resources. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the steps to troubleshoot and resolve the APIPA issue.
