Sometimes this LAN/SMB “network communication” error also happens if Windows disables guest access after an update. Switching to password-protected sharing or enabling SMB 1.0 usually solves it. I had a similar issue when trying to access shared folders across devices—everything looked fine until I realized Windows had changed the sharing policy in the background.
While troubleshooting, I was organizing some long-term data on my end and needed to verify some calculations for retirement planning. Ended up double-checking contributions with a simple https://deltaxcutor.com/ I often use, and funny enough, I noticed the same pattern: one small setting can throw the whole system off.
