        got it i use the ip adress of the pi like you said, now it connects via winscp, so everytime i want to access my PI files like i used to via Lan network , i will have to use winscp until my Lan works again??
        and in case i cant connect on winscp always check the SSH enable right....

          @jborges SSH shouldn't disable itself so you're good on that.

              @jborges gamelists are in

              /home/pi/.emulationstation

              You may need to enable hidden folders in WinSCP

                  yes i did \RETROPIE .....always worked before

                  but what about \\RETROPIE?

                  //retropie

                  Syntax? Are you actually typing it in correctly? with the correct number of characters as your posts seem to change.

                    @rbaker I don't know how his is, but when I type \\retropie on my phone and submit my post, it removes the first '\' and makes it look like \retropie.

                      Hey, seemed best to renew this thread as it's the #1 thread found on Google for this issue:

                      I'm also having this problem and it's quite vexing. I used to be able to type this in File Explorer and have it work fine (it's even there as a quick link under Network, but doesn't work any longer. I can easily get to the system by typing the static IP it's on: 192.168.1.41. File Explorer instantly connects to it, so does Filezilla and Putty, but typing the hostname doesn't work.

                      C:\WINDOWS\system32>ping 192.168.1.41
                      
                      Pinging 192.168.1.41 with 32 bytes of data:

                      Ping statistics for 192.168.1.41:
                          Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss),
                      Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
                          Minimum = 0ms, Maximum = 0ms, Average = 0ms
                      

                      I'll be darned if I can figure out how you guys highlight stuff in red to be able to type the double-slash, but that's what I type.
