The error you mentioned above from some log, what log is that and on which machine?The Back office can connect and talk to the POS Terminals. The Terminals Cant Connect and Talk to the Back Office.
The log file is from the Back office.
And the PoS terminals can talk with each other but neither can talk to the back office. -

@wrcombs - Sorry if I missed this detail but do all the systems have passwords set on them? Does the back office system have a password?

"Can't talk to" isn't a useful term. that they can ping means that they are currently talking to each other.
You need to use a different description here, something meaningful that would involve a specific protocol.

okay: The Terminals cant Access the Back office files to pull the data they need to run correctly. our terminals are running in a stand alone state however they are on the network for troubleshooting purposes. , we cant path to the back office using
runand using\\\192.168.128.xxx(the Back office IP) Which we can do that on every other site.

The TerminalsSo the POS terminals access the Back Office server by windows file sharing?
Have you tried to connect a laptop and open a network share to the back office server (by using the right IP, username and password)? -

Can even use our VNC Viewer from the back office and get to the POS Terminals, But I cant Get to the files on Back office for some reason.

@wrcombs
Can you try and open the windows share on the back office server from a POS terminal?Either from the windows explorer or from the command line with "net use" etc.
