Commands:

1. Open Terminal/Powershell on your Windows 11 PC with Admin Priviledges.

2. Copy and paste the following code into the command line and click enter:

   Get-NetConnectionProfile | Where-Object "InterfaceAlias" -like "Zero*"
   

   And check if the network catergory is Public.

3. If the NetworkCategory is Public, then copy and paste this code into the command line:

   Get-NetConnectionProfile | Where-Object "InterfaceAlias" -like "Zero*" | Set-NetConnectionProfile -NetworkCategory Private
   

   Which is to set the NetworkCategory to Private in order for SMB shares on Windows 11 to work with Zerotier.

4. If your NetworkCategory is already Private and not working, that means you have another problem with Zerotier which could be a bunch of factors for you to figure out.
