  I have Windows 7 (32 bit) on the desktop connected to Windows Vista Home Premium (64) on laptop via the cable network. On laptop, I am running XP Pro SP3 on a virtual machine. While I can access a shared folder on the desktop via the laptop, in the virtual when I go to the computers in the workgroup, and even if I see the same files and printers shared on the laptop, when I click on one of them, I get a message that
  Desktop\Documents is not accessible. In the virtual, I have connected network bridged with replication verified physical network connection status. On the desktop and portable (host), I can access folders in the virtual (name-letters and numbers). The shared folder on the desktop is shared to everyone. What Miss me?

• Cannot access any shared folder on the network of windows 7 Professional

  Hello

  I have a very strange problem.

  I have a home network with 4 computers.
  I can share files from any computer to the other.

  Recently, I bought a new laptop Lenovo E530 in with Windows 7 Professional installed on it.

  The problem is that I can't access any shared folder on my home network by '\\com-name '.

  I cannot yet access the folders on the computer that is shared from the inside, by specifying there name with the prefix "\".

  However, I can ping or even make remote desktop on other computers on my network.

  I can also access shared folders on my Windows 7 Professional from other computers.

  Looks like there is something wrong with the configuration of my OS from Windows 7 Professional blocking access to any shared folder on my network.

  I get the following error message:

  Windows cannot access \\comp-name

  Check the spelling of the name. Otherwise, it could...

  Error code: 0 x 80070035

  The network path was not found.

  I tried to use the button to diagnose, but without success.

  Help, please

  Dudi.

• I can see other computers on a network of peer to peer windows XP but cannot access their shared files and the shared printer.

  I can see other computers on a network of peer to peer windows XP but cannot access their shared files and the shared printer. The computers are connected by a switch, fixed IP addresses that are correctly configured and point to a DNS server outside the network. When I try to open the icon for one of the computers, he asked for credentials. I try to type the user name for the computer that is sharing the resource and the password. It is the user account whose computer is loged on and belongs to the Administrators group. for example: user name (Computer1\username) password (password). It does not work. The Windows Firewall is disabled on all computers. It worked well there 2 days. I can't find anything wrong with the network settings. Does anyone have a solution? Thank you.

  If the portion of the machine has activated - Simple file sharing (i.e. it is XP Home or it is XP Pro with Simple (default) file sharing) - while all file sharing connections authenticate as user 'guest '.  It will not matter what username / password you provide, it will attempt to authenticate as 'guest '.  If the guest user has received a password or the guest account is not active, you will experience the symptoms you describe.

  If the serving machine running XP Pro and Simple file sharing is disabled, then you should be able to connect by specifying the user as computer\user and the password to connect.  To turn off Simple file sharing:

• Does not access my shared folders on the computer windows 7 from my xp pro laptop

  I have an operating system windows 7 on my main pc and xp pro on my laptop. When I try to access the files on my main pc (windows 7) from my xp pro laptop wonder a user name and password. Yet when I do it the other way round I have full access to any password ect. I have set no password and tried my home group password but not yet all joy. I have 2 other laptops, both running windows 7 and no network problem between all windows systems 7. all computers are running norton firewall and are configered the same.

  Would love a fix that makes me NUTS!

  Problems sharing files between computers on a network are usually caused by 1) a misconfigured firewall or a firewall neglected (including a dynamic firewall in a virtual private network); or (2) inadvertently run two firewalls such as the firewall of Windows and a third-party firewall. and/or (3) do not have accounts to the same users and passwords on all computers in the workgroup. (4) tries to create actions where the operating system does not.

  In Windows 7, go to control panel > everything in Control Panel > network and sharing Center. Click on "change the advanced sharing settings. You do not use the homegroup unless you have all Windows 7 machines . Windows 7 network type should be 'Home' or 'Work', not 'public '. In sharing advanced:

  Discovery of plug in the network
  Open the files and printers sharing
  Turn on the sharing section Public folder sharing
  Plug the password protected sharing

  A. configure the firewall on all machines to allow traffic to local area network (LAN) as being approved. With the Windows Firewall, turning on window file sharing and printer as the above will take care of that for you. In XP, you can run the Network Setup Wizard or just enable file sharing / print in the Windows XP firewall exceptions. If you are not running a third-party firewall or you have an antivirus/security with its own firewall component program, then you're fine.  With a third-party firewall, I usually set up the allocation of LAN with an IP address range. E.g. would be 192.168.1.0 - 192.168.1.254. Obviously you would substitute your correct subnet. Refer to the safety of any third party program or the user forums for how to correctly configure its firewall. Do not run more than one firewall. DON'T STOP FIREWALLS; CONFIGURE THEM CORRECTLY.

  (B) to facilitate the Organization, put all computers in the same workgroup. This is done from the System applet in Control Panel, the computer name tab.

  C. create the counterpart of the user accounts and passwords on all machines. You do not need to be logged into the same account on all machines and assigned to each user account passwords can be different; accounts/passwords just need to exist and to match on all machines. DO NOT NEGLECT TO CREATE PASSWORDS, EVEN IF ONLY OF SIMPLE. If you want a machine to boot directly to the desktop (a particular user account) for convenience, you can do this:

  Start > Search box > type: netplwiz [Enter]
  Click continue (or provide an administrator password) when you are prompted by UAC

  Uncheck "users must enter a user name and password to use this computer". Select a user account to connect automatically by clicking on the account you want to highlight and press OK. Enter the password for this user account (when it exists) when you are prompted. Leave blank if there is no password (null).

  XP - set up Windows to automatically connect (MVP Ramesh) -http://windowsxp.mvps.org/Autologon.htm

  D. Si one or more of the computers on your network are XP Pro or Media Center, turn off Simple file sharing (Folder Options > view tab).

  E. create share as you wish. In Windows 7 I usually share the Desktop of the user and the Public directory.

  F. you have the job of file sharing (and tested by exchanging a file between machines), if you want to share a printer connected locally to one of your computers, share of this machine. Then go to the printer mftr Web site. and download the latest drivers for the correct system. Install them on the target machines. The printer must be collected during the installation procedure. If this isn't the case, install the drivers and then use the Add Printer Wizard. In some cases, printers must be installed as local printers, but that is beyond the scope of this answer.

• Scan cannot access a shared folder on 10.11.5

  I shared a folder on OSX 10.11.5.  The permissions are correct.  I can access the share from a Windows machine (he asks credentials and is REALLY slow to display files), but when I try to scan a document to sharing it errors every time.  It worked until recently.  I'm 100% sure that the credentials on the scanner are correct.

  Just so there is no confusion I created an account on my scanner on a network (which is on the same subnet) with the same references as those of a user on the OSX machine.  The sharing is visible and accessible in writing from a Windows machine.  When I scan from the scanner (A Konika Minolta Bizhub) it says "error: unable to connect to the server."  This isn't a matter of connection/permissions because when I change the credentials, I get a different error message.

  Any ideas?

  So you're probably aware that Apple has changed the version of SMB used 10.7 and later and as a result many multifunctional no longer able to scan to a share on the Mac via SMB. I know that KM has released a fix for some of their machines that made this work again. Since you mention work recently, I assumed that it was a Mac OS x 10.11.x. Is this correct?

  If Yes, then on the KM, you can navigate to sharing Mac instead of using the address book entry? If you can, and then using this function, you should see the Mac and when you select it, you should get a prompt to authenticate. If you specify the account name on the Mac, that needs to be enabled via system preferences > sharing > file sharing > Options > Windows, then the password file sharing, is the shared folder appears? You get an error at this stage, or when you first select the Mac?

• Cannot access a shared folder

  I have a network that uses a multude of different types of computers with different operating system, but most of the positions are Win XP or Win 7.  I am able to access a drive on the part of all but one.  The error I get is "the specified network name is no longer available."  I don't know that the problem is with this post to work.  I have it plugged into a port that is well known on the switch and had the same problem.  Also, I took a well known computer and added to the port that the computer problem was related to and was able to open sharing.

  There is no unusual entries in the event logs.  Other troubleshooting steps: update drivers NETWORK adapter and the Bios as described in the troubleshooting guide.  Also, I tried to connect using different accouts, including those with local administrator permissions.  The computer is Windows XP Pro, 32-bit

  Any ideas of what to check next would be greatly appreciated.

• Cannot access a shared folder so that it can be mapped

  Hi and Merry Christmas,

  When I try to share with its UNC address \\server\sharefolder a folder, I get a sayinng error message "\\server\sharefolder is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions.  A device attached to the system is not functional. "When I try to access the folder shared by its IP address, I get the same error. But if I have mapped to the shared folder as a network drive, there will be no problem even though I have another question that I describe in my previous post. If I try to browse the shared folder of a XP machine I'm not one of the mentioned problems. The workstation and server that I'm talking about are all members of an Active Directory domain. Anyboy can help me solve the problem?
  TIA

• Cannot access Internet through IE in the merging window (WinXP Pro)

  Fusion VM loaded on my new MBook Pro with Snow Leopard. You can use Lotus Notes in a Windows environment. Cannot get mail, so I check if I can even access the Internet through IE in XP and voila, no access.

  Ideas?

  Have you checked the network adapter settings in the virtual machine? Try the NAT and connected by a bridge to see if you can get IE to open a Web site.

• Cannot access a network share on the host

  Hello

  I have a shared folder on the host (Windows 7 x 64, 8 GB RAM). I'm unable to access this part of the guest VM (Windows XP x 86). In fact, I can't locate the other computer in the network (Win7) or "Network Neighborhood" (Windows XP), although the two computers are on the same workgroup. I have to do something really stupid. With the help of VMware Workstation 7.1.0. If you want to provide me with more information, I would be happy to do so.

  Thank you very much in advance.

  These requirements are:

  -NetBIOS must be enabled (TCP/IP properties)

  -No WINS server must be configured (it is the case)

  -Node type should be B or H (ybrid) (reactivate on reviews)

  -No packjest NetBIOS must be filtered (disable all firewall)

  -Microsoft Networking and file sharing and printing must be enabled in the connection (which seems to be the case)

  -'Computer browser' service is running

  -'Server' service is running

  -Connection (not XP) must be set to 'private', not 'public '.
