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

Hello Mary,.

  • Cannot access a shared folder on the computer Windows 7 on a Windows Vista-based computer

    I'm having a problem.

    I have a small network in my house consists of three computers.  One is running XP, it has Vista Home Premium, and it has Windows 7 Home Premium.  I usually use wireless networks, but I have the same problem if I use wired connections through my router.

    All three computers can see each other when I display the network on each.  I can ping each computer from other computers.  The problem is that when I try to access a shared folder on the Windows 7 computer from the Vista computer, I get an error window popping up that says:

    \\computer-name 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.  The network location cannot be reached.  For more information about network troubleshooting, see Windows Help.

    I can get in the same shared folder on the XP computer.  I also have to shared folders on the XP computer Vista computer.

    I can also get to the shared folders on the XP and Vista computers on the Windows 7 computer.

    The only problem is learning to the shared folder on the Windows 7 computer Vista computer.

    The folder on the Windows 7 computer is configured to be shared by everyone.  Password sharing is disabled on all three computers.

    Any help would be appreciated.  If there is more information, I can give you, let me know.

    Thanks in advance,

  • Cannot access a shared folder on the network of the virtual machine

    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?

  • 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?

  • XP cannot access Vista shared folder

    When you try to open or explore shared computer to Vista, XP used to have a pop up to enter the user name and password. Now, it displays the files when you click Open or explore but access is denied to one of the folders. How can I get that back to ask for name of user and password? I can access the folder of my Vista laptop (there the pop-up to enter credentials).

    I went back in the folder of Vista I have tried to share and added two admin (only two users) users with full control permissions. All of a sudden I could enter the folder on my XP computer. It does not always ask for credentials, but I can get to the files I need too. I guess that the credentials are stored somewhere on the XP computer and that is why the pop for the user name and password is not displayed? Hope this helps anyone with the same problem.

  • 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.

  • Can access the shared folder by using the name of the server, but is unable to use the intellectual property

    Hi, I need help with a very strange problem.

    I have a Server 2003 domain controller to PC and all the domain user can access any shared folder of the server using IP address or FULL domain name.

    So I joined a R2 of 2012 new server to the domain as a workstation normal and not as a new domain on the network controller, and the problem is that one cannot access a shared folder on the new server by using the IP, but can be accessed using the name of the computer.

    My Admin user can access the folder using the IP address or the name comp. on any work, but the user of my AD position may not use intellectual property.

    I can using Ping IP or name of the computer for every user of AD.

    Please check the attached images.

    When I try to access it using IP, it gives me the following error:

    \\192.168.0.2 is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resourse. Contact the administrator of this server to fing out if you have access permissions.

    Currently, there are no available connection server to process the logon request.

  • 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:

    If you use Norton, McAfee, Trend Micro or Kaspersky I.S., make that file and printer sharing is enabled in THE Firewall (or LAN enabled, depending on how their Exceptions are formulated in their firewall)

    2. In the context menu, select properties and then in the Properties dialog box, click the Security tab.

    3. In the name list box, select the user, contact, computer, or group to which you want to display permissions. If the permissions are grayed out, this means that the permissions are inherited from a parent object.
