Cannot access other homegroup files, error "you might not have permission to use this network resource".

Help

I have two laptops 7 Home premium to windows. I created a home group. A computer can see and access each other, the other cannot see, but cannot access the other. When I click the icon from the other laptop, I get the error \\pc is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource...

I checked the password, name of House Group, sharing and discovery of parameters already and everything seems to work. The only antivirus on both computers is microsoft security essentials.

What should I do?

  • "Cannot access working group on some computers running XP - ' < name of working group > is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource ".

    I have a home with 4 PC network - one of them is running Windows 7 Home Premium (with homegroup disabled) and others running XP Pro.  The XP machines is called 'Server' and the server and the computer services browser running and set to automatic.  Two other computers, called "Notebook" and "Dell", as well as the machine Windows 7 have no file and sharing printers enabled and have specifically the Server service is disabled.

    My problem is that one of the two XP client machines cannot access the working group.  Let me be clear about this: I open Windows Explorer and click on "My network places"-> "entire network"-> "Microsoft Windows network", there is then a second 5-10 break and then my workgroup name is displayed.  When I click on the name of the Working Group, there is another ~ 10 second pause and then I get a message that says error " 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 permissions.  A device attached to the system does not work. ', where is the name of my group to work for other days, after some of the computers are restarted, I find that the XP client has absolutely no problem with that; but the other now has this same problem.  In other words, the problem going on between two XP clients.

    Let's analyze: I have Windows on all PC firewall and any other firewall program.  I tried to disable the Windows Firewall and my anti-virus (temporarily), program without effect.  This may not be a problem with the way I've set up my actions because the error occurs when I try to click on the task force rather than a shared resource.  This cannot be a problem with a specific XP client because at different times, each of the two PCs worked perfectly without any changes of configuration made between the two.  It could be a problem with the server settings; but I don't see what it could be.  I tried editing

    HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters and changing

    IRPStackSize from 21 to 45, then 50.  I also tried to change the size of 2 to 3.  I restarted the server and the client XP and had no effect.

    I don't have the same account of user configured on all three machines.  However, this cannot be the issue because the problem occurs when I click on the task force, before the server name is still displayed.  In addition, each of these two XP clients have connected with their existing user accounts at times.

    I tried the Wizzard of configuration network running on all four machines, without effect.  I tried a lot of things, most of which I can't remember.  I'm at the end of my mind.  Help, please.

    JW,

    Thanks for the continued support.

    By the advice of IPCONFIG, I looked at the registry for all computers and found EnableProxy wasn't there.  According to the documentation by default to 0, which is what we want.  However, I added it to all the computers and left it set to 0 and restarted the computer.  The node Type still said 'unknown '.

    Thanks for the info on the master browser.

    The ""Network location cannot be reached"when you access actions."
    the article talks about Windows 2003 Server and none of the symptoms mentioned relate to this situation.

    The "network adapter advanced troubleshooting for Windows workstations" is on hardware troubleshooting.  I think that it's probably not a problem because the computer has no trouble to access the internet, which is not possible if the card network are not working.

    I went through the AutoCorrect entry to reset the TCP/IP stack, even if the article describes symptoms such as difficulty to access the internet...  And...  THIS MARKET!

    After re-booting, the PC that was in trouble can now access the working group.  All other PCs can always too (have not tried to restart all over again).  AWESOME!  I can't thank you enough!

    I re-post if the syptoms happen; but for now, we can consider this issue RESOLVED.

    Thank you 1 million,

  • Win7 computer cannot connect to other computers Win7 network "\\computername is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource ".

    I have a Windows 7 (box A) system that cannot connect to files shared on another computer in Windows 7 (box B).

    • On the 'network card' and 'See the network computers and devices', I can see box B of area A.
    • I can ping Box B of area A.
    • I can connect on MEDIA sharing on box B of area A.
    • Area C (another system of Windows 7) I can connect to the B area and am presented with a box of authentication to connect to the shares (i.e., box B works as it should).

    But the box has double clicking on box B or using \\computername or \\IP_Address the dialog box run, I get the error:

    ----

    \\computername 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 is not present or not started.

    ----

    I know that the system is available, because the area C can access... But something's not on the box... It cannot connect to zone B or C. Box

    I have disabled the firewall on both systems without result.

    I reinstalled the network adapter and Client for Microsoft Networks is installed on the box.

    Yet somehow box's not connection to other computers on the network.

    Any thoughts on what I should check would be appreciated.  Thanks in advance for the help.

    OK... so I was able to track down and get it fixed...

    I found another symptom (that would be a good way to check and see if you experience the same problem).

    In the network and sharing Center, I clicked on "Change advanced sharing settings" in the left column. I found that the radio button under "File and printer sharing" was put on the OFF position.  I started and saved the changes, but when I returned in these settings, it is once again in the off position.

    It turned out that the workstation service is set to disabled (which also caused the computer browser service for not being able to boot). I activated the workstation service, started, and set it to automatic.  Then did the same for the computer browser service.

    Both of these services running, the "File and printer sharing" it will remain actually on IT, and I am able to connect to other devices on the network in the way I had to.

    I can't mark this message as the solution (perhaps because I posted it?) so if someone he will quote as their response to the post office, I'll be able to mark as answer.

  • Error: "\\(PC Name) is not accessible." You might not have permission to use this network resource... The specified network provider is not valid.

    Hi, this is a follow-up to the issue and my second attempt to find the solution. In addition, it is still connected to my first and second positions.

    My laptop that works with Windows 7 32-bit has 2 two natural questions:

    1. I can't access PC's on the network on the laptop itself and thus get an error:
    "\\(PC Name) is not accessible." You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server know if you have access permission. The specified network provider is not valid.

    2. When you make the file sharing Wizard, I get an error "your folder cannot be shared" and the only option is to click on 'Done '.

    I'm trying to share folders to another laptop that works with 64-bit Windows 8 but I think there must be a problem with the Windows 7 laptop. I can share and access all the folders of any laptop before.

    Thank you! Any useful response will be greatly appreciated.

    Cannot add printer homegroup.  I tried everything I can think of without success.  I have laptop which is part of my home group who can't create a link to a printer attached to another computer.  The search for the printer does nothing.  When I try to add manually, when I click on the computer that hosts the printer, I get the following:

    Hi Ryan,

    Thanks for the quick response.

    I suggest to change firewall security settings, or disable the security software on the system and try to access the location.

    Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.
