• 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 map the shared folders to the drive letter in WIndows prompt

  I seem to have a problem with the shared folders in a Windows on Fusion 6 client. Turning on shared folders in the VM options creates the "VMWare shared folders" shortcut on my desktop, and I can open and view files shared host, as expected. However, it is not map the shared folders to drive Z: in Windows because I expect, and I can not also go to shared folders using the path "\\vmware-host\Shared records" (for example, only by typing in the address bar in a window of the Explorer). It is a problem, because I need a path that I can put scripts to refer to things in the shared folder.

  Also, if I access network in Explorer, vmware-host is there but trying to open it gives me the error "Windows cannot access \\vmware-host."

  I'm running 6 Fusion on OS X Mavericks, and the guest is Windows 8.1. My .vmx file contains the following lines which I think are related to shared folders:

  insulation. Tools.hgfs.Disable = "FALSE".

  hgfs.mapRootShare = 'TRUE '.

  hgfs.linkRootShare = 'TRUE '.

  sharedFolder0.present = 'TRUE '.

  sharedFolder0.enabled = 'TRUE '.

  sharedFolder0.readAccess = 'TRUE '.

  sharedFolder0.writeAccess = 'TRUE '.

  sharedFolder0.hostPath = ' / users/buck/projects.

  sharedFolder0.guestName = 'projects '.

  sharedFolder0.expiration = "never".

  sharedFolder.maxNum = '1 '.

  For me, the weirdest thing is that I can get for shared folders by using the shortcut on the desktop, but by typing the exact path and the shortcut points to in an Explorer window does not work!

  If anyone has any suggestions on how I could get this works normally, I would be very grateful - thank you!

  Hi Buck,

  Welcome to the community.

  Have you tried to re - install vmware tools in your windows 8.1?

  I think you should activate windows network discovery if you want to browse vmware host in the network.

  You can enable this by

  Control Panel-> network and Internet-> Network and Sharing Center-> the advanced sharing settings

• 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.

• 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,

  Bill

• 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.

  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.

• Cannot access the network drive after trying to change the shared folder.

  I had a 80 GB drive connected to my E3000 for a few years and it worked without problem. I recently turned to a 250 GB Maxtor One Touch drive. When I plugged it, the router automatically creates a shared folder. I was able to connect to this folder without problem, but I wanted to share the whole score. When I made this adjustment and tried to save the settings, I temporarily lost access to the router. He gave me the standard page cannot be error message appears. When I got access changes seem to be made. When I try to access the drive of my laptop I get this error message, "the mapped network drive could be created", "the name specified network is no longer available". I rebooted and power rolled my router as well reconnected the drive.

  I think that since you have replaced your hard drive, old settings are configured may still on the hard drive of old. You can change the users and group so that it syncs with the new hard drive or start from scratch (reformat the hard drive).

• CANNOT write to files in the shared folder of XP on a PC running windows 7 - but good vice versa

  I have a laptop under Windows 7 (SP1) and a desktop running XP (SP3).  I have connected both via a wireless network. While I can see and access shared files/folders from one computer to the other computer, I can only read/write files in the shared folder on the portable computer that is running Windows 7.

  If I try and change a file in the shared folder from the PC under XP on my laptop, I get the message "this file is set to read-only. Try again with a different name "."  I know that the file is NOT checked for read-only. When I change the name of the file I get the error message "\\Desktop\SharedDocs\filename.doc you are not allowed to save in this location. Contact the administrator for approval.  You want to save in the folder my documents instead? "If I save the file to another location on the laptop under Win7 it save then OK.  I can not just save a modified version of the file in the same shared folder from desktop running XP.
  It seems that it must be something to do with permissions and access to the parameters of the desktop running XP but I can not find these. Fairly easy to find in Windows 7.
  Finally, I don't have a login/password set for the connection to the computer to Office XP.  I don't have a user name and password for the laptop Win7 but you have turned off password protected sharing.
  Anyone have a solution to this?
  Thank you

  OK - the problem is now resolved.

  I noticed that the read-only for the shared folder has been checked. When I unchecked it and also checked the box "allow network users to change my files" in the shared folder properties/sharing, I was able to modify and save files in the shared folder on my laptop.
  It's a little weird because I thought I had done this the other day where the results have been less successful.  Strange.
  Thanks for your help.
