Windows 7 network drive displayed in the command window, but not in Explorer!

Hi all

I have several problems with mapping network drives between W7 x 64 business computers. All computers entirely patches, are part of the same network and home group (which is not part of a domain) and I'm looking in the file share on the shares created on the primary computer.

Share 'Backup' (for example) on the primary computer has all necessary for the 'Me' user access rights, which exists on both computers and is active. When I try to map a drive to the action using the Explorer, I get the error "the folder you specified is currently mapped using a different user name and password... "even if nothing is currently connected to this computer and the command" net use * / d "returns no entries.

Using an admin command window, I can not able to map any drive sharing using "net use x: \\mainPC\Backup/user: me mypassword" command. The disc is available in this order, but DO NOT SHOW IN EXPLORER window! (Sorry, I am really angry now). Dir command shows all the files, I can create folders and copy things under the command window, but the command 'Start x:' returns the error "x: refers to a location that is not available...". "(pull the hair!)

Your help with this problem is greatly appreciated.

Ray!

What you observe is by design. Mapped network resources are visible only in the session that created them, but not in other sessions. What makes them universally visible would be a breach of security.

  • I can map a network drive by using the appropriate credentials, but access is denied (by default local account for navigation)

    I have a laptop running XP SP3.  If I connect locally to the laptop and you try to map a network from a server drive on my network, it invites me for a username and password that I offer and the player must then be mapped.  The problem is that when I click on the new player, I get an access denied message.  It tries to connect to the share with my local account that has no access privileges.  Previously it tempt me a username and password, but apparently, I changed some security settings and it doesn't do this more.

    The same thing happens if I use the command net use.  I can map the drive by providing an appropriate user name and password, but I can't browse it in windows Explorer.  I really want to understand the context that controls if you get a prompt when you access a resource on the network.  I think that it is related to the setting of security strategy for network access: sharing and security for local accounts.  I played a bit with it, but in vain.

    I realize that I could probably add an account with the same username / password for my local account on the server and give access to my file shared.  I don't want to do that.  I have several users who share the laptop and access the local account access (I realize this is not ideal, but it is inevitable at the present time).  I don't want to have access to this network share.

    Can someone help me get my login prompt?  I searched on google for the last 2 days trying all kinds of suggested solutions, but I couldn't find one that works.

    Too bad... I was hoping that was the problem.  But at least it now asks you a name of user and password :-)

    Apart from that, you could look to make sure that NetBios over TCP (NetBT) is enabled on the client.  Deactivation of this force a direct hosting of SMB which sometimes has problems.

    "Hosting of SMB over TCP/IP direct".
    <>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/204279 >

    Your latest comments seem to point to a followed initial connection or bad connect more or maybe you is not authenticated as expected.  A few quick tests, I did showed that if you connect using TCP/IP address instead of the computer name and specify everything, including the scope of user name online net "use", it reduces the network traffic needed to establish a connection.  As a test on a client, from a command prompt, try a syntax such as:

    NET use * \\192.168.1.10\share /user:192.168.1.10\username password

    Where "192.168.1.10" is the IP address of the server, 'share' is the name of the action that you want to connect to and "username" is the local user on the server to which you authenticate you.  If you use domain identification information, substutite for "192.168.1.10" domain name in the "/ user:" part.  If you log to a local account server from a name of user and password graphic prompt, try to including the name of the computer and the user name in the user name as in Nom_ordinateur\Nom_utilisateur area.  If it does not, unless there is really something wrong with the access permissions, I'm out of ideas.

    Good luck

  • new hard drive recognized in the device mgr but not my computer how to format?

    You use the disk for this purpose.

    Hello

    Background-attachment is the culprit, you also had two background images specified, so I deleted the redundant style:

    H1 {}

    do-family: Arial, without serif.

    font size: large;

    margin-bottom:-9pt;

    top of the margin: 6 pt.

    padding-top: 5px;

    padding-left: 5px;

    make-style: normal;

    background: url (arrow.gif) non-repetition low left.

    background-color: buttonface;

    x-next-type: P;

    }

    Just replace the H1 with the code above, and you should be all ready to go.
