Odd issue with a Win XP PC with SP3 in a company network. The computer can browse to the network shares using the UNC path via the run command, but can not map a network drive to the same path. Explorer says the path is not valid or can't be found, but the account has no issues accessing the share via the UNC path. At one point this worked fine as there are existing drive mappings on the computer, but none of them work any longer saying the the location is unavailable.
I'll start by explaining my setup. I have my desktop computer running Windows 7 Ultimate x64. I have a home server running Windows Home Server 2011 Vail. I am trying to map a network drive from Windows 7 to the hard drive in Windows Home Server. The issue is, I'm unable to set permissions.
I setup the share by right clicking the drive and click "Sharing", then advanced sharing. Click permissions, and add my username (HOMESERVERKeith), and give the account full permissions. Hit apply a couple of thousand times. I go to my desktop, right click computer and click "Map Network Drive..." and fill in all the details. Folder is set to HOMESERVERMovies HDD. Because the user "everybody" doesn't have permission, I click "connect using different credentials." For the username I type in "HOMESERVERKeith", and of course type the password. I don't get an error, the login box just shows itself again. There is no permission error, no incorrect password, it just prompts for another login.
I've spent several hours trying to see if it's even worth trying to upgrade my old Thinkpad i1400, which has Windows 98 and only a modem internet connection. Obviously in today's world it's wireless or nothing. So...I've read that I could upgrade to Windows 98SE, and on [url]... the used disk is only about $15. I also read that 98SE has a lot of glitches. However, I already have an XP disk (don't know how I got it) but it may be corrupted, because it never finishes the installation on the thinkpad---goes completely blank after about 10 minutes. One problem is the limited hard disk space on the i1400 --- about 2.5 GB for both the C and D drives respectively. There is less than 1 GB on the C drive free and XP takes up almost 800 MB. I'm afraid to wipe clean Win98 and replace it with XP, and for some reason I can't install XP to the D drive. Even if I could accomplish this, will XP be the magic bullet that gets me wireless on this dinosaur of a laptop?
Two physical drives. Drive 0 has two partitions C and D. C is operating system (XP Pro) and D is data only. Drive 1 has one partition F and is used for internal backup. Drive F can be set to be shared. Partition D on Drive 0 will not accept sharing. It reverts back to the $D admin share after setting up a new share. The icon (hand) that indicates shared drive does not appear either. I assume there is a registry setting that has drive 1 blocked, but am unable to find it.
there is one 1.desktop with windows7 professional and one 2.laptop with windows7 ultimate both are attach with cross cable no1 desktop's IP is 192.168.0.1 and second 2.laptop's IP is 192.168.0.2. the problem is that no1 can access files and folder from no2. but in same way when no2 is trying to access his shared drive he is unable to access
Since the upgrade by Cisco I can only see Win7 PC's on the network. I can not see the USB drive attached to the E4500, nor can I see my Media server which is Linux based nor any Win XP computuers.
WD essential 2GB hard drive connects OK through cisco connect but when I click on the shortcut or try to access the drive I get access denied duer to permission to the ip address
I bought a seagate USB hard drive today from Target. Its a 2TB and I was going to use it via USB attached to my router. I connected it and the Linksys firmware detected it and I was able to create the appropriate folders on the drive for storage through the linksys GUI.My issue is that I am now trying to move my movies and tv shows over to the drive and it isn't allowing me to do that.
I get an error message that says "You don't have access to //myshare. contact your administrator".
I'm not sure why I was able to create folders on this drive but am unable to move files to it. Makes no sense to me. Write permission is write permission no?My machine which currently stores the media files is windows7 utimate. The router is E3000 using up to date stock firmware.
My WLSE 1030 hard drive failed and I have replaced it with a new drive but when I boot from the 2.15 recovery CD the disc boots and runs, within the console connection I get the error "ERROR: version information not found in flash" the disc is the ejected and the system reboots.How can I reload the system software.
I'm currently in college, and do most things with my laptop, and I have wifi just about everywhere. It has a generous 500 GB of storage, but I'd like to store non-essential files on, an external hard drive. However, lugging around 3 TB of storage isn't exactly feasible, and with my experience with my current 1.5 TB portable drive, me running around everywhere with it bouncing in my bag is just going to abuse it until it stops functioning (which it has...)[URL]
I'm trying to share my drive thats on my desktop PC to my Netbook. But I want it to show up on my netbook like a local disk drive. Is this possible? Would I need a software for this and if so which one?

I am currently using a backup program that I thought would back up from any location including a NAS drive but this is not the case. The backup program does not show the NAS drive directory... I was just wondering if there is a way of making a NAS drive appear as a local drive. I've mapped the drive and created symbolic links for it as well and it still does not appear. I was planning on using the iSCSI method but I believe my NAS does not support it.
We have a user that works from home and connects to our network through a VPN when she needs to access files on our server (mapped as a shared drive.)I created a new shared folder on that same server and she can't map a drive to it. It just continuously prompts for username/password.She is running Win 7 Pro, server is Server 2008. The server is on a domain, she is not. She already has a mapped drive to a different folder on the same server as well as to a folder on another server. We are trying to map using the IP address (\IPFolder) and have tried putting the username as IPUsername and just Username with no luck. Tried mapping with net use. Found some stuff online about changing some registry values - tried that. Change the network type from "Home" to "Work" and still no luck.
We have a network drive and it's ip is 192.168.1.3. We have created different users with different permissions for each folders. I have a problem in mapping the network drive in each computer. I can map each folder in them though.I access the drive using run command \192.168.1.3 and it displays all folders. I map the folder but don't know how to map the drive itself.
A program is installed on our server, and I run it on my pc by mapping a network drive to the server's hard drive.I'm sure you all know this procedure.Anyway, I can access the shared drive on the server from my pc, browse, create and delete files on the server, all fine.But, when I try to map the drive, it says:"Windows cannot find 'WEaXA.EXe'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again."And its only on my pc this happens, on all the other pcs its working fine. And from my pc I can map any other shared folder/drive.
One of my Laptop, I cannot see the Network Share Drive from My Network Place. I am using DNS320 Dlink. But I can ping and I can access web base go inside Network Share drive management. But when I try to ma \sharedrivenamefolder, "Error code 0x80070035 Network path was not found ". I already restart the network drive, router and this computer also cannot. Last time we using vbscript to set at startup and let it map automatically when window boot up every day. Other PC with XP all can access. I cannot upgrade vista to 7 because it's from remote site. But now why cannot I don't know what happen with Fuzzy Vista home.
I have a Windows XP SP3 PC and want to map a drive on it thorugh my wireless network The wireless network has a router (SpeedPort W 701V) that connects to internet, this wireless network is password secured (WPA personal) and open to any device that knows the password.
I've seen some supposed 'tutorials' on this but they differ quite a bit: do any of you know for sure how to map a microsoft skydrive folder as a network drive so that clients can use it as a 'normal' way of sharing files?the same question could be posed for Google Docs - I guess these are competitors/equivalent in aim.
In my office I have set up a NAS server which is connected to a Netgear VPN router. When I try to connect remotely I can open the VPN tunnel but when I try to access the network drive, it says the network path cannot be found.
Is it possible to Map a Network Drive over a VPN?Users in my company connect to a remote site using VPN (PPTP) and i am wondering, can i map a drive to the PC i am on from the remote network while connected to VPN?
Today we lost access to our external hard drive (T:). We got the error "An error occured while reconnection T: to \192.168.1.254share Microsoft Windows Network. The local device name is already in use. This connection has not been restored" Do I have to Re-Map that Network Drive?
I have a 1TB internal SATA HD that I want to turn into a network drive. Since the MB in the desktop I had this drive in fried, I'm looking for options to network this drive (that stores photos, music, utilities, etc). So far after brief research, looks like my most reliable option would be an external enclosure with USB and a router with a USB share port.
-what other options do I have? -what would be a good wireless N/G router with a USB share port, great range or range extender option and can handle multiple devices online (xbox, ps3, wii, droid phones, 2x or more laptops, wifi Tv all not connected at once, but a few can be, so I need a router to handle the demand) -a good reliable external enclosure
I need a router that has a good strong signal. The current G router I have (d-link di-524(?)) works ok, but the signal cuts out in the kitchen and virtually non-existent in my garage (to use Pandora on phone).
I am trying to run Windows XP in a Virtual Machine on my Windows 7(64bit) system. I have a Windows XP cd, but my cd-player is broken. I shared a cd-player on a different pc and am able to access it as a shared folder. I tried copying the files to my HD and making aan ISO out of em. This worked, but my Virtual Machines(VMware Player & Oracle VM VirtualBox) don't detect it as a windows install, also tried to mount this ISO. detect the original XP cd with one of these VM's. But in order for this to work I have to make my system think that the cd-player on the other pc is part of the local setup,
I have a server which has multiple NIC's.NIC 1 is connected to the network / internet etc.NIC 2 is connected to a NAS drive.Obviously I can access the NAS drive from the server, but how can I access the NAS drive from devices on the network i.e. on NIC 1?Is it possible to access the NAS from a different subnet?
I know it is possible, but how do I set up a hard drive to share on a LAN? Current setup is a MBP and iMac sharing a linksys e2500. I would be shooting for at least 1TB for shared usage but that can be worked out later.
