Error code: 0x80070035 Network error - Windows cannot access \\"networkpath"\"foldername"

Question

I have a laptop that is not seen on my network. I have tried everything to see it from the other computers in the same Workgroup. I have turned off the firewall. and uninstalled Norton Internet security 2010. All my other computers do not have this problem. Everything is Windows 7 pro. I am to a point now where I am going to reinstall Windows on the laptop and start from scratch. Unless someone has a sugesstion. here is some of what I have done:

made sure everyone is in the same Workgroup

Network discovery is on

I can ping everyone from both sides - laptop to PC's and PC's to laptop

I can see homegroups and computers but cannot access them, again from either direction.

Other laptops in the network do not have this problem.

I upgraded the problem PC to windows 7 and that's when the problem started.

Answer 1

• Is folder sharing enabled on the laptop?
• Did you create any shares? Can you post an example of a share name?
• What is the laptop's NetBIOS name?
• What is the laptop's IP address?
• What do you see when you type this command from a Command Prompt at one of the other PCs:

  net use Q: "\LaptopName\ShareName"

• What do you see when you type this command from a Command Prompt at one of the other PCs:

  net use Q: "\LaptopIPAddress\ShareName"

• What do you see when you type this command from a Command Prompt at the laptop itself:

  net use Q: "\%ComputerName%\ShareName"

Answer 2

The result of the last test suggests one of three things:

a) The "Public" share does not exist on the laptop. To find out, run this command from the laptop's Console:

    net share public

b) Sharing is not enabled on the laptop. To find out, launch the Control Panel, then Network and Sharing Center, then Change advanced sharing settings, then check File and Printer sharing.

c) The "Server" service does not run on the laptop. To find out, do this:

1. Click Start.
2. Type the three letters cmd into the Search box.
3. Press Ctrl+Shift+Enter
4. Click "Run as Administrator".
5. Type the following command:

    net start server
