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

Hello to everyone,

DISCLAMER: This entire list is from my own personal problem with the IPCONFIG Issue and Error 0x80070035, and all the investigation, research and modifications to my personal computer in order to fix it. Please read it and understand it before you do any modification to your computer, as I don’t recommend you to proceed with modification to your system if you don’t know what you are doing. 

I just want to write this because I was in deep frustration some weeks ago and the guy that made this explanation gave a good light of my computer’s problem, later on I kept investigating and finally I made my own solution to this mess.

I don’t know what was triggering the creation of that many 6to4 tunnels but, apparently if you leave the IPv6 enabled in your computer you will get a lot, and the problem with this is that: 1) slows down the boot and start of your computer, 2) everyone in your LAN can see your computer but you cannot see anyone, 3) if you want to shear files among your LAN computers other computers can get your files, but you will not be able to open any computer from you LAN, meaning you will get the famous:

ERROR CODE 0x80070035

So I really give thanks to all the good people that helped me out with this and now I want to make very clear how to solve this problem once and for all for everyone.

If you go to your Device Manager and start deleting one by one as per this video it will take you about 3 to 4 weeks to do it, but it is a good start as your computer will now will load a little faster. 

If you go to the Windows regedit explanation and do the modification as per the following link, you will find that you take away all the 6to4 tunnel thingis, which is not good either.

If you go to the following link and you download the batch file, it doesn’t do anything unless you modify it to create the DisabledComponents file.

So here is the mix match and salad to fix your computer to the horrific ERROR CODE 0x80070035.

Start by going to the Start / Control Panel  on the top right corner click on the View by:  Large icons menu to change the appearance of the options, click on the Device Manager and go to Network Adapters  / then click on the View top menu to display hidden components and you will see all the 6to4 tunnels that you have, uninstall some and just disable some. Up to here I have not anything different from what my good friend is explaining in the video.

Now the problem is that try to disable or uninstall 400 + of them. This is a steady 2 – 3 weeks job, so better to go to:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929852

they have a great explanation of the problem and how to create and modify the DisabledComponents file using the registry editor. Now if you modify this file with the 0xffffff value and shot down your computer, you will wipe out all the 6to4 tunnel adapters in the computer THAT ARE NOT DISABLED, but you need 1 or 2 at least for your computer to be able to communicate and share files, so be careful to make the change to this value, just once you have disable at least two of them. Now shot down your computer and restart probably twice as the first time you will only see an exclamation mark on each tunnel adapter that will be erased.

Then by the second time you have shot down and restart your computer you will see that all the tunnels are gone, but the ones that were just disabled, so now you have to go back to the Registry Editor and modify the value inside the  DisabledComponents to 0

Just for precaution shot down your computer again and this time once you start again go to the Device Manager and put back to work the two tunnels that you have disabled before.

Once you finish all this process, you have win the battle. Your computer will be your best friend again. I hope this is informative and helps someone out there battling with the:

ERROR 0x80070035

Or the 6to4 Tunneling or the

IPCONFIG problem

Answer 2

is there still no solution?

Answer 3

Here is the solution to "error code 0x80070035 network path was not found" on Windows Vista and Windows 7 Computers. Click on the "START" button, select "CONTROL PANEL", and go into "DEVICE MANAGER". Click on "NETWORK ADAPTERS", then click on "VIEW", and select "SHOW HIDDEN DEVICES". In the expanded view you will see a long list of numbered "MICROSOFT 6to4 ADAPTER". My Windows 7 Professional desktop had 200 of them. Right click and select "DELETE" on all but 1 of them. You can only do 1 at a time so it does take a while. When you have only 1 left, restart computer and enjoy being able to see your other network computers, including HOMEGROUP files.

Answer 4

I've had this problem intermittently ever since I installed Windows 7 so I'm convinced it's a Windows 7 problem.  One moment it will be able to see the share on my Windows XP netbook, the next it can't.

There is nothing wrong with the share.  I have checked it over and over.  It's only the Windows 7 PC that has problems with it.

Win 7 also has intermittent problems with shares on a Windows 2000 machine.

I'd really like a solution to this (I suppose Ubuntu is one since it seems to actually understand Windows shares) but since I've seen no substantial response from MS to any of the issues I've raised about Win 7 in the past year, it's seems like a folorn hope.

Answer 5

I stepped through all of the commands at the command line and made sure that "Public" was being shared. When I ran the net start command I got " the Server is already started". I also checked to see that "file and print sharing is enabled. I still get the message " Windows cannot access :\DeviceName - there maybe a problem with your network. <input id="gwProxy" type="hidden"></input> <input id="jsProxy" onclick="jsCall();" type="hidden" />
