Windows 7 Network Error Code: 0x80070035 Windows cannot access\\__

Anonymous

Let me state at the outset that I have had these two computers successfully networked in the last two weeks, but they will not stay networked. This machine is running Windows 7 (64 Bit) and the other machine is running Windows XP Professional Service Pack 3, 32 Bit. Both computers are set up to share everything in their C drives. The XP machine has a D drive that is also set up to share. In the last two weeks I have copied files back and forth between the two machines on all the drives. Both computers still show up under the network folders for each machine. Both computers are set up on the network with a workgroup name of HOME. I have run the Network Troubleshooter on the Windows 7 machine and it does not detect any problems. The Windows 7 Computer is named NEWCOMPUTER. The Windows XP computer is named OLDCOMPUTER. I have also shut down the firewalls and Virus protection programs on both machines. Network discovery is turned on for the Windows 7 machine. File and printer sharing is turned on. File sharing connections are set to 40 or 56 Bit encryption. Password protected sharing is turned OFF. Windows is allowed to manage Homegroup connections. Using the services.msc command, I set the Computer Browser properties startup type to automatic, the Server properties to automatic, the SSDP DEiscovery to automatic, and the TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper to automatic.

When I initially set up the Windows 7 machine, I tried to share the whole C drive with the Windows XP machine, but Windows XP would give an error message that said "Access denied you may not have permission..." So I went into the Windows 7 machine and had to set sharing and permissions to full control for everyone for every folder in the C drive. Then the Windows XP machine was able to open, read, and change every file on the Windows 7 machine other than System files. Now, when I click on the OLDCOMPUTER from the Windows 7 machine I get the error message "Error Code: 0x80070035 Windows cannot access\OLDCOMPUTER. When I click on the NEWCOMPUTER from the Windows XP machine I get the following error:

"An error occurred while reconnecting Y:to\Newcomputer\C: Microsoft Windows Network: The Network path was not found. The connection has not been restored."

A GUEST account is also set up on the XP machine. I am running a Netgear RP614v4****wired 4 port router that is connected via Ethernet cables to a Satellite Broadband modem. There is also a printer connected to this same router. Both computers can print to the printer via this router. Both Computers can access the Internet. They just cannot access each other.

I do this solution that I meet mentioned error (0x080070035);

it occure between xp & 7 sometimes

so in Start type secpol.msc

go this path -> local policies -> security options -> network security: Lan Manager ...

-> choose second choice -> Send LM & NTLM- use NTLMv2 session security if negotiated

maybe OK

Hi Mike Sutherland 777,

Welcome to Microsoft Windows.

I would suggest you to change the security firewall settings or disable security software on the system and try to access the location.

Hi Andy,

Thank you for the update on the issue.

Creating new account checks if there is any corruption with profile. It is a diagnostic step, if issue persist in new user profile too then we can easily remove that newly created account from the system.

In addition to the troubleshooting step you may refer to the steps provided by Arya S Ashok replied on February 12, 2010 in the below mentioned thread.

Do keep us updated about the issue and we will be happy to assist you.

I'm using a script to map a network drive using the ideas that you suggest. The following batch script is on my path in a file called mount-computer.bat:

@echo off

rem # script to mount a computer on its stated drive

rem # have to use backup plan of a fixed IP mapping because of a known Windows bug with nameservers on a local network

rem # thus four arguments: drive directory host ip

set drive=%1

set directory=%~2

set host=%3

set ip=%4

net use %drive% "\%host%%directory%" /persistent:no

if not ERRORLEVEL 1 (

   echo SUCCESS: %drive% connected to %host%

   exit /B 0

)

net use L: "\%ip%%directory%" /persistent:no

if not ERRORLEVEL 1 (

   echo SUCCESS: %drive% connected to %ip%

   exit /B 0

)

echo ERROR: failed to connect

exit /B 1

Then I call this with appropriate parameters:

mount-computer L: Users LAPTOP 192.168.1.4

I have also configured my router to always give my laptop the same IP address.

This mounts \laptop\Users on drive L:, but if that fails, mounts \192.168.1.4\Users on drive L:. Either way I can then access my documents on drive L.

I don't understand what you are suggesting, it sounds extremely unlikely to be of any help. I really don't see how a different account would change anything and you haven't given any explanation as to why this might help. Try explaining your reasoning, explain why a different user account would change network file sharing?

All of the online accounts of this problem suggest it is a Windows networking problem, nothing to do with accounts. So why are you offering a "solution" that doesn't address the networking issue?
