Unable to access network shares

In our enterprise environment we have a home share with approx 20 folders viewable to all staff with different folder accessible to different departments. One of our users has an issue when switching from a wired to wireless network connection
on his laptop he is no longer able to view/access the folders from the home share and can only view/access one particular folder. This also happens when he is at home accessing via VPN.
TIA for any ideas as to what may cause this.

I assume the user has a clean install of Windows?
I rolled out 8.1 which has better sharing, I recall a few problems with 7 when out in the field

Window 8.1 system unable to access network shares via VPN connection

Is there something inherent to Windows 8.1 that prevents it from accessing shares on a domain?
I know that it cannot join a domain, but does that also mean that it cannot access shares which are on a domain?
My problem is that I have several user that are running windows 8.1 that are connecting to our network via a VPN.
The users have domain accounts but their computers as windows 8.1 cannot joined to the domain.
So to access network shares they have to use their domain credentials to create a VPN connection.
Once connected the user can RDP to systems on the domain using their domain accounts, so I know that their user names/passwords and permissions are correct. They can access these systems using the computer name, so I don't feel that I have a DNS issue.
They can see the shares on our file server, but when they try to access their departments shared file, they receive an access denied message. There are a few shares that are completely wide open, shared to all users and all departments but they cannot access
those shares either.
You can ping the file server, from the the client when they are connected to the VPN but you just cannot access any of the shares.
So...
I am thinking that it has something to do with windows 8.1 and not being able to join a domain, but I cannot find anything to explicitly support this thought.
Other users running a variety different OS (windows 7, OSX, Linux) can all access the shares without any problems via the VPN, so I am a little stumped.

I have done some more testing and oddly enough I can map a drive if I use the IPaddress, but not the computer name, when checking the check box "connect using different credentials"and providing they users domain credentials.
This seems to point to a DNS issue, one would think, but I can hit the file share server by name \\fileserver.dev.lan
I can see all the shares, so dns seems to be fine right?
So I don't understand why I can map a drive using do the IPaddress and not the machine name, but yet I can see and ping the server by name?
When I try to create a mapped drive by machine name I receive the following message:
Windows cannot access \\fileserver.dev.lan\all
You do not have permissions to access \\fileserver.dev.lan. contact your network administrator to request access.
But if I use the \\x.x.x.x\all using the very same user and password I get connected with no problem.
This only seems to happen on windows 8.1, which leads me to think that has something to do with OS.
I am thinking about upgrading to windows 8.1 pro, but I don't want to go though the hassle and expanse is the OS is not the problem.

Network Media Player (Noontec V9-T) unable to access network shares on WIN8 Pro

I have just upgraded from Windows 7 home premium 64 bit to Windows 8 Pro 64 bit. After the upgrade, I made sure my video library was shared (both with the homegroup and my username) and that network discovery was enabled file sharing enabled etc etc.
On the Noontec Media centre I can see the workgoup called WORKGROUP. When I click on it I can see the name of my PC. But when I click on the pc name to log in to access the shares within it comes up with a username/pass box comes up. I then put in my username/pass
on the windows 8 pro machine, to which the Noontec receives an error message stating cannot login.
Previously I had enabled sharing with everyone (read only) on windows 7 home and this username/pass dialog box never appeared. Just said successful logon. So i tried sharing video library with "everyone" in windows 8 pro, the unit still can't log on.
I believe this noontec uses Samba. The last updated samba file was named "samba_3.0.23c_mipsel.ipk" when I updated the media players samba about 9 months-a year ago. i have checked the manufacturers website, there has been no further updates released.
Is there a way for me to access network shares from this media centre by maybe installing a new samba server on the windows 8 machine that is compatible with older samba clients? I am not savy with samba clients/servers at all, I just loved the way XP network
shares always seemed to work across multiple platforms... and win7/8 doesn't. Help anyone?

A lot of these media players will not work correctly. If your Video files are stored as .avi, MKV, MP4 etc.. pretty much anything excpet for .ISO, the best way is to use Plex media server on the windows 8 PC. It's free and should allow you to organise files
and libraries as you want.In fact, it's my preferred access method now, as most, smart TVs also support plex and support it well....allowing me to play the files directly in my smart TV, without using the Media players.
In addition if you have an Android tablet or phone, you can (if you want) access your media files from Plex using Media Monkey (free) and simply play them direct to the TV, Media Monkey simply hands the data stream over to the smart TV.
I have a similar set of media players and exactly the same problem with windows 8,8.1, previous shares on versions 7, vist etc..work perfectly. I use a free application on my android phone to remote start my media server/s (via the network card).
Shutter Light - Free monitoring activity and network data, to prevent unwanted sleep during Videos and to ensure the PC goes into sleep mode (disabling windows power management)
Plex simplifies everything and acts as a great central server for all types of devices and can bring media files together from different Directories/Disks, in to one set of Libraries.

XP Mode Crashes When Accessing Network Shares

I am using Windows 7 Professional and have installed XP Mode to use a legacy accounting application.
In the Virtual Machines folder on the host under settings I have set the network adapter to Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller.
Under XP Mode, I have set XP to be a member of the workgroup and I am logging on with a user who can access network. When I run XP Mode I can access the internet with Internet Explorer.
If I then go to "My Network Places" "View Workgroup Computers" I can see all the workgroup computers on the network. If I then double click on a computer name Windows Explorer shows me all the shared directories on that computer.
This is where the problem occurs. If I then click on a shared directory XP Mode instantly exits and restarts. (Windows 7 is unaffected.)
Does anyone have any idea's as how I can access all the shared directories to view the files stored on the network.

Miya Yao, Thank you for your reply.
Can other computer in the workgroup see the shared directory in Windows XP Mode? I don't know exactly what you mean by this. No other computers in the workgroup are running XP Mode. They are running native XP Professional. (It was my original idea to run
a physical XP laptop together with Windows 7 desktop to access the data files required, before I read about XP Mode.)
All workgroup computers can access network shares, if the user has appropriate permissions. I have shared the "Shared Documents" under XP Mode and this share can be accessed by all other computers on the network including the host. However, if I access this
share from the guest via "View Workgruop Computers" as in my first post, XP Mode instantly quits and restarts. For information the XP Mode user name and password is the same as the host user name and password.
I have checked the Event Viewer both before I first posted and again today. There are no entries recorded. However, I should have mentioned that upon restarting XP Mode I get "The system has recovered from a serious error" the details of which are:-
BCCode : 10000050 BCP1 : FFFFFF8A BCP2 : 00000001 BCP3 : F7F23661
BCP4 : 00000000 OSVer : 5_1_2600 SP : 3_0 Product : 256_1
If I send the error report I am taken to thsi web page:-
http://wer.microsoft.com/responses/Response.aspx/603/en-us/5.1.2600.2.00010100.3.0?SGD=316378af-10a1-428a-9016-074d398ed1a1
The page talks about testing RAM. RAM is fine. There is 8GB of physical RAM. It was tested with memtest86+ v2.10 and v4.20 separately. v4.20 was run for 12 hours plus with no errors detected. I have tried adjusting XP Mode RAM under settings but this makes
no difference.
The issue happens when accessing all shared directories including empty ones.
I clean booted the computer and yes the issue still exists.
If I use dos to view a directory under XP Mode the problem exists, by typing
\\SERVER\SHARE\FOLDERNAME .
By using the host I can map a shared directory. Then under XP Mode I can access the share from my computer. I have noticed by mapping S: to a Network Share that in Windows Explorer in XP Mode the path is
\\tsclient\S\ . Is this normal?
Under Windows 7 the same share appears as S:\ as I would expect.
However, I would prefer not to have to map and un-map different Network Shares to drive letters.
It should have been mentioned in my first post, host is Windows 7 Professional 64 bit. I don't know the build but it is full retail version (not upgrade) from when first released - prior to SP1. All updates have been applied including SP1.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Windows machines unable to access smb shares

I know many people are having problems with smb on osx server, but my issues seems very basic, so I will try to ask for help here.
Basically, I have set up a single folder for sharing on a Mac Mini running OSX Mountain Lion Server. Directory services are provided by a WIndows 2003 server, and I have joined OSX Server to that, and am able to see all AD users and groups correctly. I have checked the boxes specifying I wish to share as afp, smb and webdav and also made shares accessible to guests.
Now, if I use a mac client, I can correctly browse the afp and smb shares, and the latter work via finder and smbutil as expected, including access via AD users, connection and file transfer.
If, instead, I use a windows client (I tried both Win7Pro and WinXP), while being able to ping the osx server machine, if I try to "explore" (entering \\hostname in explorer) the shares I get a "Network error: impossible to access ..." (approximate translation, sorry ). I tried both using the hostname and the ip address, always getting the same result.
If I try via prompt with "net view \\hostname" I get a System Error 53 (Unable to find network path).
Does anyone know if I am doing anything wrong?
Thanks
Christian

I have done some further testing, and I can report that occasionally, I am able to connect from a windows 7 professional machine by issuing the following command:
net use z:\\hostname\share /user:DOMAIN\username
mostly this command returns a 53 system error, but sometimes I am asked for the user's password and am then able to access the shared folder for a brief time.

SQL server can't access network share

Hello,
I am facing an issue where the SQL server can't access the network share. The network share is mounted by a domain user who is also configured as Administrator on the server.
Through SQL Server management studio as well as PoweShell script when i try to access the share in order to attach the database contained within the share, i get the error "Unable to find the file specified". I can't mention the network drive to
the SQL management GUI file browser too if i try to attach the database through GUI.
For all SQL services, I changed the service log on account to be the same account which mounts the network share.
As work around -
I launched a command prompt under NT Authority \ SYSTEM (LocalSystem) account and mounted the drive to the same location which lead to adding one more connection but under local system account. With this change, the SQL server was able to access the network
share!
I couldn't understand whey SQL expects the network share to be mounted under local system account even if all the SQL services are running under domain account ? I want SQL to be able to access the network share without opting for above work around.

Hello,
I couldn't understand whey SQL expects the network share to be mounted under local system account even if all the SQL services are running under domain account ? I want SQL to be able to access the network share without opting for above work around.
It doesn't have to be. The workaround is only a temporary fix and is certainly not a good idea. I would not use mounted folders with SQL Server, at all, period.
The reason you're having difficulty is that when the folder is mounted, it's mounted for YOUR session not ALL sessions. SQL Server has already started its services and is running under its' own session and is not privy to the things you do to change the
environment. For example, if you changed a system or user variable (for example, a SET variable) SQL Server would have no idea about this because when it started, that variable either didn't exist or was something else. This is not SQL Server's fault but how
Windows works (this information is stored in the Process Environment Block [PEB]) for any windows process.
As other's have said, don't use mounted drives - use a UNC path. UNC paths are 100% supported on 2012+ as well as running databases on a SMB 3.x share (UNC pathed of course).
If you absolutely must use a mounted drive, enabled xp_cmdshell access (through sp_configure) and run the net use command through xp_cmdshell. I, once again, would highly advise not doing this and using an UNC path.

Cannot access network shares on AD domain

I've joined my mac to an AD domain (over vpn tunnel). I used the Directory Access app and when I did a "bind" to the domain all seemed to go well.
However when I try to access a network share using the "Connect to Server" menu item:
smb://server/share
I get this error:
The Finder cannot complete the operation because some data in...could not be read or written. (Error code -36)
Ok I've tried googling this error message. Could someone tell me what this means? Could you point me to documentation on how to do what I'm doing?

Can you access the share while in the office?
Can you access the share by using the servers IP address instead of name?

Unable to access DFS shares when server 1 goes down

Hello all,
I have a test domain I am building in order to prepare for a new domain we are going to create. We currently have an SBS 2003 that is reaching the end of its' life. We are going to start fresh. I have setup domain-based DFS along with DFS folder replication
for each of the folders. So far, all is working ok, up to this point.
Replication is occurring as it should and my Hyper-V test machines can connect to the mapped drives via the DFS namespace.
\\domain\namespace\target folder
However, once I shut down the primary server (SRV01) I am no longer able to access the shares. The namespace servers tab on the center window of the namespace MMC, has both SRV01 and 02 listed. I receive no errors except "Unable to connect to \\domain\namespace\target
folder because it is unavailable". It is not "failing over" to the secondary available server.
Once I power SRV01 back up, connectivity is then restored to the folders and mapped drives. Is there something I should check for, or am missing?
Any and all insight is appreciated.
Dario Garcia

Hi,
1. Run DFSUTIL /pktinfo to see if the referral target is still the primary server when it is actually down.
If so, run DFSUTIL /pktflush to flush the cached information and try to access the namespace again.
2. If 1 cannot help, whether DNS is also configged on primary server? If so, as it is down,
\\domain may not be recognized.

Not able to access network shares on a Win 7 Pro SP1 machine on certain machines

I have computer "FileShare"
It runs Windows 7 Pro SP1 and it's current on updates. Password Protected Sharing is OFF, Advanced Sharing is set to "Everyone read/write"
I can access it from other PC's in the same workgroup and no passwords are prompted for. The other PC's run XP or Win 7, and they all work fine.
However I have a Laptop running XP Pro SP3 current on updates, and a Win 7 Pro SP1 TestBox also current on updates.
The Laptop and TestBox require passwords to log into the network shares. I've tried rebooting all of them, adding "guest" to the user list for shares on computer "FileShare", and have even set a blank password to Guest on "FileShare".
Tried Turning Password Protection off and on again. Rebooting again. The Laptop and Textbox still need passwords, while numerous other XP desktops can access the network shares just fine.
Any ideas on what to do?

Hi,
This behavior may occur if all the following conditions are true:
a. NetBIOS over TCP/IP is not turned on (enabled) on one or more computers in the workgroup.
b. The Computer Browser service is not started or is turned off on one or more computers in the workgroup.
This behavior may also occur if File and Print Sharing for Microsoft Networks is not installed or is blocked by Windows Firewall.
Step 1: Enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP
Control Panel > Network and Internet Connections > Network Connections > Right-click Local Area Connection, and then click Properties > Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), and then click Properties.
> click Advanced > Click the WINS tab > Under NetBIOS setting, click Enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP, and then click OK two times > Click Close to close the Local Area Connection Properties dialog box.
> Close the Network Connections window.
Step 2: Start the Computer Browser service
Start > right-click My Computer > Manage > Double-click Services and Applications > Double-click Services > On the right side, right-click Computer Browser, and then click Start.
> Close the Computer Management window.
Step 3: Temporary disable firewall and antivirus programs for test.
It also can be caused by software conflicts. If the issue disappears in the Clean Boot environment, we can use a 50/50 approach to quickly narrow down which entry is causing the issue.
How to perform a clean boot to troubleshoot a problem in Windows 8, Windows 7, or Windows Vista

Since the issue does not occur in all computers, you should also compare the different settings between them to narrow down the cause.
Hope it helps.

Unable to access a share - beachball...

Colleague has raised an issue - he is unable to access a shared folder on our server.
He does Command K, enters ip number of server, clicks connect,
enters name and password
Gets a window offering volumes to mount - as soon as he clicks on one gets 'beachball of death'...
I can login from another site using his name and password and sail through to volumes OK...
He can Ping the server's ip number successfully...
Any thoughts on reason?
Any solutions...
Thanks - he's on 10.4.6 (probably should upgrade to 10.4.11), server is 10.4 os x server

If you can access the site through www.megaproxy.com/freesurf/ or a similiar web proxy service, then Verizon is giving you access. The Web Host probably has an out of date filter.
He can either add your subnet to his network, or you can simply turn off your modem for four hours (there is a lease time on the ip address that doesn't expire for 4 hours) and then turn it back on. I usually tell folks to do this at night when they go to bed. Basically just unplug the modem and don't plug it back in until the morning.
OR if you want it right away, you can try chat support or Call Verizon, and don't bother telling them your problem AT ALL. just ask for tech support and ask if they can release your IP Address, or break the dhcp lease.
you should have your modem powered off when they do that, and don't plug it back in for AT LEAST 3 to 5 minutes before plugging it back in.
If you plug it in immediately, then you run the risk of that IP address coming right back to you, but if you give it a few minutes, it will most likely go back into the dhcp pool and get assigned to someone else, and you will be in perfect shape to get a new ip address.

Wired guest access - Unable to access network

Hello,
I've configured two WLC's with the exact same config one of them has working Wired guest network the other one does not.
The only difference in the two I know of is that the one that does not work is connected to a Cisco 3550 switch, the one that works is connected to a Cisco 7600.
The problem is when I connect a computer to the wired guest network I am able to get an IP address from the Internal DHCP server but unable to access the network.
I've tried pinging the gateway's IP and I get no answer.
The Port-channel interface has the correct VLans and the vlans exist on all switches.
If anyone see an error there or might have an idea why this is not working I would appreciate the feedback.
Config follows below..

WRT54GL unable to access wired shares or printer on PC from wireless iMac

The subject line applies to a new router on which I can access the internet ok both from the wired PC and the wireless iMac.
The problem is this router is unable to access the PC shares or printer from the iMac. Pls note, "this router"!
I have an identical WRT54GL v1.1, same firmware, setup is identical on both, one works with no problem, but the new one has the above problem..
I have spent a day on it and its in line for return on Monday, but I still hope for a miracle tip which may sort it out :-)
On the good one 'Port scan' of the PC from iMac gives me:
Port Scan has started ...
Port Scanning host: 192.168.1.100
Open TCP Port: 139
Open TCP Port: 445
while the faulty one gives me:
Port Scan has started ...
Port Scanning host: 192.168.1.100
..and thats it! No contact.
Yes, the router is set up for 'Lan & Wireless' (no way to change that setting to 'WAN only' it seems, it bounces back to 'Lan & Wireless')
I have btw done a Factory Reset on it (twice) with no joy.
Any ideas anyone?
Mvh

My first guess for this kind of problem would be a software firewall on the computer. The firewall will detect where it is connected and configures the settings depending on the location. Two routers are two different "locations". Try turning off the firewall or even better deinstall it as often some parts of those software firewalls are still active when turned off.
The only option that does affect access of wireless clients to the LAN is the "AP Isolation" option on the "Advanced Wireless Settings". That should be off.
Another thing you could try if you like: do a configuration backup on the working router and restore it to the faulty one. Maybe there are some settings that don't match and that you cannot configure through the web interface. Have you ever used a 3rd party firmware on either of the routers?

Unable to access CIFS shares using SSL Web portal

Hello,
i have deployed Cisco Clientless Web VPN on my ASA5515.
I'm having an issue when I try to browse a file server (access CIFS shares) from the WEB VPN portal. I am prompted for login, and after logging in I get the "Error contacting host" immediately. it's seem like a bug on ASA ? i saw that on Cisco Web site : bug CSCsl94183
I already DONE those things :
1- reload the ASA
2- upgrade to the latest software release
3- test different web browser ( Firefox, IE, Chrome)
1- ASA Platform is 5515 running latest software release (9.1.4)
2- File server running Windows 2008 R2
3- Clients is using Firefox.
4- When I establish SSL VPN connection using Cisco AnyConnect I have no problems accessing files or folders on the same server.
NOTE : I have 2 other CIFS server running Window 2003 and there is no issue. the issue is happening ONLY with the server running Window 2008 R2

I've also seen this exact problem. We have several Windows 2008 R2 servers, one of our Domain controllers has been migrated to 2008 R2. I can access shares on the Windows 2008 R2 domain controller, but not a deicated (member) file share server.

Active Directory: Odd behavior when accessing network shares

I'm not very clear on how OS X handles AD integration, but I'm having an odd problem, perhaps someone may know the answer.
AD is bound and working properly.
I am successfully logging in with an AD account that is set to 'mobile' mode.
Two questions:
1. Why is it that when I access a share that I have rights to access, I am prompted for my user name and password? I am already logged in with a domain account and validated by the domain controller. This is not a big problem, but I am curious.
2. Why is it that I am denied access to some shares, and others I can connect to but cannot see their contents, yet logged into a Windows machine with the same AD account, I can access all of them just fine? This one is a big problem.
I'm hoping there are just more things I need to configure to get it to work. Either way, I'm having fun learning all of this.
Thanks,
-Travis

2. Why is it that I am denied access to some shares, and others I can connect to but cannot see their contents, yet logged into a Windows machine with the same AD account, I can access all of them just fine? This one is a big problem.
I'm hoping there are just more things I need to configure to get it to work. Either way, I'm having fun learning all of this.
Thanks,
-Travis
