From: Jim QCID Jim on 20 Apr 2008 17:29 I have three machines all running XPSP2. The main machine is called Figaro the other two are quality and jfk. I have mapped some of the drives on Figaro to the other two machines and for some reason those mapped drives are no longer accessible. In Explorer they show up as disconnected network drives and when I click on one I get the error message, "An error occured while reconnecting P: to \\FIGARO\C$ Microsoft Windows Network : The network name cannot be found. This connection has not been restored. I disconnected the mapped C Drive from Figaro and I cannot remap it. I get the error message "The network path \\figaro\c$ cannot be found." It doesn't matter if the firewalls (Kaspersky Internet Suite) are on or off. What is truly weird is that I can connect to Figaro from quality using remote desktop. I can ping Figaro from quality and vice versa. If I open "My Network Places" on quality and go to entire Network > Microsoft Windows Network > Workgroup (The name of my workgroup) > it lists all three machines. When I click on Figaro I can see all the printer, Shared Docs, printer and faxes and Scheduled tasks folders. Doing all of the above on the third box, jfk, yields the same results. From figaro Win Explorer I have access to the drives I mapped from jfk and all the drives on Quality show up (when running Remote Desktop from quality to Figaro) as Disk From Remote Desktop Connection and I can access them. ipconfig /all from figaro shows: Windows IP Configuration Host Name . . . . . . . . . . . . : figaro Primary Dns Suffix . . . . . . . : Node Type . . . . . . . . . . . . : Unknown IP Routing Enabled. . . . . . . . : No WINS Proxy Enabled. . . . . . . . : No DNS Suffix Search List. . . . . . : domain.actdsltmp Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection: Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : domain.actdsltmp Description . . . . . . . . . . . : 3Com 3C920 Integrated Fast Ethernet Controller (3C905C-TX Compatible) Physical Address. . . . . . . . . : 00-B0-D0-17-E5-C0 Dhcp Enabled. . . . . . . . . . . : Yes Autoconfiguration Enabled . . . . : Yes IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.0.17 Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0 Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.0.1 DHCP Server . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.0.1 DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.0.1 64.58.4.2 Lease Obtained. . . . . . . . . . : Sunday, 20 April, 2008 12:14:39 PM Lease Expires . . . . . . . . . . : Monday, 21 April, 2008 12:14:39 PM TCP/IP settings: DHCP is enabled No default gateway Automatic metrics No DNS servers specified Append primary and connection specific DNS suffixes ON Append parent suffixes of the primary DNS suffix checked Register this connection's addresses in DNS registration WINS - no addresses specified Enable LMHOSTS lookup checked netBIOS set to default Options - TCP/IP filtering is listed but not enabled. If I disconnect Remote Desktop (quality to Figaro) and try and map a network drive from quality on to Figaro \\quality\c$ I get the error message "the network path \\quality\c$ could not be found". If I go into Figaro's My Network Places > Entire Network > Microsoft Windows Network > workgroup . all the computers are there. I have flushed the DSN cache and run repair on "locl Area Connection" to no avail. Anyone have any suggestions?? Thanks

That is odd. I thought that administrative shares could not be deleted. But, if it isn't shared, then it cannot be mapped. Are you certain that you ran this command on the correct computer? Jim

Hi, Yes, I am certain that I ran it on Figaro, the correct computer. Just to make sure I ran net share on quality and that didn't show any administrative shares either, but the administrative shares do show up on the third computer. Thanks, Jim > I don't see C$ in your output of net share... > That is odd.
