Network Path Not foundlonger able to connect to any of my shares on any computer. I receive the "Network Path not found" error. From my other systems I can access the shares on the bad computer with no problems. Here is what I have done. 1. Made sure no firewall(s) were running. 2. Ping the other machines with no problem, name lookup also works 3. uninstalled the network card replaced it with another card. 4. changed the workgroup name and IP addresses of each computer 5. reinstalled sp2. 6. uninstalled both Microsoft client and file and printshare then reinstalled. I can do everything dealing with the network except access windows shares on this computer. Any help would be great. I would like to fix this rather than blow the system away and reinstall clean.

I did disable the wins server and changed the settings on the boxes from hybrid to broadcast. Still did not resolve the problem. After doing some more troubleshooting I decided to use a packetsniffer on the network. It appears when trying to connect to any share from the broken box (\\192.168.2.4\sharename) It is sending all the traffic over on port 80 and not 445 which the other boxes do. Has this ever been seen? Thanks

All other boxes can reach any share on the network. There are no firewalls anywhere I can telnet to port 445 or any port on the boxes with the shares without being blocked. One thing I am seeing when capturing packets on the broken box I see that when I try to connect to a share that it is going through port 80 and not the correct port. Is there somewhere where this is defined or a corrupt file causing this? Thanks. On Mon, 9 Oct 2006 07:19:02 -0700, AJEast <AJE***@discussions.microsoft.com>

Is there somewhere where this is >defined or a corrupt file causing this? Instead of guessing why port 80 is involved, let's diagnose the problem. Look at "browstat status" and "ipconfig /all", from each computer. Read this article, and linked articles, and follow instructions precisely (download browstat!): <http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/05/troubleshooting-network-neighborhood.html#AskingForHelp> http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/05/troubleshooting-network-neighborhood.html#AskingForHelp Also run CPSServ on each computer (download PSTools - free). <http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2006/04/cpsserv-comprehensive-psservice-source.html> http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2006/04/cpsserv-comprehensive-psservice-source.html -- Cheers, Chuck, MS-MVP [Windows - Networking] http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/ Paranoia is not a problem, when it's a normal response from experience.
