Hi,
I have a Dell Core2Duo laptop with Vista Home Premium 64 with SP2. It's connected to my network wirelessly however I've tried it wired too but that made no difference.
On the network are a number of devices; 2 windows 7 Home Premium 64 machines and a brand new netgear ReadyNas Duo, all wired to the same router.
All PC's and the Nas are on the same workgroup.
All the PC's can see each other (and the NAS) if you click 'Network' from the start menu.
All PC's have file and printer sharing enabled, and the two Win7 machines are running a homegroup too.
However the laptop times out and returns the following error if you click on any of the other PCs/Nas.
Error 0x80070035
The Network Path was not found
Trying to connect to the laptop from any of the other PC's returns the same error message.
I have tried using the same logon accounts an both the laptop and Win 7 PCs. The Nas has no user accounts or passwords and is accessable from all other network devices.
I've tried turning off all software firewalls (Windows Firewall) on both computers attempting to connect, and I've tried a wired connection to the same router.
I can ping ALL devices from the laptop, and the PCs can ping the laptop back via IP address.
The PC's and Laptop can ping each other via host name, but only the Win 7 machines can ping the NAS by hostname.
Both the Win7 PCs and laptop can produce correct 'Network Maps' from the 'Network and Sharing Centre'.
All PC's and the laptop have 'Network Descovery Mode', 'Printer and File Sharing' and 'Public Folder Sharing' ENABLED.
There is no Norton or Macafee running, only AVAST free, Although the laptop did have a Macafee trial when new, which has been removed and I can't see any sign of it's services running.
Hope someone can help this is driving me insane
EDIT:
Just to add all PC's, including the laptop have internet access.
