I'm having practically the exact same problem as you:
System Error 58
The specified server cannot perform the requested operation.
However, this is only happening when accessing a Win7 x64 system from Windows XP (x86) clients. When using other Win7 x64 systems, there are no problems. The Win7 server is in a domain, one of the Win7 clients is in the same domain, and another Win7 client is not in any domain. All Win7 clients can access the Win7 server. One of the WinXP clients is connected to the same domain as the Win7 server, and the other is not connected to any domain; both intermittently get the above error. It seems that when the Server service is restarted, the XP systems can connect again, but will eventually get the same error when reading files from the server.
The previous poster mentioned that AVG may be related to this problem, and I had it installed while these, and other errors, were happening. Before removing AVG, I was also getting a "Not Enough Server Storage Is Available to Process This Command." error, in addition to the "The specified server cannot perform the requested operation." error. After removing it, I am only getting the latter error.
I can't seem to find any useful information online relating to this error. All of the hardware in the Win7 server system has been tested at least twice using various diagnostic software, and passed all tests. Drivers are the latest available. The OS is a fresh installation; not an upgrade. Other installed software include: Adobe CS4, Autodesk 3ds max 2009, Microsoft Office 2007, and Visual Studio 2008. As mentioned earlier, AVG was installed, but has since been uninstalled, and no other antivirus software was installed prior to AVG, or since it was removed.
Win7 Server System: Intel Core 2 Quad Q6700, 4GB RAM, ASUS P5N32E-SLI, nVidia 8800GTS, using onboard LAN, onboard RAID, onboard Audio.
Any thoughts?
I have following machines in home network:
- W7 x64 ultimate, not in domain
- Vista x64, in domain
- Ubuntu 9.04
- XP 32-bit, virtual, not in domain
W7 machine shares a folder. Of all machines listed above only Vista x64 machine could access it. For some resaon, Ubuntu and XP machine were unable to do so, although they could ping. Not only they couldn't connect to machine, but they couldn't even browse shares:
Code:
C:\>net view \\amc03
System error 58 has occurred.
The specified server cannot perform the requested operation.
After reading this thread I decided to see what happens if I remove AVG 8.5 from W7 machine. I did, restarted machine, and viola - everything just started working without a glitch. Not sure WTF is going on there. I couldn't find anything else on internet so far which would explain why is it happening
