I am having problems accessing shared folders on my desktop, from my laptop on my home network. I have 3 computers: Desktop Computer with Windows 7 Professional (Connected by wire) Laptop Computer with Windows 7 Home Premium (connected by wireless) Mini Laptop with Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron (connected by wire) They are all connected thru a Cisco Linkysys E2000 wireless router. The mini is able to access shared drives on both the desktop and the laptop. The desktop is able to access shared drives on the laptop The laptop is unable to access shared drives on the desktop. The laptop and the desktop can see each other in the network section of file explorer. Both can ping each other to. On both the laptop and the Desktop the following services are disabled: Homegroup listener, Homegroup provider, Net.Msmq, Net.Pipe Listner, Net.Tcp listener Adapter, and Routing and Remote Access. Under advanced sharing setting, the following is exactly true for both laptop and desktop: Private: Network Discovery is ON File & Printer ON 128-bit encryption Sharing so anyone can access Password Protection OFF HomeGroup connection managed by windows Public same as above I have uninstalled all anti-virus and firewalls. I have disabled windows firewall on both computers. Netbios Over TCP/IP is enabled on both the desktop and laptop When I attempt to access the shared drives on my Desktop from my laptop, I receive the following error: Error code 0x80070035 The network path was not found This happens when I double click the computer icon for my desktop in my laptop's file explorer. When I type in the address in to start menu run box (\\10.0.0.4) I receive the following error: Windows cannot access \\10.0.0.4 Error code: 0x 800704cf The network location cannot be reached. I do not know what further to do. Any help appreciated.

I'm giving it a shot now. It looks like it might be correct. I always wondered why there were so many entries in ipconfig. I am running into problem with devcon though. Seems like when I try to remove the device the devcon program is unable to remove it. After a quick google search I found that the program was unable to remove "non present devices." I'm not sure what that means, but i'm downloading the source code for the WDK and going to attempt to edit it to remove "present device" ?!?!? ..... Hopefully it's in c or c++ and not C#. Hopefully it's easy enough to figure out. Removing 220 device manually thru device manager is not my idea of a pleasant OS experience.

There are a ton of network adapters. But devcon wont let me remove the devices? Is there some other utility that I can use to remove these devices?

After Several Weeks I fixed the problem, but not in a satisfactory way. For the Desktop I just reinstalled windows 7 and applied this hotfix http://support.microsoft.com/kb/980486 For the Laptop, reinstallation was not an option so, I download the source code for devcon and compiled it on my machine. The version I had downloaded previously wasn’t complied for x64. Afterwards I ran devcon with the following command devcon remove =net This basically completely wiped ever thing that had to do with my network adapter. The correct version was able to remove the 200+ 6to4 adapters. I then reinstalled my network drives. The problem however still did not go away. So I just disabled all the ISATAP adapters, the 6to4 adapter and the miniport adapter. The tunneling adapter was uninstalled. Now everything seems to work fine.
