Error code: 0x80070035 The network path was not found
"Error code: 0x80070035 The network path was not found" while trying to access another PC running Windows 7 Ultimate I searched and read dozens of similiar posts to try to resolve this issue with no success. The situation is, I have a router in home with 4 PC's connected. My central PC is running Windows 7 Ultimate. The others are Windows 7 Ultimate again, and 2 running XP Pro. No special Firewalls, just have Windows Firewall enabled on all PC's, and am running KasperskyInternetSecurity2010 on all. (Have disabled these on all PC's and tried to view/connect and it didnt make a difference, same error) Fact one: not attempting a Homegroup connection at all, just simply wishing to connect in a basic network environment where I can drag and drop files between all PC's in my Home Network or in my house , however its considered. But on the Windows 7 I am unable to view either of the XP's only the other Win7, and when I try to access that one is when I get the "Error code: 0x80070035 The network path was not found". Furthermore, while troubleshooting the problem I opened a Command Prompt in all computers, then an "ipconfig" to view each ip address. Then began to ping each machine to determin connectivity. Which resulted in partial success. My main Win7 machine (which i am on now) was able to ping successfully to all machines. But all other machines were unable to ping to me (main Win7). with a 100% loss. So at least I determined this is most likely a helpful fact in resolving this. Going into "services.msc" I made sure that all the obvious services are started and running: DCHP Client, Homegroup Listener, Homegroup Provider, Link-Layer Topology Discovery Mapper, NetTcp Port SHaring Service, Network Connections, Network List Service, Network Location Awareness, TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper All strarted and running in Automactic mode. Not sure what other information I can give at this point, to help assist in fixing this problem. Please dont hesitate to ask for me for more info if needed. Ready and willing to try anything to get this working, except for reinstalling the OS. All my programs work great and do not wish to go through the drama ao reinstalling all my programs and activating them and redoing all my Adobe settings and CAD settings. Someone please help !

All network activity is allowed in that setting. Also, this networking has actually worked for me already. For some unknown reason, it just stopped working and am getting this same error. And my XP machines will no show up in network. I can easily uninstall the Kaspersky and try it all again, if you really believe this to be the root of the error. I am lost with this. Read so many pages on blogs about what to do to resolve this and nothing is working yet. Any other ideas ? Thank you for your response. Dave

Re. Not so simple file sharing under Win 7 professins. Apparently there were file sharing changes made in Win7. I have tried every solution including enabling Netbios (Per your reco) and I am still unable to see any of by my workgroups. I resarched "simple file share" and it is being handled differently under WIN 7. Initially I did a Hard Disk upgrade and installed WIN 7 professional (Full Version) from scratch and I am running into this problem with file sharing and network visibility. re error (0x80070035) "invalid path". I do have the network discovery turned on as recommended and my notebook is discovering nothing. I can ping various workstaions and can also do RDP to the terminal servers & PCs. I have done serveral upgrades on other HP notebooks from Vista Pro to Win7 Pro and had no problems with file sharing and network visibility. So what shall I do next??? I am willing to reload Win 7 pro... But what assurance do I have that it's going to work. Is there a Patch?? Was this issue ever resolved?? If you have patch to the registry, I am willing to do that.. Let me Know, Joey

Did we ever manage to solve this? I have the same issue, tried all of the standard fixes and nothing worked. I even changed Anti-Virus platforms (from Symantec to Kaspersky) and it still happens.

This is Windows 7 not Vista and you use the same settings that don't exist in Control Panel

For what it's worth department. I tried ALL the above suggestions to no avail but in my case the following worked for my situation. Go to Control Panel Go to Credential Manager on each Windows 7 machine on the network Under Windows Credentials, type in the name of each machine, username and password It sounds too simple but it worked for me. The shared files and folders popped right up after this! I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU!!!!!! You solved my issh!!!!!

Late addition to this thread. I was trying to connect a win7 laptop to a private dns network via wireless router (win server 2008, with 3 clients on win7, all 64bit) I could ping ip addresses and names with no trouble, but no network connections. I had same err code 0x8007035 when I tried to network to another client, and 0x800704cf when i tried to connect to win svr. The fix was simple; in Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network Connections make sure under 'Local Area Connections" that the "Client for Microsoft Networks' connection is installed, is being used, and is active. Everything worked for me seemlessly post that.

You are a genius, Turdle. I had the same exact problem after switching to cable modem and upgrading my wireless router. I was no longer able to RDP into my WinXP Pro from my Win 7 and this did the trick. Amazing... Thanks!!!

Hi Davey, Dont feel sad for posting this answer almost 1.5yrs later. Just thought it could help someone visiting this technet. Go to Services.Msc and search for a service named "Server" start that service if its stopped and here you go... you will now be able to access the server using \\servername. Thanks.
