I have tried with my laptop on both wireless and ethernet.Īs you can imagine, I am banging my head against the wall on this one. I run ccleaner to clean up my registry. I run security essentials to ensure my laptop is clean. I have ensured my windows 7 has all updates. When I try with my firewall turned off the same happens.
I can nbtstat -a the machine who has the shared folder. When I select see details on the error pop up, I see:Įrror code: 0x80004005 (google doesn't help much). When I select diagnose, windows tells me nothing useful. I also cannot see shared folders on the friends laptop.
The machine I am trying to connect to and my friends machine can both see shared folders on my machine. My friend with the exact same laptop as me (and on the same network, same workgroup) can connect to the shared folder. I can remote desktop connect to the machine. I am using windows 7, I cannot connect to a shared network drive on another machine.
