Error Code: 0x80070035 - The network path was not found

[demon1]

Hope somebody here can point me in the right direction. I just recently bought a Acer Revo 3610 to wirelessly stream movies from my main pc. The problem is I can't see any of the shared folders, which are all stored in external drives.The wireless connection seems fine at 125 - 150 mbps and stays on. The internal adapter in the revo is n rated and my pc is connected to a belkin n router. Both systems are running windows 7, I've stopped and restareded fire sharing, left and rejoined workgroups. I've updated the revo's adapter's drivers which were out of date and updated the routers firmware. The odd thing is once in a while the shared folders will appear for a few moments on both computers but just as quickly this error comes up "Error Code: 0x80070035 - The network path was not found". I have spent many hours at this going around in circles. I know my router and main pc are ok beacuse my laptop running vista can conncet wirelessly without any problems and stream the movies to the laptop, so the folders are configured correctly for sharing. Other things i've tried is turning off both firewalls. As a side note both computers use windows firewall. As both machines are new neither has ever had a third party firewall installed. I have googled the error code but it does not point to anything specific

Sorry I don't have time to search for your answer, but Google is your friend. The first returns for a search for your error code look promising. If those links don't help, search Microsoft's Windows support pages for the same error code.

Good luck.

The Revo is basically an ATOM based Windows computer.

This is the way to share when Win 7 computers (and other Windows compute4rs) are on a network.

Win7 when configured on peer-to-peer Network has three types of Sharing configurations.

HomeGroup Network = Works only between Win 7 computers. This type of configuration makes it very easy to Entry Level Users to start Network sharing.

Work Network = Basically similar to the previous methods of sharing that let you control what, how, and to whom folders would be shared with.

Public Sharing = Public Network (like Internet cafe) to reduce security risks.

For best results log to each computer's System Screen and set all the computers to be on a Network with the same name while each computer has its own unique name.

Make sure that the Software Firewall on each computer allows free local traffic. If you use 3rd party Firewall On, Vista/XP Native Firewall should be Off, and the active Firewall has to adjusted to your Network IP numbers on what is some time called the Trusted Zone (consult your 3rd Party Firewall instructions

General example, http://www.ezlan.net/faq.html#trusted

Please Note that some 3rd party Software Firewalls keep blocking aspects of Local Traffic even it they are turned Off (disabled). If possible configure the Firewall correctly, or totally uninstall it to allow clean flow of local network traffic. If the 3rd party software is uninstalled or disables, make sure that Windows native Firewall is On .
------------------------------
If your network is comprised of Win 7 only and you want a simple Network, use this.

After configuring the Homegroup scroll down to the Permission/Security section.
-----------------------------
If you opt to use the more flexible Work Network, or have networked computer with other OS'.

Networking Win 7 as Work Network.

In the Network Center, clicking on the Network type opens the window to the right.

Choose your type of Network. Notice the check mark at the bottom, and check/uncheck it according to your needs.

When finished with the setting of the system it is advisable to Reboot all the hardware including the Router and all computers involved.

If you have Permission and Security issues, check the following settings.
Point to the a Folder that meant to to be share. Right click and choose properties.
In the properties
Click on the Security tab shown in the pic bellow to the right) and check that the users and their permission (shown in the pic bellow center and left) are correctly configured. Then do the same to the Permission tab.
This screen shot is from Win 7, Vista's menus are similar.

In both the Security panel, and the Permission panel you have to highlight each User/Group and examine that the Permission Controls are checked correctly.
When everything is OK, Reboot the Network (Router, and computer).
* Note . The Groups and Users shown in the screen-shoot are just an example. Your list will look the way your system is configured.
**Note . You have to establish specific users. Everyone means all of the users that already have an account and been established as users. It does not mean Everyone that feel that they would like to login.

---------------------
***Note. Some of the processes described above are done Not for Windows sake but to compensate for different Routers and the way their firmware works and stores the info about the computers that are Networked.

Just to update you guys, I've figured out the problem. I decided I would bring the netop into the same room as the main pc and router with a view to wiring it up to the router. But I checked the wireless connection again and low and behold all shared folders up and running like magic. It appears that what I thought was a good enough connection was not good enough. The solid brick walls and pc's seemed to affect the signal. The router is now in the attic and I can stream movies to my hearts content. Anyhow thanks again for taking the time to respond to my problem.
