Installed WinXP RC2 and now I cannot connect to mapped network drives.

[PC Freak]

My mapped network drive shows up in My Computer normally, no red X, but I cannot connect to it. I get the message, "An error occurred while reconnection X: to \\network path Microsoft Windows Networking: The network path was not found. This connection has not been restored."

I also tried going to start run and typing \\192.168.1.102 which use to work, but now doesn't.

Anyone have any ideas? I thought it may be because of the new firewall/security features, but I haven't found any thing that has helped.

what protocol are you using? Netbios or plain TCP/IP?

TCP/IP

Internet works, and I can ping the computer I'm tring map access.

Go to control panel, windows firewall. Click on the exceptions tab. Make sure file and print sharing is checked.

It is STaSh. I have also turned off the FireWaLL

I use XPSP2 and have no problem with Disk Mapping.

Could be that something changed in the Network Setting during the upgrade.

Go carefully over the sharing settings: Sharing Disk Drives between Computers on Windows Network.
