I have three machines all running XPSP2. The main machine is called
Figaro
the other two are quality and jfk. I have mapped some of the drives on
Figaro
to the other two machines and for some reason those mapped drives are
no
longer accessible. In Explorer they show up as disconnected network
drives
and when I click on one I get the error message, "An error occured
while
reconnecting P: to \\FIGARO\C$ Microsoft Windows Network : The network
name
cannot be found. This connection has not been restored. I disconnected
the
mapped C Drive from Figaro and I cannot remap it. I get the error
message
"The network path \\figaro\c$ cannot be found." It doesn't matter if
the
firewalls (Kaspersky Internet Suite) are on or off.
What is truly weird is that I can connect to Figaro from quality using
remote desktop. I can ping Figaro from quality and vice versa. If I
open
"My
Network Places" on quality and go to entire Network > Microsoft Windows
Network > Workgroup (The name of my workgroup) > it lists all three
machines.
When I click on Figaro I can see all the printer, Shared Docs, printer
and
faxes and Scheduled tasks folders.

Doing all of the above on the third box, jfk, yields the same results.

From figaro Win Explorer I have access to the drives I mapped from jfk
and
all the drives on Quality show up (when running Remote Desktop from
quality
to Figaro) as Disk From Remote Desktop Connection and I can access
them.

ipconfig /all from figaro shows:

If I disconnect Remote Desktop (quality to Figaro) and try and map a
network
drive from quality on to Figaro \\quality\c$ I get the error message
"the
network path \\quality\c$ could not be found". If I go into Figaro's My
Network Places > Entire Network > Microsoft Windows Network > workgroup
.
all
the computers are there.

I have flushed the DSN cache and run repair on "locl Area Connection"
to
no
avail.

Anyone have any suggestions??

Thanks



I don't see C$ in your output of net share...
That is odd. I thought that administrative shares could not be deleted.
But, if it isn't shared, then it cannot be mapped.
Are you certain that you ran this command on the correct computer?
