Alright, I am having the same problem... I am on Windows Vista Ultimate SP1.
It worked GREAT until I installed the Novell Client so I could map my schools network drives to my account. It is weird because I can connect to my schools networked drives just fine from 'Network' BUT! When I go to connect to my own server or any other computer with open file sharing it won’t work. It finds them but when I try to connect I get this message. For example my server **Windows Server 2003** "\\RAMSDEN-HOME is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions. The specified network provider is invalid." Can someone please help me! I really am stuck here and I need my network back up and running prompt!!! "Trax1963" wrote: I cannot connect to my other computer!

Hi all, had to come back to this as it was a real pain at the time and also I have been having trouble again with it on Windows 7. It seems there is a solution but few know about it. Well here we are with the solution for you... _SOLUTION:_ Check in the 'Adapter properties' that the "Client for Microsoft Networks" is installed. Well good luck with your Network problems and I hope this fixed the problem for you! -- Trax1963 Say it the nice way even though you may not mean it! |

Thanks Trax - you're a life saver. I got hit with some weird bug and it first did not allow me to connect to the internet, then it wouldn't let me see anything on my network. I added in the MS Client and did a hard restart and everything worked.
Thanks again Graebeard |
