I'm connected to my college network via VPN and would like to map a network drive. When I try to access the share on the network form 'RUN', it sure does ask me the username/password credentials, but I understand the domain is the problem here.The domain it's trying to use is apparently wrong and I'm not able to change it. Any ideas? The domain it's giving is Domain : <Windows 7 system username>-PC Which is not what I want. I'm not able to change it as well EDIT:I just gave the domain name as part of the username and it worked! For example : username : Campususerid
"Instead of having her do a remote connection to one of our desktops, its seems to me it would be more convenient for her for us to setup a workstation with direct access to our domain network in her office. She will also need a laser printer and a scanner on her end, and be able to send to ours on our end." what steps need to be taken to get her computer set up and running with direct access to their domain. She is running Windows 7 32bit.
I just made a custom Windows 7 computer image for my company with all the bells and whistles that I've learned from this site and the Microsoft security forums.However, I went to join it to the domain and I get the following message:"the following error occured when attempting to join the domain.....; the network location cannot be reached"-I am trying to add it to a server 2k3 domain-I can ping IP and FQDN of DC-can add other windows 7 machines to domain-can add XP machines with similar security settingsI firmly believe that it is a registry edit I have made or a gpedit that I made, I'm just really not sure which one and it seems like I tried changing all the major ones back
I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate on a network w/ 2003 Windows domain. When I first added this computer to the domain, everything worked fine for about a month. Then one morning I came into the office, tried logging in and received a message that the computer has lost it's trust connect with the domain.I logged into the server w/ the DC, reestablished the trust connection from the server side but the comp is still giving me the "Can't establish trust connection" error message when I logged in. My current workaround is unplug the network cable, log into the comp then replug the network cable.
I accidentally took my laptop off the domain while installing a printer from a workgroup network, and placed the laptop on the workgroup, once restarted I cannot log in anymore, I am trying the password recovery tools to log into the administrator account.Is there a way for me to roll back the settings and have it back on the domain the way it was without being connected to the domain?And to get the user account back the way it was (basically just the network settings) so that I do not have to setup a new profile and migrate all the settings and programs?
I am using Samba 3.5.8 and I am trying to join a Windows 7 64Bit laptop to my domain.
HP Pavillion dv6 Intel core i5 CPU M 520 @ 2.40GHz 2.40Ghz 4.00 GB RAM
However when I try join the domain i get the following message:"The following error occurred attempting to join the domain "MYDOMAIN"The specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted.If I do a nslookup it resolves the domain controller, as well if i watch the traffic I can only see UDP traffic on that IP, however i can still browse the web from it?
I just installed windows 7 on my laptop and attached it to the domain. I then rebooted and logged in to the domain but unable to see all my drive mappings that I see on my XP or Vista systems. I am able to hard map my drives. Can anyone help?
I have two domains, company.com and [URL] i need to be able to access the wifi that is on [URL] from a laptop that is joined to [URL]? im running win 7 pro 32 bit with the following security on the [URL] domain wifi
I have a External USB Drive that is Networked as a Network Drive, Windows7 will not allow me to disconnect the drive. The only option Seagate gave was to make sure the drive was not indexing which it's not, my goal is to disconnect the drive, connect it to another computer etc Followed by reconnecting it back to the previous computer and it continues on as a network drive or if I connect it to another computer it continues to act as network drive. Seagate told me that I'd have to purchase their NAS drive which I didn't want too.
I'm trying to user WebDrive on Windows 7 RC Bulid 7100 and i'm getting the following error when trying to connect to an FTP connection.
can't map network drive: (1204) The specified network provider name is invalid WebDrive is a well know program that maps FTP connections as if they were removable drives. It works fine on Vista and XP.
The problem is my win7 pro Desktop will not map my nas drive (wd mybookworld II edition 2TB),it does not even see it on the network. ( Network Discovery is ON )i have tried to map using \ipofmynaspublic,Problem found "The remote device or resource won't accept the connection"From a web browser i can access the WD Configuration Manager for the NAS via its IP and change settings if i like without any problems.Using a Laptop running win7 home i can map the NAS as normal and access the files,From my Desktop i can map the NAS and access the files from within Virtual PC XPmode The desktop & Laptop are in the same Homegroup and are all connected to a Router The NAS is also connected to the Router
I wanted to know if its possible to map a folder from my web-hosting account as a drive on Windows 7. I know I can map an FTP folder - but that gets mapped as a folder and NOT as a drive. The reason why I want to map something as a drive is so that I can use it for cloud storage.
Services like DropBox are blocked at my workplace so unfortunately I cannot use them and hence I am looking to map a folder from my personal web-hosting as a drive on my computer.
My web-hosting is a basic PHP-MySQL hosting with cPanel version 10.
Is it possible to pin a program to the task bar from a network drive. I right click and the option is not there. didn't know if there was a way around it?
recently moved a 1 Tb drive off my main computer and set it up as USB external drive on my Linksys E4200 router.I would like to add a folder on this drive to my 'pictures' library in Win 7. Messages tell me I cannot because it is not indexed. Context menu on the drive/folder dose not give option to index nor does the Windows Search allow me to add the networked drive as a location to be searched. Is there a workaround that can make the off-line drive searchable from my Win 7 machine?
In my new laptop, I have migrated to 7, but the majority of my data are still on my XP computer. I tired to used "Map Network Drive" from within the 7 machine to map the C drive of the XP machine, but unsuccessful!the the workgroup on both machines is the same = WORKGROUP also from 7, I can remotedesktop the XP machine with all local drives available remotely. previously, I have mapped between XP machines with no problem, but Im wondering this time why it doest work. is it due to 7-XP incompatibility(!??) or something?
I am using 2 Windows 7 Professional 64 bit machines and 1 Windows 7 Professional 32 bit machine on a wired Ethernet network.
The network works very well with one issue. When I add a new folder on one machine and try to access that new folder from another machine the new folder does not appear. I must disconnect the network drive from the machine with the new folder then map a new drive. When I map the new drive the new folder displays in Windows Explorer on the second machine.
This is very frustrating when I want to add an email attachment file from another machine and it won't display until I disconnect and re-map the drive.
I have a Drobo set up as a network drive -via droboshare - everything works fine, however applications (specifically backup software, drobo copy or Bonkey) cannot see the dirve which is mapped to z: when the application are set to run as administrator.
Drobocopy requires this so turning it off is not an option. Bonkey doesn't but I am having issues running it and I think turning it on might help. Any ideas? I have tried turning off my firewall but that hasn't helped.

So i plan on getting that Network Drive. Is there a way i can access it from anywhere over the internet without the pogo service or any other service, or if anything, a free service?
I am trying to map a network drive with an address like this: Quote: [URL] It's basically a folder on the school network, I can access this folder and view its contents perfectly fine through an internet browser, but when I try to map a network drive to it, it doesn't work, I keep getting errors like this: Quote: A device attached to the system is not functioning Why do I keep getting this message? And why am I able to access that folder through a browser but not through windows? I am using Windows 7 btw.
I have a small-business network set up, which is basically just a shared drive. The server is running Windows NT, and when I try to connect to it, my laptop (running Windows 7) asks for a username and password. I've entered the default ones for the router, and I don't know of any other password protections on the network. Any ideas?
Running Windows 7 Home Premuim ....running on a laptop wirelessly.
I have 2 network drives one I can access with no problem the other it keeps asking for my password but says it is incorrect. I have a a wired Win XP system that can access both network drives with no problem.
Seems it is something with the accounts and persmissions on the Win 7 system. I have played with all combinations. At a loss.
i can't map a normal network drive from internet: http://domain/folder. I always did it from Xp and Vista, but under Windows 7 it does not function even if i do the same way. when i finishe the map drive connect proced i get the connected internet drive icon - but it does not open, and soes not rispond on any click.
I mapped a network drive and checked reconnect at logon.The name is: myUserId (\serverNameHome).I have tried these things from an xp forum:
> Open a command prompt window (Start | Run | cmd) and enter this > command, substituting the actual drive letter for "D": > net use D: /delete
First, you need have a "Shared Folder" on your hard drive. If you haven't got one already, create a new folder on your hard drive called "Shared", then right-click it and select properties. Click the Sharing tab and tick the "Share this folder" box. Next, click "My Computer" and in the Tools Menu, click "Map Network Drive". Notice the little down-arrow next to the drive letter shown. Click the arrow to get a list of letters. Select the one you want to delete, then browse for your Shared folder and select it. By this means, you will assign the drive letter to a real folder. Make sure the "reconnect at login" box is un-ticked. Click the Finish button to get a warning. Answer YES and the Shared folder will open. Close it. Next, right-click the drive in My Computer and select disconnect. Ah, I hear you say, but it is still there! Re-boot and have another look - enjoy.The problem it causes is when I try to connect to a Citrix application a Windows folder is created on the mapped drive and stuff is put there.Then the Citrix app fails.
At startup, I'm asked to Map a network drive H:, but when I click OK it says it doesn't exist. I have a mapped drive on my router which works. How do I get rid of this startup question?
I run some CAD and compiler software that (unfortunately!) uses absolute path names in project files, so I need to access all my files with exactly the same path for my PC and my laptop. Enventually I want to put all files on an external NAS drive, but only have the PC at the moment.So my first thought was create a folder on my PC, say C:X_Drive, map it as a network drive, say X:, and share the folder as X: on the laptop. Then I'd always access files through the mapped drive, and all paths would be consistent, and moving to an external drive should be trivial.
This sort of works. I've set up the Security tab to give everyone full access. I can read and write the folder itself, but cannot write to the mapped drive version on the same PC, I'm warned I don't have permission. I'm an administrator and the only user on the system. I've tried UNC addressing and direct fixed IP addressing when mapping, no joy. Subst doesn't work properly either (drive comes up as disconnected in explorer, but I believe that's a known Windows bug).
Getting an error when trying to connect to a network drive 'An error occured while re-connecting.No more connections can be made to this remote computer at this time because there are already as many connections as the computer can accept'Now this has been setup with a local folder on the server shared and is being mapped to 19 people on the network.I looked under advanced permissions and can see max allowed connections set to 20, there are 19 people in the company but the problem lies that some bring in their laptops and attempt to connect to to the existing shares as well which is obviously causing problems as I can only allow max '20' connections to this mapped folder.Is there any fix that will allow Win 7 Pro x64 I can enter in the registry to allow more connections?
