    Hello @zillah

    Hope you are having a good Friday.

    I found this: FIX: Error code 0x80070035 - The network path was not found

    Hopefully it helps and is relevant.

    First have you setup a share. Second you must give the share you want to map is \\desktop\sharename if it still gives the error use IP ie \\192.168.1.21\,sharename

    That is done long ago as I have many other computers at home sharing that drive

    use IP ie \\192.168.1.21\,sharename
    Forgot to try that ,,,,I will try it and see how it goes

    From my work laptop I did try to ping the desktop but ping failed !!!
    I disabled domain and private firewall still failed

    Is it in the same workgroup if not it wont show up
    From memory in past I had connected a computer to a shared folder and both PCs they had different workgroup names. ,,,,but I wasn't sure
    Today I did a test from the work laptop which is differently not the same name as my home workgroup name and I tried a desktop at home by changing its workgroup name both of them were able to connect to a shared folder!!!!

    The issue was ESET Internet Security blocking connections for my work laptop and others desktops at home

    The ESET is installed on the same computer where shared folder is located ,,,,,as soon as I disabled its firewall everything worked fine.

    Now I need to figure out how to enable the exceptions for home PCs to access the shared folder
