0x80004005 (Unspecified error) when accessing network share in Windows 7












0















I'm getting error 0x80004005 when trying to access a network share in Windows 7. The network share was created from a Windows 7 computer and is being accessed by a Windows 7 computer. The same exact configuration worked properly a month ago and for whatever reason doesn't work anymore.



I've tried




  • Creating HKLMSOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionPoliciesSystemLocalAccountTokenFilterPolicy and setting the value to 1

  • Removing all 6to4 adapters in Device Manager

  • Disabling IPv6 and setting IPv4 to a static address on the same subnet mask as the other computer

  • Verifying the two computers are on the same workgroup

  • Disabling the firewall and antivirus

  • Updating Windows

  • Accessing the share using \[IP_ADDRESS][SHARE] and \[HOSTNAME][SHARE]

  • On the host computer (server) checking \localhost for the share - the share does appear and I can access files

  • Enabling NetBIOS over TCP/IP


How can I access this network share? Any help would be appreciated!

  • Recent patches disable SMB v1. Have you tried reenabling it on the guest device?

  • Both machines are Windows 7; is that only for Windows 10 machines?
