I recently encountered an error with my router that required a factory reset in order to fix. I figured since I was already resetting everything, I’d might as well reorganize my network. I switched from 192 to 10 based IPs. I got all my devices configured and everything connects to the internet fine, no hiccups anywhere, except when I try to access my Windows network shares using any device on the network. They worked prior to the reconfiguration, but I also did updates when rebooting the machines, so I don’t know what the problem is. The errors I get are 0x80004005 (Unspecified error) when attempting to access \10.0.1.{deviceIP} and 0x80070035 (The network path was not found.) when attempting to access \{deviceName}. I’ve disabled all my firewalls, I’ve tried the registry changes, reconfiguring services, reconfiguring and even resetting network settings (including NetBIOS), and I’m out of ideas as to what the issue could be. The device shows up under Network on other devices, but attempting to access it hangs for a minute or two and then gives 0x80070035. FWIW, my network is configured to have 10.0.0.x be infrastructure (router and DNS), 10.0.1.x be personal devices (PCs, laptops, phones, anything I own, etc.), and 10.0.2.x is DHCP for visiting/guest devices or anything I can’t configure myself.

Any help is appreciated.

    I have checked that numerous times. The network is set to private. Sometimes it switches to Public if I turn on my VPN, but for testing purposes I’ve disabled that until I can successfully access a file share. One step at a time.

      Only 2 things I can come up with now is dns not updating on the router, or check and see if something added or edited the host files and that’s referencing the old network.

      it’s always dns

        I flushed my DNS records and flipped a couple settings off, but no change. I’ll experiment with DNS more by removing it from the equation when I have time. Thanks for the suggestion.

        I changed the DNS on the router and the devices to Google’s 8888. Cleared my hosts file, too, but still can’t access my files over the network.
