Mapped Network Drive Issues (Windows)

This isn’t just for FOCUS, but it is a common problem having to do with not being able to Map a network drive and receiving a windows error code 0x80070035.

This happens when you have a share on a server that you are trying to map to and get the windows error code 0x80070035.

This is a two step check

Step one – Modify the Network Adapter

  1. Press Windows + R on the keybpard, and type control panel in the search box and then press Enter.
  2. Click View network status and tasks under Network and Internet.
  3. Click Change adapter settings in the left pane.
  4. Right-Click on the connection and choose Properties.
  5.   Click “Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Version 4” in the list.
  6. Click Properties, and then click Advanced.
  7.  On the Advanced TCP/IP settings windows, go to “WINS” tab.
  8. Under NetBIOS setting, click “Enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP”, and then click OK.

Step Two – Try Mapping the Drive with the Drive IP address

If trying to map a drive with a name and you have no success, try mapping the drive with the ip address instead.  Ie

\\DRIVENAME\SHAREDFOLDERNAME – may not work

\\192.168.0.118\SHAREDFOLDERNAME – which should work
