Network path not found error 0x80070035

I have three systems on a home network: one running XP, one running Win 7 32-bit, and the other running Win 7 64-bit.

From the XP system, I can see the 32-bit Win 7 system and vice versa. But neither one can see the Win 7 64-bit system. On XP, I get the error: \\Win764System is not accessible. On the Win 7 32-bit system, I get the 0x80070035 error: The network path was not found.

On the Win 7 64-bit system, I get the 0x80070035 error when I try to navigate to either of the other two systems.

I have tried "Enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP" in the TCP/IPv4 properties. I have tried "Send LM & NTLM - use NTLMv2 session security if negotiated" in Local Security Policy. Nothing changes the behavior of the Win 7 64-bit system.

I have also tried disabling the Windows Firewall without success.

I have avast antivirus installed and tried stopping all of the real-time shields, but nothing changed the behavior.

Any other ideas? Thanks!

When I ran the command on the 64-bit system, it couldn't find ipconfig, so there's no ipconfig output. Here's what it gave me:

I should add that when I am in Windows Explorer, if I enter the IP address in the address bar, it finds that system and I can navigate to it. If I click on a system name under "Network" in the left pane of Windows Explorer, that's when I get the error that the network path cannot be found. It seems that it has a problem with the name resolution, but I have no idea how to fix it.

The Hamachi interface has been causing similar problems on Windows 7 recently. You might try disabling Hamachi and the Microsoft virtual wifil miniport adaptors.

I can disable Hamachi and the wifi miniport adaptors, but I'm not sure how to test whether it solves my problem. Even with Hamachi enabled, I can navigate to the systems I want using their IP addresses. With Hamachi disabled, the only way I know to get to a different system is with its IP address, but that's what I'm trying to avoid having to use.

It's when I click on the name of the system in the Network list in Windows Explorer that Windows tells me that there is a network path error.

Assuming that all these machines are in the same network and using the same workgroup name with the appropriate permissions you should have no problems accessing them.

It may help to go into the sharing and the security tabs on the 64 but machine's C drive, advanced sharing, "type in" "everyone" on both tabs, then use the check marks for access levels as desired.

They're not all in the same network. There are three systems in my network at home that I mentioned in my initial post. They are in the same network and workgroup. I also have some systems at my company's home office that I'm trying to access; they are not necessarily in the same workgroup. They are all showing up in Hamachi with green lights beside them, and they all list under Network in Windows Explorer. It's when I click on them in Windows Explorer that I get the error. And I get the same error when I try to click on the name of another system in my home network.

It seems to be a name resolution issue--that it can't figure out the IP address of a system that's listed by name so that it can navigate to it.

Also, it is only a problem on my laptop that is running the 64-bit version of Windows 7. It was brand new about a month ago.

Oh ok, didn't realize it was another network you were accessing using the Hamachi interface.

From what I have read about this problem it can be many things causing it so it's hard to diagnose precisely. The link below shows quite a few ways to resolve this problem but I have no idea which one might apply.
