Error codeL 0x80070035
The network path was not found"

I have tried:

Notes:

My pc has network access and internet access
I can see the icon for it in the "Network" page
All PCs are in the same Netbios and homegroup
All the other PC's can access the NAS

Anymore information please ask ahead =]!

Hello renren,

Did you create an Account in your NAS similar to your Windows UserName and Password?

Any Security program installed? Have you tried disabling your Windows Firewall temporarily?

 

[renren]

Yes i do have an account for the NAS, however i just use the "guest" with no p/w.

I have VIPRE security suite

Windows firewall is already disabled

I did a full network reboot and now i can type it in windows explorer, i dont really understand what happened.

Also if i leave my PC long enough it loses the ability to access the LAN, even quicker if i use VPN/openVPN. It cant see local PC's or the internet, it cant toggle (if its enabled it disables, but then cant go back to enabled)

It's better if you create an Identical User Account on your NAS and computer rather than using the Guest Account with no password.

From your Vipre Security Suite, make sure that allow Apps/Programs.

What should i be unblocking?

And what about the issue with my LAN failing?

I found a more detail instruction on how to allow IPs in Trusted Zones.
Setting VIPRE Antivirus Premium's Firewall to Trust a Network | Terry's Computer Tips

Are all the computers in your network using Vipre? The error that your getting is a very typical error usually if you have a 3rd party Security or Firewall programs installed.

 

[renren]

One is using VIPRE its fine, the other isusing norton and its fine as well. It just seems to be my PC that is having connectivity issues. The constant breaking after long periods of usage and connectivity to the NAS.

Ive followed other guides such as putting all the Windows7 pcs to homegroups and such, but everything keeps breaking.

Could you detail how i can get the logs to show you the issue?

 

[renren]

Here is something which may help with diagnostic!
Event viewer log

Edit:

Also i cant access the NAS until i log in to it via the address bar. Trying via the icon in network throws the error.

Just to confirm, only one PC is having this issue, correct?

You may try disabling the Power Management mode of the affected network adapter, here's an image to give you a clue.

Also, try to disable the Firewall feature of your Security Suite just to test it out.

 

[renren]

Only one computer has this issue.

Ive disabled the whole suite and it still wont let me in.

It shows up on the left bar's network group and in the network location, though i can access the NAS via the address bar, only then can i go through the other routes.

Should i disable it then do a reboot to check connectivity?

EDIT: ive done what i mentioned above but its still having issues.

You might want to check if you have the latest driver for your network adapter.

I used the Z77 ASrock Extreme 4

At the vendors site ASRock > Products > Motherboard > Z77 Extreme4 > Download it issued version ver:14.8.4.1

To check if i had the latest i went to Broadcom

Broadcom License Agreement | Broadcom

Apparently my mobo used the k57 on its board. and hence i installed the 15-4-0-9

Anything else can you suggest?

Have you rebooted the NAS? Try accessing the name of the NAS or IP Address when you click on Start orb then type \\NAS Name or \\NAS IP Address.

Yeah like i said when i do that (entering the nas via address bar) i can actually access the nas from network afterwards.

To get into NAS boxes you might want to consider adjusting the lanman server settings on the Win7 Ult. machine. These settings are famous for getting people into old servers and NAS boxes.

This link shows you which adjustments to make. > Solved W2K3 Server can access W8 W8 computer cant see W2K server

Control Panel - Administrative Tools - Local Security Policy

Local Policies - Security Options

Network security: LAN Manager authentication level
Set to Send LM & NTLM responses only

Set the Minimum session security for NTLM SSP
Disable Require 128-bit encryption

Reboot all machines after making the adjustment.

I followed this and it didnt work.

Im not sure what to do now, connecting to the NAS N7700 PRO at first boot isnt working and if i leave downloads on over night the PC becomes unable to connect to the network and i cant toggle the state of the LAN adapters.

Should i try for a fresh repair install?

Try disabling the power saving mode of your network adapter and also change the Speed and Duplex (by default it's on Auto Negotiation) from your computer's Device Manager. See 2 images attached.

I found something strange my available values only go up to 100 Full Duplex but my network is 1Gb (im sure)

I will check the cables and such and get back to you soon

 

[2xg]

You may also set to 100 full duplex if that's all your NIC can handle, but for a faster transfer rate you should consider getting a gig NIC.

Im pretty sure im looking at the properties of the onboard NIC, also if look at TaskManager>Networking it says its linkspeed is 1Gbps
