Error Code 0x080004005 Windows Cannot Access \\192.168.1.4

SOLVED: How to Fix Error 0x80004005 - Appuals.com

Look for the section Error 0x80004005 when accessing a Shared Drive/Folder. I strongly suggest backing up the registry before taking any action. As a disclaimer I have not actually experienced this error so I don't know if the solution will work. How To Back Up the Registry (Windows 10, 8, 7, Vista, XP)

From the start menu type in cmd. RIGHT CLICK on it and select run as administrator. In the command prompt type in SFC /scannow. Hit enter and let that run. Post back the results.

Type regedit and click OK
Navigate to the following path in regedit

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System

For 32 bit system, create a new DWORD value called LocalAccountTokenFilterPolicy.
For a 64 bit system, make a QWORD (64-bit) called LocalAccountTokenFilterPolicy.
In either case, set the value to numeric 1 (meaning on), and remember to click OK.

You followed this and it didn't work?

Hi rcsjohnathan, welcome to 7F! :)

With 0x080004005 being an unspecified error there are many possibilities for why it was generated, usually you concentrate in the area that's giving you the problem and in your case it is networking or lack of.

My first thought was that switch you have in the network and if that may be bad and I was going to suggest to try plugging it into another port on the switch, if you don't have any extra ports just swap with one of the other networked machines and test, but I'd like you to check for a setting.

Go to your Local Area Network Connection Status window, if you're not sure how to do that follow the instructions in the link but when you get to step 4. click on Properties at the bottom of the context menu instead of create shortcut.

   Note

If you know which connection is for the laptop start with that one.

When properties open do you see "Client for Microsoft Networks" and is it checked?

• If not check it and test.

• If it isn't listed click on the Install button, pick Client and then Add, and check if necessary, then test.

• I don't believe a restart is required unless windows asks for it.

• Check for the "Client" for all network connections, bridges, switches, etc. that are listed.

• If no success you may have to remove your earlier registry edit and test.

This could also be a credentials problem i.e. passwords.
