windows - All File And Printer Sharing Doesn't Work, Error 0x80070035 on Access, Any Network, Any PC

I am experiencing a problem across all of my Windows 10 devices (and, previously, Windows 7 devices) -- basically, any attempt to access a Windows network share over the network ends in Error 0x80070035, "Network Path Not Found".


There are three PCs in play here, two running Win 10 Home and one running Windows 10 Pro. The Win 10 Pro machine previously ran Win 7 Ultimate as well as Linux Mint and I encounter errors if I attempt to use them too. (Though, I remember Win7 working a long time ago)


Strangely, all the computers affected can see each other in Network Neighborhood!


Note that I have been able to transfer files via SMB when both sides of the connection are powered by Samba or a really old version of Windows. But if that side is running a recently patched version of Windows with what I think is SMBv3, then life is 0x80070035.


Most frustratingly, just yesterday a brand new laptop arrived and it too displays this issue. I've done extensive research on 0x80070035, and while there are a ton of proposed solutions it seems that nobody actually understands what this error actually means and there is no definite path for troubleshooting it.


I have (unsuccessfully) tried:



  • Putting each PC on Static IP, both on a switched network and via crossover, and verified connectivity with ping and Steam notifications

  • Tried to talk to each via \\IP.ADDRESS or \\HOSTNAME

  • Checked the status of TCP/IP NetBIOS helper (always running, with 'Manual (triggered)' as its startup)

  • Edited Network Access/Network Security settings in secpol.msc on the machine with Win 10 pro (I don't have these edits in front of me, though one was making sure NTLM would negotiate properly)

  • Taken each machine in and out of homegroups

  • overridden hostnames in c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

  • ensured all computers authenticate with login/password instead of that stupid new system that it uses

  • made sure 'Enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP' is set

  • other fixes attempted over the last year that I cannot recall (I'll edit them in later if I remember them)


While fixing the issue would be nice it would be even better to understand what exactly whats going on here. All I can recall is that Win7 stopped working around the time that SMBv2 vulnerability went around and I suspect, in the case of Win7, that that functionality was directly tied to that patch.


Beyond that, however, I am lost. It would be great if there was a checklist of things I could verify. Anyone?


edit: in examining a Wireshark dump of the conversation, I can see the two machines talking to each other -- first they negotiate SMB1, then SMB2, then someone sends a TCP ACK and then the other side follows up with a TCP RST (?) This makes me think it is the firewall but I have disengaged the firewall...

Use Google instead of Bing with Windows 10 search

I want to use Google Chrome and Google search instead of Bing when I search in Windows 10. Google Chrome is launched when I click on web, but it's Bing search. (My default search engine on Google and Edge is http://www.google.com ) I haven't found how to configure that. Someone can help me ? Answer There is no way to change the default in Cortana itself but you can redirect it in Chrome. You said that it opens the results in the Chrome browser but it used Bing search right? There's a Chrome extension now that will redirect Bing to Google, DuckDuckGo, or Yahoo , whichever you prefer. More information on that in the second link.

linux - Using an index to make grep faster?

I find myself grepping the same codebase over and over. While it works great, each command takes about 10 seconds, so I am thinking about ways to make it faster. So can grep use some sort of index? I understand an index probably won't help for complicated regexps, but I use mostly very simple patters. Does an indexer exist for this case? EDIT: I know about ctags and the like, but I would like to do full-text search. Answer what about cscope , does this match your shoes? Allows searching code for: all references to a symbol global definitions functions called by a function functions calling a function text string regular expression pattern a file files including a file

How do I transmit a single hexadecimal value serial data in PuTTY using an Alt code?

I am trying to sent a specific hexadecimal value across a serial COM port using PuTTY. Specifically, I want to send the hex codes 9C, B6, FC, and 8B. I have looked up the Alt codes for these and they are 156, 182, 252, and 139 respectively. However, whenever I input the Alt codes, a preceding hex value of C2 is sent before 9C, B6, and 8B so the values that are sent are C2 9C, C2 B6, and C2 8B. The value for FC is changed to C3 FC. Why are these values being placed before the hex value and why is FC being changed altogether? To me, it seems like there is a problem internally converting the Alt code to hex. Is there a way to directly input hex values without using Alt codes in PuTTY? Answer What you're seeing is just ordinary text character set conversion. As far as PuTTY is concerned, you are typing (and reading) text , not raw binary data, therefore it has to convert the text to bytes in whatever configured character set before sending it over the wire. In other words, when y

networking - Windows 10, can ping other PC but cannot access shared folders! What gives?

I have a computer running Windows 7 that shares a Git repo on drive D. Let's call this PC " win7 ". This repo is the origin of a project that we push to and pull from. The network is a wireless network. One PC on this network is running on Windows 10. Let's call this PC " win10 ". Win10 can ping every other PC on the network including win7 . Win7 can ping win10 . Win7 can access all shared files on win10 . Neither of the PCs have passwords. Problem : Win10 cannot access any shared files on win7 , not from Explorer, nor from Git Bash or any other Git management system (E-Git on Eclipse or Visual Studio). So, win10 cannot pull/push. Every other PC on the network can access win7 shared files and push/pull to/from the shared Git origin. What's wrong with Windows 10? I have tried these: Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Network and Sharing Center\Advanced sharing settings\ File sharing is on, Discovery is on, Password protected sharing is off Adapte
