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...

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...

linux - Extract/save a mail attachment using bash

Using normal bash tools (ie, built-ins or commonly-available command-line tools), is it possible, and how to extract/save attachments on emails? For example, say I have a nightly report which arrives via email but is a zip archive of several log files. I want to save all those zips into a backup directory. How would I accomplish that? Answer If you're aiming for portability, beware that there are several different versions of mail(1) and mailx(1) . There's a POSIX mailx command, but with very few requirements. And none of the implementations I have seem to parse attachments anyway. You might have the mpack package . Its munpack command saves all parts of a MIME message into separate files, then all you have to do is save the interesting parts and clean up the rest. There's also metamail . An equivalent of munpack is metamail -wy .

Desktop reboots itself on sleep or hibernate

I have been using an ASUS M2NPV-VM motherboard for main home desktop workstation, operating Windows Vista x64. This computer has right from day one not been able to enter hibernate or standby; after Windows performs its final actions and brings the machine down, it would automatically revive itself for a reboot. Updating to the second latest BIOS (1201)has not helped (the latest BIOS revision would induce video refresh problems rendering it unusable). I have been reading related discussions on incidents similar to mine to no avail of a true workable solution. They appear to be more speculative guesses rather than actual knowledge on the inner workings of motherboard hardware. Does anybody have any electronic engineering experience on PC energy-saving standards to provide a more informed opinion how to go about getting this to work? More stories: this motherboard could not even reboot properly the first thing i used it. It was due to refresh rate of the onboard GPU, which had no influe...

keyboard - Is there any utility/method to change Windows key bindings to type rare chars to currently empty bindings?

I'm currently typing this post with my windows XP machine and (Spanish) keyboard, and I'd like to add some extra symbols to my text. I could open the "char map" windows utility, look for the desired symbols, and paste them. But I'd like something quickier. For example, when I'm using my OSX Mac at work, I can easily add a ©, ™, ® or similar symbols, just pressing some weird ALT-GR + G / H / J, key combinations. In my (Spanish) keyboard mapping, these combinations are empty, as they don't produce any char at all, which, on the other hand, is perfectly normal and desirable. So, I thought: Why couldn't I add some extra key mappings on top of my currently empty ALT-GR + G/J/H Keys in my Spanish keyboard, and thus, being able to quickly type these special symbols? So that's my question: Is there any utility/method to achieve that effect under windows? (My version is XP). I've even googled this for some time but no luck. I've been a long term Hot...
