From: Nick on 22 Feb 2010 10:20 I have a coworker that is trying to map a network drive but he can not. He has other drives mapped and can get access to them. He can get to the drive he needs by typing the path in explorer, but he needs constant access so I need to find out how to get the mapping to work.
From: Jack [MVP-Networking] on 22 Feb 2010 11:48 Hi Can you describe how he tries to map, and what exactly happens when he tries to map? Jack (MS, MVP-Networking).

From: Nick on 22 Feb 2010 12:31 When he tries to map he opens My Computer and goes to Tools-->Map Network Drive and selects the letter he wants to set the drive as. He then clicks on browse and navigates to the folder he wants clicks OK and then clicks Finish then a dialog box pops up which says access is denied. One thing I found after posting this question was that on other computers all network folders show up under the domain name section while on his computer the folders show up under the workgroup section. I have tried removing and readding him to the domain along with rebooting the computer but nothing has worked and it still shows him connected to the domain.

From: Jack [MVP-Networking] on 22 Feb 2010 12:48 Hi A Folder/Drive can be mapped only if the Sharing is available. If an Access Denied appears it means that the Sharing is Not clear and needs to be first Re-Configured. Make sure that the Software Firewall on each computer allows free local traffic. If you use 3rd party Firewall On, Vista/XP Native Firewall should be Off, and the active Firewall has to adjusted to your Network IP numbers on what is some time called the Trusted Zone (consult your 3rd Party Firewall instructions.

All this should be correct because he had it mapped before but he can't map it again and other people in the office have it mapped with no problem "Jack [MVP-Networking]" wrote: > Hi > A Folder/Drive can be mapped only if the Sharing is available. > If an Access Denied appears it means that the Sharing is Not clear and needs > to be first Re-Configured. > Make sure that the Software Firewall on each computer allows free local > traffic.
