Usually, the most common reasons for this error revolve around Firewall, Anti-virus or DNS.

Method 1: Disable Firewall

Disable firewall and also disable the antivirus temporarily. After it has been disabled, go back to the Network & Sharing Center and check if you can access the resource, if not delete the share and re-add it and test. If it works, issue is your firewall which needs to be configured, if it doesn’t let the firewall stay disabled and move on to Method 2:

Method 2: Check Network Discovery

Make sure network discovery is turned on on the computer trying to access the resource.

Method 3: Reinstall Network Adapter Drivers

First, try to update your network drivers and see if that solves the issue for you, if not, then uninstall and reinstall the drivers for your network adapter. You can do so, by following the steps below.

Method 4: Check Device Manager

  1. Go to Device Manager and expand Network Adapters.
  2. Click view from top and select show hidden devices.
  3. Look at the adapters, if you see a long list of 6to4 Adapter, right click on them and delete all of them except 1.
  4. Once you have only 1 of these adapters left, reboot PC and test.

Method 5: Enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP

1. Hold Windows Key and Press R. Type ncpa.cpl and Click OK 2. Right-Click on the connection and choose Properties. 3. Click “Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Version 4” in the list. 4. Click Properties, and then click Advanced. 5. On the Advanced TCP/IP settings windows, go to “WINS” tab. 6. Under NetBIOS setting, click “Enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP”, and then click OK.

Method 6: Using Correct IP Address Command

In some cases, if you are trying to connect to a specific IP address across the computer or are trying to connect using the hostname, you need to be sure that you are using the correct command. Make sure that you use the following command format to ensure there aren’t any miscommunications.

Method 7: Sharing Folder

It is possible that the “network path not found” error is being triggered because the network path that you are trying to access hasn’t been shared. Therefore, in this step, we will be checking the path properties to see if it has been shared on the network. For that:

Method 8: Enabling Service

There are some services that make the sharing of files on a network possible by helping the two computers communicate with each other. If these services are disabled, the network path might not be detected. Therefore, in this step, we will be enabling these services. For that:

Method 9: Deleting Registry Folder

It is very important that you backup your registry before proceeding with this step. This step is necessary because in some cases the registry folder that we are going to be deleting is filled with incorrect or outdated configurations that prevent the network path from being found. In order to do so:

Method 10: Changing Security Policies

In certain situations, the local security policies might be preventing your computer from functioning properly. Therefore, in this step, we will be opening the policy manager and then define a policy for our local security. For that:

Method 11: Editing Hosts File

In certain cases, you will need to edit your host file to resolve the hostnames of your machine. This host file can be found in the system 32 folder and is used by the Operating system as an instruction manual to resolve the hostnames. In order to edit the hosts file.1 Note: If you are trying to access the network on a Virtual Machine, try using an older boot image and check if that fixes things.

Method 12: Use SMB1

In some cases, the SMB3 protocol might be the reason behind the occurrence of this error on Windows Server. Therefore, in this step, we will be enabling the use of SMB1. For that:

Method 13: Flush DNS

If all else fails, flush your DNS and go to “ncpa.cpl” in Run prompt and disable and enable your network adapter. This should fix the issue as a last resort.
