costianuv Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Heya! Had a working SMB set-up up until I've re-installed Windows on my main PC. Now I'm unable to connect to my unraid server via the (windows discovered) network location listed under Network (in explorer). I'm getting the dreaded Error code: 0x80070035. The network path was not found. Been bashing my head against it, checked and tried most of the posts revolving this (enable SMB 1.0, lanmanworkstation enable insecure guest logons) Funny thing is that I'm able to access it like so: \\<unraid_server_ip>\ Not sure how SMB resolves host names but I'm pretty sure DHCP ain't it.

Note that security is different depending on the favor of windows-- Home, PRO, Enterprise, Education, etc. SMB access is definitely one area where the 'favor' makes a difference in how things are setup...

No changes though. Since I can't find any other culprit I'm blaming this new Windows build. This Pro N variant should only lack some media player stuff (googled). Getting late on my end but I'm going to go back to that 'mega-thread' tomorrow and try each one of those items from the list. Quote Link to comment
Frank1940 Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 (edited) Since you are running WIN10 PRO, be sure that you apply the 'Edit Group Policy' change that you will find in the mega-thread. (don't have time to look for it at this time...) EDIT: There seems to be a lot of folks who have had issues with ver. 20H2. Some folks have not been able to resolve the problem yet... No sure what happened with this release... Did MS make some change that the 'herd' hasn't figured out yet??? Yet others don't have a problem. The old witchcraft thing!

(don't have time to look for it at this time...) I think that's the insecure guest logons which I've enabled. Had to get down and dirty with this so I've installed Wireshark to check SMB over TCP 445. Oddities ensue. Looks like when I try to access with hostname ("Overlord") SYN packets are sent and retransmitted towards the pfSense router. These are ignored as it does not run SMB service. Now I just have to figure out why this hostname points to the wrong IP address. LE: Seems there was a stale DNS entry in my Windows PC. This was obvious after I pinged by hostname and returned the router gateway IP. This is from some old host override that I've added and since then removed from DNS Resolver. ipconfig /flushdns ipconfig /registerdns ipconfig /release ipconfig /renew netsh winsock reset Checked with ping. Checked with explorer access. Back on track. Can bust open a beer now. LLE: @Frank1940 This begs the question: Why did a DNS Host override end up affecting SMB/NetBIOS? Don't know about you but this grinds my gears. Maybe you know something that I don't. Edited February 18, 2021 by costianuv Quote Link to comment
