Windows cannot access \\TOWER

[Cetje54]

So, there are many posts like this, but none of them seem to have helped me so I'm going to post it myself and see if this helps!

 

On my network I have set-up a temporary unRAID test server, by using an old pc with a pentium and 4GB of DDR2 RAM.

 

The thing is, from my main gaming PC with Windows 10 I can access the webGUI just normally, both via IP and http://tower

But in Windows Explorer, its a different story, the tower shows up in the Network "area", but when I click on it it says Windows cannot access \\TOWER, and show details gives me the error code 0x80070035: The network path was not found.

 

I have tried all sorts of things, and yes the server is the Local Master etc.

 

I can access the server from my other Win10 PC just fine and copy files etc.

 

Thanks for your help!

 

EDIT: I also tried mapping a network drive (location not valid) and just the IP in Windows Explorer

I'm having the same issue. Was you able to find a solution?

Yes, the problem turned out to be related to my version of Windows 10: Windows 10 Education.

 

I solved it by changing some group policy settings related to guest access.

If you need more help just tell me.
