Hello
I am trying to connect to this computer on the workgroup network through run
and it comes up with this message that the network connection does not exist
or can't be found but when you ping that pc's ip address you get a reply.
This problem occurs with all user profile logins. and i repaired the ip
address and it is on obtain ip automaticaly which is what it is supposed to
be on.
Please can somebody help?
Thanks
 
It could be the name resolution issue or computer browser issue. What's the system error if using net view \\ipaddress?

Thanks for the reply Robert
When i type in just net view in cmd it says: The list of servers for this
workgroup is not currently available
Then when i type net view \\192.168.10.5 it says: System error 53 has
occured the network path was not found.
Thanks for your help.
 
If you can net view IP, that is name resolution issue. System error could be the firewall issue though.
