Question:I've an annoying problem with windows 7:
I cannot connect to windows shares in the local network when I join the network before I booted up.
The thing is, it works fine after I restart, but I cannot log-in without restarting. It has nothing to do with login, because I cannot access the shares when I logout and login again, either - that is - if I don't restart. It only works when I restart.
This is soooo annoying.
Anybody knows what the problem is ? Or does this have something to do with disconnecting the computer without logging-out the previous day ? I think it has nothing to do with the network at all. I think the connection of the previous day is still somewhere in RAM locally. So if I don't restart, then it's trying to use a connection that has been invalidated...

ping
the machines where the other shares are location and have you checkedipconfig
? Just to rule out the possibility that it is an issue with your network connectivity. Also, I'm not sure what you mean by "join the network before I booted up" - how can you join a network before starting the machine up? -
Kurt Pfeifle over 13 yearsTry this command in a 'DOS box' window:
net use
. Does it show any shares which might already be connected? Then type
net use * \\servername\sharename`. Does it give you an error message? If yes, which one? -

Marc Riera over 11 yearsnet use shows several connections, all of them "connected" , but I can not navigate inside them. If I use net use \\server\share it says "System error 64" . WTF!! I have this OS.
