Weird networks, causing weird problems. I am a new employee at this company, the network is a bit weird, but I have figured it out to a degree. I have some networking knowledge, but not greatly versed.
I have a Windows 7 machine in the front office. It is setup for serving some network drives, and some software. Quickbooks, Wasp Barcode System, etc.
I have a computer connected to the switch in the second building that I am trying to connect the the Windows 7 (Server) in the front office.
I am unable to do so. I keep getting Network Path errors, I have turned Ping echo on the "Server" but do not receive responses. I can see it when I look at the Network in Explorer, but cannot open it (Error Code 0x80070035 The network path was not found). I have checked the sharing settings on both computers, they are ok (see attached). Firewall is disabled on the "Server". I am attaching a quick diagram that I drew up.
I can ping the server from the front office. I can also view the shared drive from the "Server" from my main machine in the front office. I am on the same switch at that time.
I can provide more info if needed.
Any Suggestions?
