OMV on Raspberry Pi Media Server - Windows 11 Error (0x80070035)

  • I've just built a new PC and installed Windows 11 on it.

    I have a home media server which I built using a Raspberry Pi 4 and the openmediavault package.

    My previous PC (running Windows 10) could connect to my media server no problem - it's only 2 or 3 days since I was doing this, and it worked fine. I had shared folders on the server mapped to drive letters in Windows File Explorer - the usual kind of thing.

    The server itself seems to be behaving completely normally - I can access it from my other devices (iPad, Apple TV, etc.) with no problems, and on my new PC I can see the OMV dashboard on my web browser - all working fine.

    Pinging the server from my new PC works fine, so the connection between the two is intact. I can SSH into the server using Powershell on my new PC, and that's fine too.

    But in Windows File Explorer I can't access the server. It shows up as an item under the "Network" tab, but when I click on it I see: "Windows cannot access \\<server name> - check the spelling of the name. Otherwise, there might be a problem with your network. To try to identify and resolve network problems, click Diagnose"...and at the bottom "Error code: 0x80070035 - the network path was not found".

    Clicking the "diagnose" button doesn't help - the Windows thingy doesn't find any problems.

    Does anyone know how I can fix this please? I tried to follow some guidance from ChatGPT but it just went round and round in circles and was unsuccessful.

    Thank you.

  • I have the same issue.


    Connecting using Windows 10 or MacOS works without any problems, none of my Windows 11 Computers can connect to the OMV Samba Server. "The network path was not found" but the Server shows up in Windows Explorer under Network. Enabling SMB1 or Guest Login in Windows did not change anything.

    I also tried a connect to Unraid or TrueNAS. Both can be connected without issues using the same Windows 11 computers.

  • On Windows 11 open Command Prompt as Admin and type the following command:

    Code
    sfc /scannow

    with me was the solution.
