Question : The Network Path Could Not Be Found

Experts,

I'm getting the error that my network path cannot be found.  I get this error frequently.

I have an XP laptop on a home network wiht a Vista desktop.  The last time I had this problem, I added "everyone" to the share on the desktop.  That worked for a day or two, but now when I try to map a network drive to that machine, I get the aforementioned error.

What's my next step?

Answer : The Network Path Could Not Be Found

Make sure the share still exists on the Vista computer.

Although I have never used a Vista box as a file server, typically when you get the network path can't be found problem it is because  either:

   the share has been removed or renamed
   the IP address of the computer has changed and a new computer has the old address and does not have the share
