Windows 10: Specified network name is no longer available

I use one Win10 PC as server to share files, and some Win10 PC as client to visit it. Other clients is ok, one client can not visit server by \\192.168.xxx.xxxserver ip with user and password set by "net use" command.

the error is "Specified network name is no longer available" code 64. and also have error code 80004005 sometimes. How can I fix it? Please help.

“The specified network name is no longer available”

Ed,

This gets curiouser and curiouser! The default gateway is 192.168.1.1. I CANNOT connect using that IP and the latest update. I reverted to my previous Win 10 build and can easily connect using the IP rather than the \\Shamrock-2. Of course, there’s no Cortana. I'm missing something somewhere.

Hi Satish,

It could be an outdated driver or misconfigured settings why this issue occurs. Let's troubleshoot your issue by running the Network Troubleshooter. This troubleshooter can help us to identify the cause of the issue and fix it at the same time.

To run the troubleshooter:

• First, in the search box on the taskbar, type Network troubleshooter.
• Then, select Identify and repair network problems from the list of results.
• Lastly, follow the steps in the troubleshooter and see if that fixes the issue.

If the issue still persists, we suggest the following:

1. Download and run the easy fix solution:

3. If Windows can’t find a new driver for your network adapter, visit the PC manufacturer’s website and download the latest network adapter driver from there.

4. Run the HomeGroup Reset troubleshooter.

• Connect your Windows 10 PC to a home network, and make sure no other PCs in the homegroup are connected.

“The specified network name is no longer available”

For a Windows 10 PC to be able to see a UNC resource of the form \\<device name>\<share name> then both devices should be in the same Workgroup and Network Discovery should be turned on. It may well be that when you reinstalled Windows 10 it was set to a default Workgroup name different from that of your router.

My router came pre-configured with a Workgroup of HOME. There are no user settings to change this, so all PC on my network (W10, W7, XP and on rare occasions W95) have to be set to be in the HOME Workgroup. They can all see each other's shares and a USB HDD shared by plugging it into the USB port on my router.

To check/change the Workgroup of a W10 system, go to Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\System and click 'Advanced system settings' (or just type Workgroup in the Search box). Look on the 'Computer name' tab.

For Network Discovery settings, go to Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Network and Sharing Centre\Advanced sharing settings
