Ok, this is an odd one. Starting last Thursday, I can't map drives between two Win11 Home machines I have in my house.
I'm using
net use t: \\PC1\SharedFolder Password123 /user:ShareUser
and I get the error:
System error 86 has occurred.
The specified network password is not correct.
The user ShareUser exists on PC1 and the password is correct (no, it's not the real password).
I also tried the same command using the IP address rather than the computer name with no change.
I read that KB5068861 can cause issues with sharing, so I uninstalled and hid that update. No change.
I created a new user, gave it access to the shared folder, and tried the command with the new username and password. No change.
running net view \\pc1 gives:
System error 5 has occurred.
Access is denied.
If I go to PC1 (the one with the folder that is shared) and run net view, I get:
System error 6118 has occurred.
The list of servers for this workgroup is not currently available
I'm assuming this is due to SMB 1.0 being turned off, so maybe that's not an issue.
Oddly, PC1 in File Explorer I can see PC2 (but no shares because there aren't any) but on PC2, I can't see PC (although I can see printers on the network).
I've tried resetting the network stack on both computers with:
netsh winsock reset
netsh int ip reset
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew
ipconfig /flushdns
ipconfig /registerdns
I've updated the NIC drivers.
If I do net use \\pc1 in a normal admin prompt, it prompts for the username and password and then gives the same error as above.
If I use psexec to elevate to a system prompt, then net use \\pc1 - it works, but net use t: \\PC1\SharedFolder Password123 /user:ShareUser gives the same error as above.
I've turned off the firewall on both PCs just in case, no change.
