Since you can ping by hostname/FQDN & IP, we can assume the TCP stack is loaded.
Can you access the shares via the loopback address (
\\127.0.0.1\$sharename
) from the host server?Have you verified that the share is up? (compmgmt.msc or
net share
)- Is the Server service running? Try restarting it (notice: will disconnect file sessions)
The Server service reads from:
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Shares
Verify your shares are there.
