Dear all,

when trying to access the DFS root via VPN from a Windows 10 domain member computer I always receive an error stating "Windows cannot access \eu.bm.net\dfs", Error Code: 0x80070035, The Network Path was not found. A ping to \eu.bm.net is working.

Any ideas? Thanks

Hi,

Error 0x80070035 means that the network path was not found.

Can you access the shared folder with IP address? Make sure NetBIOS over TCP/IP is enabled.

If yes, please try to use FQDN of the shared host to access the shared folder.

If we can access the shared folder with the FQDN, it should be a NetBIOS issue.

Please make sure that the VPN server can access the shared folder with NETBIOS name.

If the VPN server can't access the shared folder, we may need to add a WINS server.

Best Regards.
