Get Error when try to create Network Disk in Windows 7.
When I tried to use in command line: net use z: \\somesharename
I got some error like this:
“The Workstation Service Has Not Been Started” Net HELPMSG 2138
I have checked all services include LanmanServer and LanmanWorkstation,all this services have been started and working properly.
I have tried restart OS,but it didn’t help.
How I solved this issue.
1.I have checked and compared settings HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\NetworkProvider on PC with problem and PC without the problem both of them with Win7.And I saw different registry settings.
2.I have imported registry settings from PC without problem to PC with problem,what settings was import you can see below.
Old registry folder I previously renamed to “NetworkProvider_”.
NetworkProvider
Instance of properly working registry settings with right settings:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\NetworkProvider]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\NetworkProvider\HwOrder]
“ProviderOrder”=”RDPNP,LanmanWorkstation,webclient”
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\NetworkProvider\Order]
“ProviderOrder”=”RDPNP,LanmanWorkstation,webclient”
That solved my problem !
Registry settings were wrong.
Great job !
Thanks a lot !
Thanks Falcom
Excellent…. solved my problem.
Happened to me on a Windows 10 box after Windows Updates. Fixed thanks to this thread.
The fix works on Windows 10 version 1803, too.
Thanks a lot!
