I have a weird problem and I've tried everything I know to try. So here it is:

I can't access "ONE" and only one network folder share from only ONE computer. I can login on any other computer an access the folder but I can't get in from only one computer.

Does anyone have any clues as to what to do? My only other option is re-formatting and I do not want to take away the employees productivity if I can help it.

Thanks in advance,
Uber

I'm assuming that you are using the same username and password on each computer to access this shared folder?

Once before I had an issue somewhat similar to this where only one one computer, a domain admin user account was unable to connect to a shared folder. The permissions were set properly and on any other domain computer using that same domain admin account they were able to access it just fine. I still don't know what happened or what caused it, but it was something with the user profile or user settings on that single computer. I ended up having to remove the computer from the domain (back to a workgroup), delete all previous user accounts except for the local admin account we created (not the built-in Administrator) and then...

I will elaborate even more since I seemed to be a little redundant.

Can access shared folder from Computer A B and C just fine. No permission issues.

Log in as Admin to Computer D as admin and I cannot view the shared folder. I can view all other folders just not this one folder.

Hope this helps in explaining my problem.

After that they were able to access the necessary shared folder.

I don't know if this is the same situation though as what you are experiencing.
