System error 58 means that authentication failure happened - at least I get this error if I mistype my password.
I encountered the same problem too. I was given a network share name, and username and a password to access it. I tried it, but failed. The computer is in our network so it must in our domain too...
The problem was that I was in the X domain, so it automatically tryed to log me in using X\username
. Of course such username doesn't exist, because the actual user I needed to use is Y\username
, because the department who created the user was in the Y domain so they didn't noticed this and worked for them.
Things learned: always tell which domain the user is in, if you are given domain credentials.
(hope this helps out someone, who stumple upon this.)
1Restarting the Server service in Windows 7 was enough to fix my problem. – None – 2011-05-01T17:08:01.220
Have you checked windows 7 shares and confirmed they are allowing access to your username or usergroup? – A Dwarf – 2009-09-27T01:57:34.313
yes. same users is logged onto both machines. not even net view works. – nysingh – 2009-09-27T03:22:41.040
1Stopping and restarting the sever service on the Win 7 x64 box allowed the XP machine to connect to the share hosted by the Win 7 x64 box. This was definitely less traumatic than any other fix. This problem seems to come and go, supporting the thesis that there is some kind bug that can be eliminated temporarily, but always comes back eventually. – None – 2013-07-24T13:29:50.447
