Hi,
This error means that the Network path was not found. Was Windows XP locating in the same network as the secondary IP on Windows 8/7?
Please try the solution below. Use the IP address of the target computer, not the computer name.
1) Find out what the target computer's IP address is. It is desirable to give the target computer a static private IP address, for example, 192.168.1.10, so it does not change. Use the local windows help when sitting in front of the target computer to do this if you don't know how.
2) When sitting in front of the Windows 7 computer you want to access the target computer from, open Windows Explorer and in the address bar type \\ followed by the target computer's static address, for example,\\192.168.1.10 and hit enter.
If the target computer uses username/password sharing, after a few seconds you will be prompted for credentials. Enter the same username and password employed to log on to the target computer when you are sitting in front of it.
The target computer will be added to the Windows 7 computer's Network list, appearing as an IP address instead of a computer name. Then you can access its shares just as if it were listed by name instead of by number.
Hi Kate Li,
Greetings for the Day.....!!!
Thank you for your reply, Now I can access using the IP address, But there is problem that all client machine user are not aware of the IP addresses of all machine they want to access the sharing and from windows Xp machines I can Aceess these windows7/8 machines... The Main issue is after giving the Secondary IP windows7/8/8.1 automatically changed its network to private network from doamain network..
Thanks and Regards
