That's what I'm seeing also .

So to ask, did you just now start looking at the event viewer?

I checked it after @scotth said something about it.
and have been looking through it .

Okay, so that's fine, now it's time to schedule a site visit since you now have proof that reloading this box is the recommended approach.

Which means a site visit. Stop milking the customer for remote hours.

I understand that the fix would be reloading the device, I told my boss that my suggestion.

Hopefully that's the fix, and not some crazy network level issue.

I hate Windows sharing, it's very hard to track down root causes.

Especially, when it is peer-to-peer.

They don't, they do inclusive support. They are just losing money trying to track this down.

Yup,.. In the world of Break Fix... finite amount of time per device before you TandL (toast and load)..

It's where I am on our Primary and Secondary system. It's dropping to the Secondary several times a day.. which, while it is designed to do,.. it's not suppose to do it for 'no reason'.. Suspect the Vendor borked the install / setup from the get go. Of course they don't want to acknowledge it's possible.....

sometimes i'ts not bad.... but yea. It's a PITA. I still can't get to the NAS from this PC, but every other PC in the house I can. (mutters under breath)

does an IP scanner (advanced IP scanner, angry IP scanner etc) find the .100 IP from one of the client boxes and see shares?
does the MAC for the above scan match what's on the server (ie. do you have a duplicate IP on the network)
is this something that was working and stopped or a new share that you can't get off the ground?

It shows that it's seeing the server:

Something that was working before yesterday, stopped working yesterday.

Have you run the usual checks like sfc /scannow repeating until it comes up clear, DISM (I forget the switches) and chkdsk /r also until it comes up clear?

It is Windows after all.

Yeah, at this point - doing all that is OK - but really, it should be dump and reload time.

another thing to toss on the pile because we all know he won't be allowed to reload it yet... rebuild the network stack.

Have since tried to uninstall the nic and make registry changes (there were a lot that were out of wack apparently) but with no luck still.

edit Upon this and changing registry keys I was able to get it to communicate and work properly.

192.168.128.100 is not a SMB or CIFS path. . . so of course it would error. You don't share out an IP address, but resources hosted at that address, IE C$.

I mapped the Bootdrv of the server on the terminals.
I did it I fixed it.
it was a registry setting.
Im not fucking with it anymore.
its working.

Is your boss? They're the person who's making you do things the difficult and costly way.

@scottalanmiller seemed confused in the ML wrap up video SO I thought I'd elaborate on what resolved my issue.... well Kind of. ... All I know is one of these fixed it - .

HKLM\system\current control set\services\CSC\ start = 0
HKLM\System\Current Control Set\Services\NetBT\Parameters\UseNewSMB set to 0
Uninstalling reinstalling NIC

Solved folder sharing issue
