"System Error 53: Network path was not found" when accessing share

Asked by airplays in Active Directory, Miscellaneous Networking, Peer to Peer

Tags: System Error 53: Network path was not found

I have a personal laptop, and a company laptop which has a shared directory.

From my personal laptop, I cannot access the shared directory on the company network when both computers are peers on the company network.

I get:  System error 53 has occurred. The network path was not found.

However from my personal laptop, I can ping my company laptop AND telnet to it on port 139.

Now here's the thing: I can access the shared directory from my personal laptop if I connect my company laptop to a 2nd internet connection (using ICS) on my personal laptop.

So this DOES works:     companyNetwork ------- personal laptop (ICS) --------- company laptop

And this does NOT work:  companyNetwork-------personal laptop
                                    |_______company laptop

My question is: Does having the company laptop connect directly to the company network (rather than behind a NAT firewall) trigger some kind of group policy that prevents access from computer that isn't part of the same domain?  

And if so, how can I access the share from my personal laptop without joining the company domain?  

If not, what could be the problem here?
