The network location cannot be reached
I have a laptop were I can't get access to a share on the network.
I get a mesage "The network location cannot be reached"
A registry setting keep missing its data, even when I replace it. And everytime I boot it is gone.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\
TransportBindName = \Device\

I tried your solution, but that didn't work. I had the same problem on many forums and what that did the fix it was this. I only got to number 2. But I will try your solution if I get the same problem again. It seems that there is more solutions on the same problem.
1. (NB This will not work on windows 2000) Click start > run >type sfc /scannow {enter} and have your windows CD handy.
2. Search your hard drive for the "ie.inf" file (Usually in windows\inf\ or winnt\inf) When you have found it right click it and select install. Then reboot. [Running this from command line does the same "rundll32.exe setupapi,InstallHinfSectio
3. Still not working? Click Start > settings >control Panel >Add/Remove Programs > internet explorer. Press the Change/Remove button (In windows 9X the button is Add/Remove). If you've upgraded IE you can revert to the previous version by selecting "Restore the previous Windows Configuration" but more often you will need "Repair Internet Explorer", then click OK. Reboot.
4. Still not working? Click Start >Run >type regedit {enter} Navigate to the following key, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Active Setup \ Installed Components \ {89820200-ECBD-11cf-8B85-0
You can now download and reinstall Internet Explorer (Links below).
NB. If you want to reinstall Outlook Express at the same time perform the same action on this registry key. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Active Setup \ Installed Components \ {44BBA840-CC51-11CF-AAFA-0

SysExpert, a big thanks to you! I was getting the above mentioned "The network location cannot be reached" error when attempting to \\ into my NAS samba share, but only from one particular XP install. After your 1), it's working like a charm.
Just wanted to drop a note saying thanks. :)
