WS2008R2 - Hyper-V VM "No network provider accepted the given network path"

When trying to connect to a networked shared drive from one VM to another I am getting this error message: "No network provider accepted the given network path".

I have no idea where to start looking when trying to resolve this problem... any insights appreciated...

see screenshot...

forgot to mention: Hyper-V is installed on a blade server (blade02) running WS2008R2 (with shared D: drive) and the VM where I have the problems (screenshot) is running WS2003

do you have a domain controller on the LAN which is reachable, it would seem the network credentials, username and password for the resource cannot be verified.
just verified, the domain controller is reachable and the login/password combination is correct...
does the server have admin shares, networking and sharing enabled?
@hanccocka:

Finally got this back from the network guys... makes sense to me... any thoughts or does this need a repost somewhere else on this site?

The problem exist on an IBM Blade server running W2008R2 with Hyper-V. One of the VM's has W2003 installed and that's where we're having the problem.

If you look at the basic machine (blade02) you see the terabyte drive as new volume.  This is not a network share.  The 2008 servers seem to be able to see it, but the 2003 server does not.  I know that the technology used for the drive is a clustering technology.  I am researching if the technology used for the shared terabyte drive will work with 2003.  I do remember that when we purchased the blade server, it came with 2008r2, and I believe we were told that 2008 was the only choice for the machine.
