Net Use and System error 53

Published on 2008-10-15 in Windows. 2 Comments

I keep getting bit by this stupid problem, so I’ve decided to finally document the fix:

c:\> net use x: \\192.168.1.1\share\
System error 53 has occurred.
 
The network path was not found.

The problem is the trailing slash at the end of the UNC path.

c:\> net use x: \\192.168.1.1\share
The command completed successfully.

    Found this website through google, but unfortunately this didn’t help me at all.

    C:\WINDOWS>net use r: \\10.0.144.99\c$ /USER:WORK\USER
