No network provider accepted the given network path.
I was getting the following error connecting to somlh17 and somlh35 shares. "No network provider accepted the given network path." I could connect to the internet and sommail, and I can ping somlh17 and somlh35. Shutting down and rebooting fixed this issue previously but was not able to this time. The following fix from MS worked for me.
While
you are using a computer that has one of the operating systems that are
listed in the "Applies To" section installed, you may experience either
of the following symptoms.
- When you try to connect to a network share, you may receive the following error message:
No network provider accepted the given network path.
- You may also receive the following error message:
Workstation service terminated with service-specific error 2250
RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, follow these steps:
1. Restart your computer in Safe mode.
2. Use System File Checker with the /scannow parameter
to immediately scan and verify the versions of all the system files
that Windows File Protection helps protect. You must be logged on as an
administrator or as a member of the Administrators group to run System
File Checker. You can run the sfc /scannow command to use System File Checker.
3. If
you get information about the corrupted Mup.sys file, expand the
Mup.sys file from the Windows XP CD to the C:\Windows\System32\Drivers
folder. For example, if the CD drive is D, type the following at a
command prompt:
expand d:\i386\mup.sy_ c:\windows\system32\drivers
4. Expand
the Mup.sys file from the Windows XP CD to the
C:\Windows\System32\Dllcache folder. For example, if the CD drive is D,
type the following at a command prompt:
expand d:\i386\mup.sy_ c:\windows\system32\dllcache
Note You can also use Expand File in the System Configuration Utility (MSCONFIG).

This fix didn't work this time around. running out of time I reinstalled the NIC drivers from Dell and updated the BIOS from A10 to A15 I think. Reboot after that brought this back.
