Cannot access network location from some softwares


I have this strange problem : I work with windows 7 and I have some network location disks. One of them is K:

From sqldeveloper, I cannot see those disks and now connecting to mysql with command line and trying to reach some files on those disks using "source" : there is an error saying that the file is not found as it searches on C: and not on K:, like it does not see it.

Do you have any idea what is going on ?

Note : I am on a virtual machine. (it used to work good when I was not on the VM but on the computer itself)


Solution

  • Found the solution, thanks to this article :

    So the solution is just to add a key in the regedit : EnableLinkedConnections with value 1
