What does Windows error code 1222 (ERROR_NO_NETWORK) mean?

ERROR_NO_NETWORK

WNet APIs use ERROR_NO_NETWORK for provider/network unavailability. For example, WNetGetResourceInformation can return it when the network is unavailable, and WNetGetProviderName documents it when the network is unavailable. This is broader than a single remote host being down.

Test the provider layer and multiple resources. If every WNet resource operation fails while local TCP/IP still works, inspect the Workstation/network-provider components rather than blaming one server. Conversely, failure of one host with other network resources working is closer to host/path/connection diagnosis.

Scope the outage

  • Try a known-good network resource through the same provider.
  • Check provider and redirector service state.
  • Compare direct socket connectivity with WNet/UNC resource operations.
  • Preserve any provider-specific extended error before restarting networking services.
