Error code:0x80004005 Unspecified error
I can ping the machine and also using my web browser I can see a web page from a server on that same machine.

WHAT I HAVE TRIED
1. CREDENTIAL MANAGER - No Entries
There is no entry for the 192.168.22.10 box.
There are entries for other file servers.
2. Turn OFF Windows defender firewall - fail
3. Connect by Wired ethernet - Fail
I get a different error
"Windows can't find '\\192.168.22.10'. Check the spelling and try again."
Ah but then found the wired ethernet was set as a public network. Setting it to private resulted in getting the old "windows can not access..." error
AND THE SOLUTION
Start>Control Panel>Programs and Features
Click "Turn Windows features on or off" (Left hand side)
Scroll down to SMB 1.0/CIFS File Sharing Support
Click the SMB 1.0/CIFS Client
Un tick SMB 1.0/CIFS Automatic Removal and
Un Tick SMB 1.0/CIFS Server
Note SMB 1.0 is apparently a very insecure protocol and should not be used.
Off to ask the network guy to upgrade the server
