“The specified network name is no longer available”


Are you sure you have the right IP address for the remote device with the shared resource? In my experience if you haven't changed the default address, it's 192.168.0.1 for most routers (but sometimes 192.168.1.1). Get yourself an IP scanning utility and confirm that the address is correct, or run ipconfig and use the address for the "default gateway" as shown here:



The address I gave you was just an example (it's actually the address from my wife's PC on my LAN, to which I navigated to make sure the syntax was correct and acceptable to Windows 10).

Hi Satish,

It could be an outdated driver or misconfigured settings why this issue occurs. Let's troubleshoot your issue by running the Network Troubleshooter. This troubleshooter can help us to identify the cause of the issue and fix it at the same time.

“The specified network name is no longer available”

For a Windows 10 PC to be able to see a UNC resource of the form \\<device name>\<share name> then both devices should be in the same Workgroup and Network Discovery should be turned on. It may well be that when you reinstalled Windows 10 it was set to a default Workgroup name different from that of your router.

My router came pre-configured with a Workgroup of HOME. There are no user settings to change this, so all PC on my network (W10, W7, XP and on rare occasions W95) have to be set to be in the HOME Workgroup. They can all see each other's shares and a USB HDD shared by plugging it into the USB port on my router.

To check/change the Workgroup of a W10 system, go to Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\System and click 'Advanced system settings' (or just type Workgroup in the Search box). Look on the 'Computer name' tab.

For Network Discovery settings, go to Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Network and Sharing Centre\Advanced sharing settings
