    Work Mapped drives not working at home.


    Hello All.

    I have a user at work that has a laptop as her main work use (docking station at work, then takes it home to work at home).
    we have a list of mapped network drives that we use here, including a personal drive.

    however when this user gets home or off the network, the personal drive seems to become inactive/go missing.

    there are no USB drives that interfere with the network drives, and i am lost looking for solutions.

    any suggestions/help would be greatly appreciated.

    thanks.

    Trouble Mapping Network Drive

    I have a WD NAS drive connected to my router and have mapped it on three of my computers. I just setup another laptop with Windows 10 and have updated it to 1809 and when I tired Mapping a network drive nothing is displayed in the browse window except the
    computer I am currently using. The drive is shown under network locations in File Explorer but not when you select map network drive and browse. I right clicked on the drive and selected properties and noted the IP address and went back into Map network drive
    but instead of selecting browse I entered the IP address but it still does not map the drive. The strange part is if I go to any of the computers that already has the network drive mapped and select Map network drive and select browse none of those computers
    show the drive either but you can select the mapped drive in the drive list in file explorer and it works just fine.

    I have read several articles both here and elsewhere and tried the suggestions but nothing works. Network discovery is turned on as is file sharing and also checked if all three boxes under SMB file sharing support in Windows features were also checked and
    they are. I have mapped several computers to several different drives over the years and anytime the drive was not listed it was always easy to go into Network Sharing Centre and find the problem but everything seems to be as it should so would appreciate
    if someone can suggest something I may have overlooked.

    Thank you

    KB3116908 fixed my network drive mapping problem


    I did see some references to mapped network drives earlier in this thread, but didn't see (or missed) anything specific. I would like to report that KB3116908 seems to have fixed a problem I've had since the installation of W10. My several mapped drives were pretty regularly being dropped after wake-up from sleep or on reboot. When I would re-map the drives the previous mapping would appear in the list of available drive letters, so it was a rather simple exercise to reassign them to the drive letters had been previously used (necessary for many applications that access these drives). But manually re-mapping was time consuming and annoying, so I left many unmapped until they were needed. After installing and rebooting this morning, all six or so drives were mapped, like magic!

    So score a real fix for this update, and hopefully this is fixed for good.

    On another subject, I just got notice that this update was ready to install yesterday. Why is it that I am getting these updates just about a month on average after they are initially released? Is it that MS just has too many W10 installations to send this down to? Or what?
