Windows 10: Drive not showing up when trying to map a network drive (Laptop)

Someone please help me.
I am trying to set up our server which we have on my sisters new laptop. when I go to 'map network drive' and click 'browse' the server called 'BGE-B-NAS' doesn't appear on the list. I have tried multiple times and nothing seems to be working. I also tried to type it in manually but it just said that 'windows cannot access \\BGE-B-NAS\Companydata'. Is it to do with the fact that this is a laptop and it is using the wifi instead of being wired?

Any help would be very helpful and thank you in advance for the help.

Windows 10: Mapped network drives not showing up until sign out/restart?

In maybe the same tin...

Stumbled into a problem:

Scenario:

• Mapped a network computer drive to be E:\ on a laptop
• Worked with no obvious problems - plug in a USB stick and it would take the next drive letter up
• Then networked computer serving the mapped drive was not available - showed as not available on the laptop.. OK

Problem:

• Plug a USB drive into the laptop - fails to show in Explorer. It appeared as a device; but not as a file system - guess Windows was trying to assign it to be drive E:\ - but that was held by the Map
• The Map drive letter could not be released - Un-Map or Delete refused to clear it
• Only solution was to put the network server back online and then clear the Map on the laptop.

I was sure I had never had this problem before... but... all of my Windows 8.1 computers are now Windows 10 (10240 and 10525). I cannot test on Win 8.1. I still have a Windows XP computer - tested it... no such problems - dead network drive maps are easily
deleted.

 

Connecting New Windows 10 Laptop to Windows 7 Running on a Mac via VMware Fusion

I have a new laptop with Windows 10 that I am trying to a Mac running Windows 7 via VMware Fusion. A mapped network drive had previously been established between the old laptop and the Mac. When I booted up the Windows 10 is recognized the other computers
and printers on the network. It even recognizes the mapped drive, but I receive an error message when I try to connect to the mapped drive:

Windows cannot access . . . You do not have permission.

The Mac does recognize the new laptop.

Do I need to have the new laptop join the HomeGroup to have access to the mapped drive? We do not currently share any information via Libraries.

Thank you.

 

sorry for anybodies bother but it worked in the end
