    Mapped network drive, Windows keeps asking for password


    I've got an Unraid server and one of it's SMB shares is mapped as a drive on my Windows PC. What has been annoying me for quite some time is the fact that Windows keeps asking for the password after every reboot. I've removed and re-mapped the share, I've cleared the appropriate entry in the Windows credential manager... nothing helps. What's even stranger is the fact that Windows does not ask for a password when I browse the server through the "Network" entry in Windows Explorer. It only asks for the password to connect to the mapped drive.

    Seriously I'm out of ideas (besides reinstalling Windows of course). Any help would definitely be appreciated.

    :)

    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

    Mapping network drive

    i'm trying to map a network drive on my new laptop with windows 10, and keep getting the error "the specified network password is not correct" . I know that the password is correct because I use putty
    to ssh into the same server, and I have no problem. Any suggestions? I'm not extremely savvy. I thought maybe it has to do with domain names, but I'm not sure how to even find out what the appropriate domain name would be.

    Mapping a network drive

    I am trying to map a network drive from one Windows 10 PC to a shared USB drive on another Windows 10 PC. I have two USB drives in this PC. One I can share successfully. When I try to map to the other one it keeps asking for Windows credentials. I
    have password protected sharing turned off. Both drives are shared with the same permissions.
