    Network drive mappings


    I have a vintage NAS: Blackarmor 220. I have to use drive mappings to access files on the drive because Microsoft decided I couldn't use what used to work. Periodically, a new version of Windows 11 is installed and all of my drive mappings to my NAS stop working. Often, I can fix the problem by disconnecting the drive mappings and creating new ones using either the NetBIOS name for the device or its IP address. I can never tell in advance which will work. Tonight, I have disconnected drive mappings to three of the shares on my NAS and have attempted to create new mappings, both before and afte

    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

    Mapped Drives Issues

    To clarify .... the issue is the Windows 10 OS. It is with Windows File Explorer. The Mapped drives used to appear in File Explorer's left panel list of drives and folders. Two days ago File explorer stopped show the mapped drives. so not they don;t appear in the list of Drives and folders.

    - - - Updated - - -

    I did, it has no effect. I also check the NAS devices they support SMB 2.0. Also I have several other computers on my home network they work fine with the mapped drives and They do not have SMB 1 turned on. So it is something that happened to the computer in question.

    Connecting NAS - mapping of drives

    Ok,

    If you want, we can do a step by step troubleshooting of your current situation:

    If you are able to ping your Machine and it responds.
    Code:
    Try to view if your NAS appears on the Network List:
    Code:
    If Your NAS appears on the list, try to view it:
    Code:
    The available shares will be listed there.

    Then Try to List the content of one of the directories:
    Code:
    This should list the content of the directory,

    If all this works Try to map a drive on one share:
    Code:
    Pls reply with the "response" of the first "encounter" of a non positive output.

    This exercise should reveal if you have a Network or Protocol or Cipher or Authentication problem.
