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.

 

Able to ping network path but not able to map network drive on Windows 10

Pinging a network drive is one thing and mapping it is another. Pinging uses TCP/IP protocol, while Mapping requires TCP protocol and NFS Protocols.

• Verify if NFS protocols are enabled on your network drive (by default it is already enabled in Windows 10).
  
• What network drive are you using (NAS, external hard drive, etc)

 

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
