Windows 10: Trying to map a network drive that has a password and username which I do not know

I have recently been trying to setup a second hand device that runs using windows XP and is used to collect seismic data, the device stores it in a folder titled Data and has an IP of 100.100.100.30. The device connects via ethernet to a tablet which runs off windows 7 which is then used to disseminate the data. I am using the 'map network drive' to get access to the Data folder in the seismic device however as it has already been previously setup each time I try to map to it I am asked to enter my network credentials. I have tried removing the credentials associated with accessing this folder

Mapping network drive

Hi,

Thanks for sharing your concern regarding this network drive issue on your Windows 10. We're more than happy to help.

In Windows 10, instead of entering just the username, enter the computer name plus the username in this format:

computername\username

In case you want to know how to get your computer name, I've included the steps below:

• Type CMD on the search bar and launch
• On the command prompt, type hostname and press enter.

Once you're done with the username, type in the same password and you should be good to go.

Let us know how it goes or if you need further assistance.

 

School's mapped network

ive been trying to connect to my school's network remotely from home. My classmate's don't seem to be having an issue.

first step is to use Pulse Secure to connect to my shcool's VPN and this is successfuly
using windows "Mapped Networks and Drives" i assign a drive letter and type \\files.al-lab.csus.edu\Groups as instructed. and then i check “Connect using different credentials” like also instructed.

the instructions stress that you must type .\ before your username (i have tried with and without)

but i always get incorrect password

i have also tried the USE NET command with the same results

the username and password is, in fact, correct because it is the same credentials i use to connect with Pulse Secure and the web-based/in browser version of the network

ive also tried refreshing DNS and resetting winsock

 

Network username and password for shared folder/drive

Hi,

My OPPO Blu-ray player is connected to the same network as my computer. The player picks up the computer drives and displays the relevant folders (Photo, Music and Video). But when I try to open any of the folders on my player, it prompts me for the
username and password. I have tried the following combinations, but they all don't work.

1. My login details that I use to log into my computer (my account username and password)....I have administration rights.......didn't work.
2. I tried using the computer name and my account password........didn't work.

I will be grateful for assistance.
