Mapping a network drive hosted on AWS EC2 Windows Server Instance

Hi,

I have hosted a AWS EC2 Windows Server instance which is working well with all the necessary ports enabled in the firewall for TCP and UDP for allowing RDP as well as File Sharing.

I am able to connect via Remote Desktop to the server from any place I carry my Windows 11 laptop to.

But, the drive I have mapped to this Windows Server instance, only works from selected locations. It works from my office but not from my home. When I try to map the drive again, I get the following error-





I clicked on DIAGNOSE -





Kindly help,

Thanks and regards,

How to change the screen refresh rate on a Windows Server 2016 AWS EC2 instance with a Nvidia GPU

I have an Amazon Web Services EC2 instance (type g2.2xlarge with
Nvidia GRID K520 GPU) with Windows Server 2016, and
I need to change the screen refresh rate from 32Hz to 60Hz to be able to play computer games. The DxDiag file shows Current Mode: 2560 x 1600 (32 bit) (32Hz), which prevents the game from launching; it requires at least 60Hz according to the
game developer. I am connecting to the instance from a MacBook Pro 13" with Retina display using
Microsoft Remote Desktop 10 which allows me to change the resolution and color depth, but not the refresh rate. When trying to access the settings from the Control Panel, it shows a message "The display settings
can't be changed from a remote session." The GPU drivers have been installed, and I disabled the standard Windows driver, but I am not able to access the Nvidia Control Panel.
