network drives

Hello All, I have a fairly simple setup. 4 PCs, one acts as a defacto file server, running Win 11. The rest are mixes of Win 10 and 11. On one machine (call it newpc also running win11) trying to map to a specific drive on the file server, I get the error "you do not have permission to...

I have a NAS drive (a Zyxel NSA310) on my network which I am trying to use for backup. Whenever I try to access this drive from a Windows computer connected to the same LAN (e.g. to create a new folder on the NAS) it says "you need authorisation to do that". How do I get authorisation? The Zyxel...

I create several network drives. I forget for some network drives the account I used to map the network drive. How can I get the account that I used to map a network drive? Where is the account of a network drive stored. In the registry?

I have searched the internet to try and find a way to fix this issue and have tried every registry hack I've come across but have not been able to fix this. From all the reading I've done it seems that this has been an issue in some way or form since windows 95! Here is a run down with how it...

I am running windows 7 sp1 on a laptop. I have 9 network drives mapped. After I close the laptop lid (hibernate) and re open the lid, all the network drives have red x's. I can click on each drive and they come back. Is there any way to stop this from happening?

I know this should probably go in the networking subforum but it's kinda deserted and I need an answer fast. I have a 2012 R2 server (alone) and a Win 7 station. My login script is very simple, it's only a few net use commands (net use :G /delete - net use :G \\Server\Folder). But right now...

I have a computer that I'm punishing, so I installed Windows H8 on it. I did the H8.1 (for lack of a better word) update. I want to be able to move files and folders to and from the D drive. With XP it's incredibly easy, I just go to the drive I want to share and click share. Done. With Windows...

I am running Windows 7 64 bit. I have 4 network external drives attached to my router via 2 Cisco NSLU2 servers. The drives connect when I boot the PC but after a while (it seems random) the drives just disconnect. I can click on my computer and bring the drives back one at a time. This is...

Hi folks this is an annoying puzzle for me. I have 64bit windows home premium and the firewall blocks local network discovery and options to enable file sharing and media streaming. I am using a home network, when i go to allow a program through there is no option for file and printer service...

I've done a search and found plenty of posts where a harddrive is no longer shown under My Computer. My problem is that it is all of my hard drives won't show in My Computer. So this tells me it's probably not all of the power/sata cables all at once. When I restart my PC they reappear...

We have this recurring issue where some mapped network drives disappear from 'my computer'. They usually appear after 1 or 2 reboots, but having to go through this each time is a bit annoying. Right now all our client computers are running windows 7 pro on a 2008 domain server. We've been...
