Connecting to a NAS on windows 7

Hello

I'm having problems connecting to my NAS on my windows 7 PC. Under the network tab on the side of the left hand on the page of MY computer, I can see my NAS and PC but can not connect to any of them! As soon as I click on the NAS, I get the ' \\NAS is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out error of your access permissions! I can't map or do something I get this error whenever I double click on it! How can I fix it? Please, any help would be fantastic as its driving me crazy!
Here is my card
OS Windows 7 Home premium (connected to the router via wifi)
Noontec n5 NAS (connected to the router via a cable cat6)
Network discovery is on
File sharing and printer is on
AM not connected to a home as only group have a PC

Paul:

Have you tried to use the option 'connect under a different name' when you have mapped the drive?

If this isn't the case, that give a try.  Otherwise, I'm not familiar enough with your NAS model to offer

more specific suggestions.

  • Unable to connect to the NAS network via a wired connection?

    Hi all

    I have 2 network NAS. They are both a Bay D-Link ShareCenter 2. One is full of media I use for streaming and the other is used to keep backups of my computers and some software. Both of the NAS are configured in RAID mirror. They both worked fine when I got them almost a year ago, they are mapped to letters pilot Y and Z. 2 days when I logged my office a popup notification came to say.
    "cannot reconnect to all network drives, click here to check the status of your network drives."
    so I checked it status and he said they were offline. I restarted my computer and both the NAS, but it made no difference. Then I tried to disconnect the drives, but when I try to reconnect to them I get this error;
    "Windows cannot access \\192.168.0.32\Volume_1\Joe, check the spelling of the name. Otherwise, there could be a problem with your network. In an attempt to identify and solve network problems, click on diagnose. »
    When I click to diagnose it is unable to find a default.
    The next thing I did was disable my Ethernet card and connect to my network with my WiFi adapter. Then I tried to re - map the NAS is connected via the wireless. This time he allowed me to map them and they seem to work as usual via the wireless connection, but it is rather slow on the wireless.
    Then I disconnected my WiFi connection and reactivated my Ethernet card. When I tried to open the NAS I get this error message;

    "An error occurred while reconnecting Z: to \\192.168.0.32\Volume_1\Joe, Microsoft Windows network: the local device name is already in use." This connection has not been restored. »

    A friend told me that this error was because the drive letter is used by a USB storage device or remembered from a previous session, and to remedy, I should run these 2 commands CMD;
    NET use * / Delete Yes
    NET use / persistent: no
    After you run the two orders, nothing has been changed still the same problem. I also I have no USB storage device so it may be that.
    The next thing I tried was to ping both the NAS, I did this on Ethernet and WiFi connections, and both times I return a normal response both to the NAS.
    I defrosted then to restore an image from my Office I made around a week ago and I know that I don't have this problem at the time. The image I did was with Acronis. When I started on the CD of Acronis support, I discovered that Acronis software could connect both the NAS on my desktop Ethernet. After restoring I still have the same problem.
    Now, there's 1 thing I noticed, my laptop can still connect to both WiFi and Ethernet NAS with all the problems. I also have an android phone, and who can connect both of the NAS via a WiFi connection.
    1 last thing you to know is I can always get to the configuration of the NAS so pages I visit it local address in a web browser. I also ran a factory reset both the NAS and then re-applied my own settings. This does not solve the problem, and more that turning March my routers.
    Please can someone help me solve this problem. I'm running a Windows 8 Pro 64 Bit operating system. If you need more information on my system spec or how I have my setup of home network please let me know.
    Thank you Joe.

    This problem has now been fixed.

    For some reason any my AVG firewall had defrosted on its own to block access to the features as well as to define its self to disable the file and printer sharing of files on the NAS share.
    So a small trick to my firewall and everything works as it should.
    Thank you Joe.
  • Try to set up a direct parallel connection between two computers in Windows XP Home edition

    I tried to set up a direct parallel connection between two computers in Windows XP. I have the right cable (CAT 5 Ethernet connection) and you can set up the connection on my own laptop, but when I go through the installer on another laptop it create new connection-establishment of advanced connection--> when the next window opens asking me to choose between "accept incoming connections" and "connect directly to another computer" (which I need to select) for the second option is grayed out and not can not be selected.

    The same thing happens when I try to implement the same connection between my laptop and the desktop we have. All of these computers are running on Windows XP service pack 2. I really need help with this because I'm about to start pulling my hair.

    Any help would be very, very, much appreciated.

  • I can't connect to my WiFi using windows xp sp3 on bootcamp for Mac OSX Snow Leopard 10.6.8

    I can't connect to my WiFi using windows xp SP3 on bootcamp for Mac OSX Snow Leopard 10.6.8

    On the side of my computer's mac, the internet works fine.
    I just want the computer to recognize my home network, but it's as if we want a modem connection.
    Ask what you need to know the specs.
    I do this to play Halo on my Mac.

    This is the problem (which I corrected).  It's simple, all you have to do is to switch to XP, insert your mac installation disc and follow installation bootcamp, with all the drivers for mac compatibility.  The wireless just popped up as active.

    I lost my, but this isn't a problem: just go to the apple Web site, use the express track, diagnose your problem and have a representative call you.  They answer in a few seconds.  Replacement CD is very cheap ($16-2011).  You can get the CD of requests for replacement, which is another $ 16, but it is not important; XP does not use it, only the operating system for the drivers.  Mine came very quickly, in just 2 days.

    Hope that answers questions from the Internet.

  • MS Money 2007 on Win XP doesn't let me connect online telling me that Windows Live cannot check my login information.

    MS Money 2007 on Win XP doesn't let me connect online telling me that Windows Live cannot check my login information.  It happened all of a sudden in the last days.  I have yet to receive a response to this problem that works.  Everybody doesn't know how to fix this?

    The same question in the Windows 7 forum - and it worked

    1. Start Money
    2. In the connect to open your Money file page, type your Windows Live ID credentials, select thework offline check box and then clickNext

      Note If you have recently changed your Windows Live ID password until you have used the money, make sure you use the last password that worked with money. Based on your version of Money, your experience may be different. Basically, start, get the error of not being able to connect and continue so that you get cash itself

    3. On the file menu, click Password Manager (for Money 2002, clickconnection security box ), and then clickRemove .

      Note If you are prompted to disable MSN Money Web access, follow these steps, and then repeat step 3.

    4. Click disable this Passport for use in money , and then clickNext. Again once, different versions of money show different dialog boxes - the key is that you want to delete automatically connect with your live account.
    5. Click Finish , and then wait for the process of change in the credentials to fill.
    6. Click OK .
    7. Output of money.

    Once you disable the passport for use in Money and restart, you can resume your access to all of your financial institutions.  You will not however be able to be synchronized with MSN Money, which is the purpose of doing in the first place. I found that you can always update your accounts as you have always done and during the stock market always automatically up-to-date.

  • I can't connect to wireless internet with windows vista

    I bought a new HP Pavilion dv6 laptop with Windows Vista and I tried to connect to the internet from my laptop via router ADSL2 + wireless D-link but my network is not visible wireless.

    I tried to plug my ether cable and this time my network was visible, but it would not connect.

    I am able to connect from another laptop with windows XP wireless through the same router.

    My HP laptop connects via WiFi in other places, but not at home via D-link router.

    I am not able to connect to internet from my laptop HP since I bought it 9 months ago.


    What can possibly be the reason? Can you help me connect to the internet?

    Thank you

    It seems that your settings are not correct for the access provider or router (or both).  I suggest that you contact your ISP and have them walk you step by step in the process of installation and configuration and do not let them off the coast of the Nigerian line you have a good connection, as you wish.  They know that the parameters so that we don't have, so they can help you better than we can, and I'm sure they will be happy to do.

  • WRT54G v.5 will remain not connected to the new laptop / Windows 7 Premium

    WRT54G v.5 will remain not connected to the new laptop / Windows 7 Premium. It works continuously with a cycle detection, connection, loss of connection; detection, connection, loss of connection, etc... The router works through this cycle, basically acting as if I disconnected and then reconnected to the power to reset, it disrupts my Internet connection to my Wired iMac and wireless, another office to the floor. Paid for Linksys support today and through remote access, he put up a new network on my desktop (iMac). After finishing, the problem still exists. When I told him that the problem had not been corrected, he said just wait an hour or two and it should work itself. She, of course, did not himself. Any ideas out there?

    Nevermind - I seem to have solved the problem with a simple firmware. Funny how the Linksys technician support don't think to ask what version of the router I have or suggest that I should try to upgrade firmware first. However, he is quite good at trying to upsell me for a new router instead of trying to help me solve the problem I had. It makes me want to go buy Netgear next time, thanks a lot!
