Windows 7 Home Premium cannot map NAS / network storage drives

Hi, I'm currently on a PC Windows 7 Home Premium and I have two 2 NAS drives.

I am running a Buffalo Linkstation (old version) and a new Iomega Home Media Network Hard drive.

Initially I thought it was just my Linkstation from Buffalo who is older and has had no updates of the firmware that cannot be mapped as a network drive. But I just got my new Iomega hard drive today and installed the latest firmware and software. The Iomega software detects the drive and all of its shared folders but the problem is that I can not map any shared folders as a network drive, making it useless on my Windows 7 computer.

I can access both NAS drives on my windows xp pro machine very well.

I got off the phone with Iomega technical support and they said that it is a well known problem with Windows 7 Home Premium and readers of Samba. Is there someone out there who can give me a solution? I already tried the fix LMCOMPATIBILITYLEVEL on other forums I found by changing the values 1 or 2 - but still no luck.

It gives me an error of network even when I try to connect to the ip address of the NAS, however - it appears on my network but I can not access or map!

I really want to get my readers network running on windows 7 Home Edition premium without having to upgrade to other users are still having problems, I read. It's a little pathetic I can't even map a network drive on my pc.

I had exactly the same problem with my drive hard Lacie network. If your drive contained donkey type of media, music, or video, Win 7 use the reader as a "Windows Media Connect" device, opening the disk in Media Player, showing only media files...

This prevents access to all ot0her of the player records.

However, I found that it is possible to add the drive as a network drive, if you know the name of the root folder.

In my case, it's "openshare", so when you enter the path to network drive, I use \\192.168.xxx.xxx\openshare, and it allows me to access the drive...

Why Microsoft chose to make this type of access to the files of so difficult to get simple network, just blows my mind, knowing that WinXP has it done easily...

I hope you were able to understand my English, and that this could be useful.

Kind regards

  • Windows 7 Home Premium cannot be updated (error 80070490)

    Hello

    I have a x 64 bit desktop with Windows 7 Home Premium installed.

    I had a moment to try to solve my problem with Windows Update is not be able to install or to look for new updates for months (ask the error code 80070490) and trying to fix it, have caused more problems that I can't fix.

    I have troubleshooted countless times, including the use of update Windows Diagnostic tool (that does not correct the problem of update). I also tried to reinstall Windows 7 Home Premium from the disc, I bought, only to be greeted with an error message containing: "your current version of Windows is more recent than the version that you are trying to level to.» Windows is unable to complete the upgrade. »

    So, I took a dagger blow to scouring the many issues on the Microsoft Answers community that are similar or identical to the problem I have. Some answers have led me to running the sfc/scannow command and also a command "findstr" who has given me a list of files that sfc/scannow could not fix. Some have been classified as "cannot repair" and some more serious labeled "can not reproject corrupted file. My next solution was that I should try to reinstall it from my Windows 7 disc, but try to solve the "current version" problem that prevented me to reinstall earlier. An answer I found in the Community said that SP1 needs to be uninstalled for the resettlement of work, so I uninstalled SP1 and rebooted my computer. I tried to reinstall from my drive again and was greeted with the same error as before: "your current version of Windows is more recent than the version that you are trying to level to.» Windows is unable to complete the upgrade. »

    Now my problems include:

    • Windows cannot update or check for updates
    • There is I don't know how to fix corrupted files
    • SP1 is no longer on my computer and I can't reinstall it

    Thanks for any help. !

  • Windows 7 Home Premium - cannot change the user name in the authentication dialog box

    I was hoping someone might be able to answer a question on how to get a computer running Windows 7 Home Premium to display both the username and password fields when attempting to authenticate on another Windows computer.

    Here's the situation: allow us that the leaders and other members of the staff allowed our Organization to establish a VPN connection to our corporate network (via Fortinet Forticlient, for what it's worth.)  Once the VPN connection is established, on the remote computer, the user must be able to access the UNC path to our file (\\servername\share) server.

    Because the remote user has not yet authenticated on the domain Active Directory of business, a dialog box should appear to the user input a user name and password.  Enter the user name (domain\username) and password and share should open, and the user must then be able to access the files in the share.

    I (and several other members of the staff) have been using this method successfully to access files via the VPN connection, and it works very well.  However, it does not work whenever the President of the company will connect to the VPN from his computer at home.

    Whenever the President connects the VPN and attempts to access the UNC path, he reports that the dialog box which appears on his computer at home has only one field for a password; the user name field appears to be on his local user account, and it doesn't have the ability to change.  (I have him asked if there is an option 'use authentication information', and he declares that there is not just a dialog box with a single field, the field of password.)

    The President is running Windows 7 Home Premium on his computer at home, so I thought that the problem could be because he was running this edition of Windows.  However, I have installed VPN client and test the connection on the server share file using the computer of my wife, who is also running Windows 7 Home Premium, and I received the two fields as expected authentication dialog box and has been able to authenticate to the domain successfully and open files from the share with no problems.

    Does anyone have recommendations on what I can try to allow the President to authenticate successfully to our server share?  I am confused, and it is eager to be able to get remote access to files on his home computer.

  • Windows Vista Home Premium cannot find Xbox 360 as extender

    This may be long but im giving information as possible.

    I'm good with the computer. My Vista Home Premium computer cannot find my xbox 360 as an Extender. When I use the WIndows media player 11 and share, he sees my xbox very well. Zune software, same thing. My xbox 360 is here no problem on my network in "My Network Places".

    In Media Center, once I typed the 8 digit number it is said that he can not find the Extender. I did the following:

    Reset my router
    Reformat my computer
    Reset my xbox 360
    Double checked I got the right 8-digit number in media center
    Disabled windows firewall
    Went to the tab exceptions and compatible: WIndows Media Center, Media Center Extender, eshell.exe, discovery network
    went to the management of the computer and turned on UPnP device host (changed the startup type to automatic and restarted my computer)
    Permit "filter multicast" in my router settings
    UPnp enabled in my router settings
    Upgrade Vista (with SP1 as well)
    Re-installed the drivers for my wireless card
    Connected to the Xbox 360 WIRED to my router

    Heres the funny thing, I have a Sony laptop vaio with Windows Media Center Edition 2005 on the same network that sees my xbox all the time. Its actually connected through a microsoft extension program (XboxMCE05Lite - enu.exe) basically it works fine.

    One funny thing that may help with my vista (Home premium) Windows Remote Assistant machine fails or the other.

    Any ideas? If this can help, too, this computer is built on the ground.  Sense, this isn't a HP, Dell, Sony, etc.

    Network equipment:
    Router Linksys WRT54G
    Map of Netgear WG311v3 54 Mbps Wireless

    works fine with my other laptop. So I guess that the problem must be my wireless card. I guess that's a PCI card it would have nothing to do with the problem. I'm going tomorrow to buy a NIC. USB Im not in a race simply because my internet works very well without getting a new network card. I am just puzzled and would like to get this to work because I hate running through computer problems and in abeyance. I'll get one tomorrow and let you know the guy.

  • Vista Home premium - cannot remove a network connection.

    I have administrator rights and remove button in "manage network connections", I get a pop up - but the connection that it does not remove.  Several reboots.
    Pls advise.  Thank you

    Hello

    Follow the steps below to remove the old network connections on a Windows vista computer.

    (1) use your mouse to click on the start menu, and then select Control Panel.

    2) click the button on "Network and Internet" Control Panel and select network and sharing Center.

    3) click on the tab "manage network connections".

    (4) find the old network connections you want to remove in the scroll bar. According to the number of connections you currently have in Windows Vista, it is possible that you need to scroll a bit to find the one you want to delete.

    5) click on the old connection you want to remove.

    6) click on the button 'delete '.

    (7) to confirm your selection by pressing 'Yes' when asked if you are sure you want to remove the connection. You can also choose to press 'Cancel' or 'No' to return to the previous screen and prohibit the removal of the connection.

    (8) notes that you can also change the network through the Network Wizard. Simply click on start, then "Connect To" and "show all connections".

    (9) select the network connection you want to change by clicking right on it and selecting the option you want. You can choose 'Disable' the connection, which would roughly have the same effect that completely removing, making it inactive.

    (10) press the button 'Delete' after clicking on a network connection in the network connection window. This will completely remove the connection in the same way that detached from the control panel.

  • File sharing works is not between two computers Windows 7 Home Premium on a work network.

    Desktop computer is connected to a hub that is connected to a wireless router.

    Laptop connects via the wireless router.

    Both computers are in the same workgroup.

    Two computers indicate that they are in the same network of 'work '.

    The two computers 'see' each other.

    Both computers have the same advanced sharing settings:

    • Turn on network discovery
    • Open file and printer sharing
    • Turn on public folder sharing
    • Streaming media is off
    • Use 128-bit encryption
    • Turn on password protected sharing
    • Homegroup connection is not used, but is set to 'use user accounts and passwords'.

    As I try to get the laptop to connect to a share on the desktop computer, the user accounts and passwords on the desktop include the user account and the password for the laptop. This is an administrator account.

    There are actions on the desktop computer and these actions include the credentials of the user of the laptop computer with read/write access.

    Or machines is now faced with my right. I know one of them use AVG Free, but I'm not sure what the other computer uses for antivirus.

    I get the error message has to do with the user account that I use is not eligible not by office machine. I'll post the exact message when I am in front of the computers within a few hours.

    Sharing files between the two had worked, but then stopped. When you first install file sharing, that I had run into a different problem on the desktop where all settings indicated should be shared, but clicking on through a screen I got a message that file and print sharing has been disabled and I want to turn it on? (even while fixing in advance sharing settings says he was turned on...)

    Any ideas? I'm pulling out my hair. Thank you!

  • Windows 7 Home Premium cannot be installed

    I have a Sony Vaio (series VPCEG) and tried to restart the computer to the factory setting. I do not have a disk so I tried atl + f10 and I restored it the computer. At the end of the process, an error message appeared, "Windows Installer" and the message reads, "Windows is unable to complete the installation. To install Windows on this computer, restart the installation"and does not give me the possibility to support on either. OK or the red X on the top right corner and it simply restores the computer so be it, and the same message appears. I tried to press ctrl + alt + delete and he took me to an account designated as an administrator and did not connect. After trying to restart the password it says that the account was disabled and to contact my administrator and now I can't use my laptop at all. I guess I just need to restart the installation but I can't find how to do that. Any help will be greatly appreciated!

    Hi maribeld,

  • Reinstalled Windows 7 Home Premium after the passage of hard drives. Lost activation key between yesterday and today.

    Everything is in the title, well enough. I bought a student upgrade copy of Windows 7 in late 2009 / early 2010 and installed it via Bootcamp on a MacBook Pro. I recently updated my hard drive, and to my dismay, did not have my backup of Windows and so I reinstalled the operating system. My only problem is that I lost the key. Can't find anywhere I tried to download a product keys Locator, but when I entered the key, it gave me it tells me that there is a default keyboard and can therefore be used for activation.

    I'm kind of at a loss for what to do here. The ID of the product was rejected when I looked, but I know for a fact that this copy of Windows is legitimate, since I checked before BONE. Any help would be appreciated...

  • Decryption of a disk of external encrypted by BitLocker on a device that is not BitLocker (Windows 7 Home Premium)

    Hi all

    I have a serious problem I tried to solve a few months now, but without success.

    I have this external hard drive I use to backup my data. These a few months ago, I plugged on my mother's computer to transfer files. His computer has the Windows 8.1 operating system, so it has installed in it and somehow, without giving me permission to BitLocker (and totally, I swear that I have not: D), it must have encrypted my external hard drive. When I then tried to connect it to my computer which runs on Windows 7 Home Premium, it just said that the drive is encrypted and cannot be opened. It does give me an option to enter the password or something like that. It will not only open.

    So, I have the recovery password that I got from my mother's laptop so I can open the external drive into any computer on which BitLocker is installed. But I can't get it running on my computer, which is the one that I need to run it on, of course...

    I checked and analyzed all the forums of discussion and forums and methods for disabling BitLocker encryption on a drive. They all have this method super-easy show where you just have to connect the player to a computer on which BitLocker, and you plug in, you should see an option "disable Bitlocker", after a right click on the device, on the upper left as you have the device open, or via the control panel. I tried to do it on 3 different computers with BitLockers, and none of them gave me such an option. I could only control encryption of the computer itself, but not to any external devices. I'm not kidding, it's just not there. Never.

    I also downloaded some freeware that said they could decipher the reader for you if you have the password, but none of them worked. So please, please, if you have any suggestions, ways I could solve this problem and get the external hard drive to be able to if run on my computer even once, I would be so grateful :)

    Thanks guys,.

    I could only control encryption of the computer itself, but not to any external devices.

    I just plugged an encrypted by BitLocker on a Windows 7 Starter machine flash disk and quickly got the prompt to enter the password. Given that this is not consistent with your own observations, I suspect that one of two things:

    • Encryption has not been successfully completed. Maybe the disc has been disconnected during the encryption process.
    • The disk is not encrypted but corrupt.

    I bring the disc the machine to your mother, save its data to another medium, then remove the encryption and/or distribution & format the drive.
