Buffalo LinkStation™ 200 Series - LS220D0202 - Windows cannot access drive error

[Zytel]

Hi - I own a Buffalo LinkStation™ 200 Series - LS220D0202 and use it for a back-up.  Recently I switched internet providers (and router) and could not connect thru my windows network.  I can access the drive via webpage successfully and Nas Navigator recognizes it.  A couple days ago, I switched back to my old ISP and original router, yet still can not connect thru my windows network connection.  The Windows error I get is "Windows cannot access \\LS220D361" with error details "Error Code: 0x80070035. The network path was not found".  Strange thing is I can see the drive as a "Media Device" yet not as a windows network connection.  Thanks for your attention.

You said NAS Navigator sees it, what happens if you double-click on the NAS icon?

[Zytel]

I can see the Buffalo Drive, % drive capacity and usage, along with network addresses on the left.

And if you double-click it, or click it and hit the "browse shares" button, can you access it?

[Zytel]

No - the hour glass spins for 2 seconds and nothing happens.

open a command prompt and run the command "ipconfig /flushdns". This sounds like it could be a DNS problem.

[Zytel]

Okay - successfully flushed DNS as suggested - same issue is occurring.

Do you have SMBv1 enabled? https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2696547/how-to-detect-enable-and-disable-smbv1-smbv2-and-smbv3-in-windows-and

Haven't been able to access the LS220D for months now.  got a new computer and can see the DLNA in windows explorer, yet not the shared files.  Not sure how to obtain access...

[Texturtle]

It is likely that you have SMBv1 disabled on Windows. Did you check the article that parsobarus posted?

Hi - SMBv1 sharing support in active.

If you enable FTP on the admin page and share can you access it using that protocol?
