Problem with network drive to NAS

[JeroenVossen]

Hello,

I have a LS210D, connected via a network drive in Windows 11. Since a power cut the NAS has a problem. Everyday it is unable to connect to the network drive. I have to go to the NAS admin page, and change the user data used to login, like remove the email address and then add it again. So a change in the user data is triggered. Then the network drive connects again.
How can this be solved permanently? Any help?
Thanks in advance.

Kind regards,

Jevo

Start with this:
1.  Make sure SMB 2.0 is turned on for the LS210D.  Windows 11 needs it to communicate with the Linkstation 210D

2.  How are you mapping the drive?  Are you using the windows 'map network drive' icon from File Explorer?  If so, right click the mapped share and disconnect it.
or delete the previous share via command prompt:
net use X: /delete   where X: is the drive you mapped the linkstation to.


3.  Try the command net use command from a command prompt window and see what happens.
net use X: \\LS210D-hostname-here\Drive-Share-here /user:LS210D-hostname-here\username password
ex:  net use X: \\LS210D-01\Disk1 /user:LS210D-01\MyUserName MyPassword

what is the error message you get, if any?


always use the hostname\user format so that the map is using the account that is on the linkstation.  otherwise you may have problems.


I don't map with windows explorer and I have never had problems mapping a LinkStation using the net use command.  try it and let us know the error- if there is one.
