The message I get is "Windows cannot access\\NAS-D5-F1-A2" If Iclick on details it returns Error code 0x80070035. The network path was not found" Clicking on diagnose returns "Troubleshooting cannot identify the problem." Any ideas? Screen shot attached.
What happens if you open CMD and enter:
net use * /del /y
net use t: \\NAS-D5-F1-A2\SHARENAME /user:admin NAS-ADMIN-PASSWORDreplacing the placeholder SHARENAME with a real share name, and replacing NAS-ADMIN-PASSWORD with the real NAS admin password.
Ok. I tried that but got an error. I added the substituted the share 'media' and the password 'password'. (Haven't changed it yet!) Screen shot attached. I must have done something wrong.
missed the 1st line: Net use */del /y as a separate line
Response to this line is:
There are no entries in the list.
Then when I execute the 2nd line:
net use t: \\NAS-D5-F1-A2\media /user:admin password
I get a response that the specified network password is not correct. But it is unless there is a context error.
And to make matters more interesting, the files on the NAS boxes are now accessable on file explorer???? Fixed itself?

It could be that the net use * /del /y resolved it. That command terminates any open SMB sessions.
But I have no explanation on why the second command gave you the password error.
THis probably resolved itself. My backup using SynchBack Free ran successfully at 3:00 am. So it was good at that time. The reason I posted the yesterday was that SynchBack was having problems and the other issues were there. The only thing that I can think that I ran the day before was USBOblivion which cleans up a bunch of USB issues but it could do some other things. I will run it again and then see if I am ok. I'll try net use * /del /y in the future when I see this problem. It is a situation I see once in a while. Thank you for your help. Very much appreciated.
