Script to Connect to Network Drive
Good Day all, I've gleaned so much information from these posts, that I thought it's time for me to contribute something, as well. So, here we go: I have created a little vbscript, which can be...
Followed how-to 1; set up WINS on router with NAS IP; released, renewed, purged; rebooted, but no change.
net view only displayed PC in use (NAS & router only other devices on).
I even checked some other settings (new router) and enabled UPnP, successfully pinged the NAS, but it made no difference. And the reserved IP settings in the DHCP pool for the devices are the same. Could this be the reason? These settings are in LAN Groups, so (I think) if I delete them from there would it help? If so, should I still leave the NAS listed (see below)?
The NAS was/is set up with a static IP, and configured on the router/firewall as static. Its IP is outside of DHCP server pool.

The purge (nbtstat -R)will flush any cached addresses and force the client to request new ones from the WINS server.
