Log out on the nas
On the NAS we have, I have installed 5 users: three for my three children, one for my wife and one for myself. Everyone has his own map with his own documents. If one of us wants to reach his folder, he has to log in.
As soon as the next persone wants to log out and wants to use one of his files in his map, he has to restart the computer (windows 10), before he can log in.
Preferably, I would be able to log in and out, without restarting the computer. Is there a way?
I read something about a batch file, which is totaly new for me. I found this code:
@echo [off] use net \\<ip adress NAS> /d
If I start this, I get the folowing error: "Can not find the network connection. Type NET HELPMSG 2250 for more help."
When I type "NET HELPMSG 2250" in my cmd, I get "Can not find the network connection" as answere.
Does anyone knows what I am doing wrong or is there another way to log out?
Thank you in advance

There is a delay of about one minute between giving the assignment to log out and the possibility to log in again. I think this has to do something with my internet connection (how faster my connection is, how faster I will be able to log in again). Is this right? And is there a way to shorten this delay?
I think it just takes a while for the log out to complete. Exiting all the programs might speed it up. I don't think this has anything to do with the NAS.

Windows treats the IP address and the host name like different machines - so that fails.
Note that means that you can access the NAS by IP address using different credentials if you want to. For instance, set up the IP address to access the NAS using the admin account.

Are all 5 of you are logging out of windows, and then logging back in again? Or are you sharing the same windows account?

If there are no network connections (no one accessed the NAS), then you would get this error.
Also, if you accessed the NAS using it's host name, you'd need to use net use \\<nas name> /d instead of using the ip address.
net use * /d would close all network connections, so you could just use that.
I accessed the NAS using it's host name, while i tried to remove the connection with the NAS' ip address. It does work now, for which thanks!
