If you can find them under network, you can always map them with a batch file in your startup menu so that they appear as a standard drive.
Open up notepad, then copy this in.
PING 99.99.99.99 -n 5 > NUL
NET USE X: /delete
NET USE X: \\STORA\Familylibrary
NET USE Y: /delete
NET USE Y: \\STORA\Mylibrary
NET USE Z: /delete
NET USE Z: \\STORA\MyComputers
Put in your password and username where it says (and remove the <>). Save it as file type "all files" to your desktop, and end the filename with .BAT
You can either leave it on your desktop and run it when you want, or you can right click on your start menu and explore it, then open programmes. In there is a folder called startup. Any .bat files saved in here will run whenever you startup your pc. Works a treat for me.
This is all thieved from someone else on these forums, who I am greatly indebted to.
Good luck
Wide.

Re: map network drive
Once you login to the Stora the 3 shares will automap. If you run Explorer it will show them as X:, Y:, & Z:.

I remaped the folder "myComputers" to drive S (for stora) and got rid of the drives X and Y (only in windows-they are still there on the stora). I only need the Stora as a backup device. I did try using it as a media server over the internet but it seems the processor is too slow and the memory too low to be useful anyway. That's how it seems anyway but you can't expect too much for this price, surely?
If you want to do the same, you could paste the following VBS into notepad and save it as a file on your desktop. Change the extension from "txt" to "vbs" and the Windows will know what to do when you click it.
Here is my code. You have to change 2 things, YOUR USERNAME AND YOUR PASSWORD. (Remove the [ ] brackets).
'================================================================================================
'Map the Stora network drive
'Syntax of the MapNetworkMethod
'object.MapNetworkDrive(strLocalName, strRemoteName, [bUpdateProfile], [strUser], [strPassword])
'Syntax of the RemoveNetworkDrive method
'object.RemoveNetworkDrive(strName, [bForce], [bUpdateProfile])
'Bekseju 12 October 2010
'================================================================================================
Option explicit
Dim ObjNetWork
Dim objShell
Const strCDrive ="S:"
Const strCPath = "\\STORA\MyComputers"
Const StrCNewName = "Stora"
Dim Ar
Dim i
Set objNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network")
Ar= Array("X:","Y:","z:")
'If the path does not exist, get an error so have to ignore it
On error resume next
For i=0 to 2
objNetwork.RemoveNetworkDrive Ar(i), "True","True"
Next
objNetwork.MapNetworkDrive strCdrive , strCPath,"True","[YourUserName]","[Yourpassword]"
'Rename this folder
Set objShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
objShell.NameSpace(strCDrive).Self.Name = strCNewName

Re: map network drive
Hi, I am really a novice when it comes to this stuff.
I understand what is trying to be done but am still having problems. So I tried to load them through the mapping function in explorer first to find my mistake. When I add the password and user id, it cant find it still and gives me an error. X: \\STORA\Familylibrary /USER:
When I map it using just the X: \\STORA\Familylibrary it works, the login screen appears and I enter the PW and User, all good. But I really do not want do this login every time.
Is there something that could be different that I need to try or add? If I am under a user on the PC? PC Name and user? I tried this but because I am not familiar with the logic in the writing this stuff it doenst work either. I tried looking on the internet for mapping logic and I still can get it. I know this is basic stuff, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time.

In Windows explorer, did you tick the box for "reconnect at log on"? If not, you'd have to re-enter your password every time

Remove the space after X:
ie.
X:\\STORA\Familylibrary

Re: map network drive
Thanks for your help. Yes I did check the reconnect and in the path you are correct I did not have the drive included it began with \\.

Re: map network drive
I put in the mapping field under X drive \\STORA\FamilyLibrary password /USER:username
I am still getting message "Windows cannot access"
If anyone can help please. I know this is basic and I will feel stupid once I figure it out. Thanks again to all who have help already
