Hi,

After updating the firmware last night, I am not able to access any of the shares on the network drive. I can't map the shares because each time I try to remap the shares, I have to put in the password, which I never set. I basically cannot access the network drive using the Windows Explorer (get the 0x80070043 error => The network name cannot be found), I can still pretty much access the drive using dashboard

Here is what I have done before posting the question

  1. restarted the drive using dashboard
  2. shut down the drive and then restarted the drive using dashboard
  3. restarted the computer and then tried remapping
  4. changed the name of the network drive and did the three steps

BTW, I can still access the drive and pretty much do anything using the WD2GO app (stream music, open files etc.)

I am using Windows 8 x64 with media centre (was using the same OS before updating)

Before last night I was pretty much able to do evevrything I wanted with the drive

Help will be appreciated

    • Sihoo Doro C300 Pro V2 Ergonomic Office Chair review: The Ikea of chairs

      By Steven P. · Posted

      Huh? I have an Aeron Remastered and the backrest cannot go up or down (only the lumbar is adjustable). Yes, the Doro C300 Pro V2's backrest can be locked, but the locking mechanism is so weak that when you recline and lean back the backrest moves with your body. I think the whole purpose of this chair is that all of the moving parts (except for the rocking, which can be locked in place) are supposed to move with your body, as you shift your weight, that's why I couldn't get used to it. Some people might like it though. Its redeeming factor is the price, I mean it costs like a quarter of what a new Herman MIller (Aeron) costs.

      Well done Massie. This is how to treat the Fox News filth.

    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval

      I notice how you dodged the questions I had about the racism shown by ignorant, gullible, cowardly people when the Poles, like your partner, were the immigrants. Ahem. I wonder how you'd feel if native born Brits suddenly treated you as "dirty crooked immigrant" for being half Trump-American? If they ordered you to leave and "go back to your corrupt country" (on the other side of the Atlantic), would you go? The truth is based on facts as supported by evidence. As requested in your previous posts, I have used the facts in your own post to show everyone the truth.

      US citizens are paying to their government, who could use that to fund healthcare and tuition and relieve the costs of these for citizens instead of making tax breaks that overwhelmingly favor the rich. I'm not saying that tariffs are the correct solution, but what else would they be used for? What else could Trump have in mind for wanting them, if he hasn't figured out that labor costs are higher in the US?
