Using 'Net use' and DNS-323
I have a DLink DNS 323 used as a storage device for my W10 PC
Today I went to use it and the 2 mapped drives were missing.
Tried using D-Link 'Easy Search' utility, it finds the 323, along with IP data but when I click on a volume to Map, it fails with error "Failed to Map Drive"
Been advised this Utility no longer works under W10
Last time I had this issue I was given a solution to force mapping with: Net use Y: \\MachineName\ShareName
I tried today and get error 67
C:\>Net use Y:\\DLINK-EAB58D\Volume_1
System error 67 has occurred.
The network name cannot be found.
Am I just getting syntax wrong.
I can reach device from a browser, and access Admin interface so it is 'live'

Have you tried rebooting it, it may be having a senior moment.
-
Yep - been rebooted as has PC
I can browse to the IP address so it is on-line
Just can't get the drives mapped

Your command line has a little error in it.
Net use y: \\DLINK-EAB58D\Volume_1
There is a space required between y: and \\DLINK-EAB58D\Volume_1
-
OK .. Thanx for that ... I now get:
(c) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
C:\Users\Rick>Net use y: \\DLINK-EAB58D\Volume_1
The command completed successfully.
But the mapped drive does not appear in 'My Computer' I mapped both volumes to letters Y and Z
-
Are you able to reach them in a cmd ?
y: <enter>
dir <enter>
-
Yes ... and list contents Ok. for both drives (Y and Z)
-
Even after refreshing... On my computer the drive appears instantly...
-
-
Nope .... nothing there.
Just usual drives
I'll reboot PC to see if that fixes anything .... but can't do that now as some work in progress
- - - Updated - - -
Rebooted PC ..... still the same no mapped drives showing
-
Do you need a username / password normally to access your NAS ?
You can try Net use y: \\DLINK-EAB58D\Volume_1 /persistent:yes (if you don't need any credentials)
or
Net use y: \\DLINK-EAB58D\Volume_1 /savecred (If you need to)
