    Problem sharing files/folders after motherboard change


    Hi, had a motherboard die an had to swap in a new one. Same brand/model and I reconnected the same peripherals.
    Can boot up ok but not all shared/mapped folders are working.

    An error occurred while reconnecting E: to
    \\HUB\WD Red
    Microsoft Windows Network: The local device name is already in use.
    This connection has not been restored.

    The change altered the machine IPv4 number, would this be why?
    And is there a fix I can try? Thanks. (Using Win 10 Version 22H2 (08 Build 190453930)

    You can use your router configuration or windows itself to assign a specific IP number to your machine if that's what you need..
