All laptops but one can access the USB drive on \tplinklogin.net. All other devices have no problem either, phones etc.
The error message reads:
The laptop has been away for over a month on another network and I suspect the access has been disabled due to that. Any suggestions?
Welcome to the forum can you first try by its ip see if that work ie \192.168.1.0volume1
Would help to know the model number of your router current firmware installed & version of the router. Also need the mfg and model of the USB drive.
Thanks Samuria,Welcome to the forum can you first try by its ip see if that work ie \192.168.1.0volume1
I do not think it is a pingable device as it is just a hard drive attached to the router. The router of course (default gateway) pings very nicely.
Like I said, All other devices can access this drive. Using Chrome to access \192.168.0.1volume1 does work. So it may be something to do with the drive mapping, T Drive, and the other disc, Volume 9 is U Drive
Archer C7 v1 latest firmware installed.Would help to know the model number of your router current firmware installed & version of the router. Also need the mfg and model of the USB drive.
The other laptop is a cloned hard drive of this one so all settings are pretty much the same.
This laptop is an ASUS GL752W. It has to be a windows 10 issue, I reckon. I'm running Avast professional antivirus. I disabled the firewall and it makes no difference. My OS is Windows 10 on all devices, this one is windows home, the others are windows 10 professional or enterprise. Things were working fine until the month away from this server.
the \tplinklogin.net. isnt being picked up via dns or netbios that is the problem as a quick fix you could put it in the host file

Could you elaborate how you would do that please?
I'll give it a shot.
This may have indeed been the issue. I entered the IP address in the run line instead of the url that Tp Link instruct, that is: \192.168.0.1volume1 instead of \tplinklogin.netthe \tplinklogin.net. isnt being picked up via dns or netbios that is the problem as a quick fix you could put it in the host file
The drive showed up in the network section of windows explorer instead of the local drive section. I've mapped it, again with the same drive letters the other machines are using and it is working perfectly. I cannot get it to fail.
Consider this solved! Thank you.
