Mapping Network Drive On Netgear Switch?
Aug 24, 2012
I am running XP Professional 32 bit SP3 on a Dell workstation.I am in a serviced office with internet connection via single ethernet port. This is set up as a VLAN for which I have 4 assigned IP addresses.I am using a Netgear GS605v4 switch to create a small network on my side of the port. Hooked to this is the workstation, the mybook live, and a laptop.All 3 connected components are assigned their IP addresses by DHCP. Both the workstation and the laptop can see the internet without difficulty. The networking of the components is another matter. Focusing on the workstation for the moment:On the workstation, I can ping the mybook. I have always been able to see its upnp logo in My Network Places, and double clicking always takes me to the web browser based dashboard where I can set up the device. I was initially able to see the public folder in My Network Places too, and could map a drive to this in an Explorer window. Typically after some time, the mapping would be lost (even without re-booting the machine), but I would be able to delete the connection and re-map it. After several attempts at this I could no longer map the drive or see the public folder in My Network Places anymore. After much internet searching and playing with lots of the suggested fixes (checking all required services available, matching user names between XP and the drive, playing with 'net view' etc) I was finally able to see and map the public folder yesterday by playing with the 'enable netbios' function in network connections (currently set to 'enable' from 'default' though this had not made any difference previously). I could see the drive in 'net view' though no master browser was listed, and once again map to the public folder, and access files on it.On turning on the workstation this morning I find that the mapping has again been lost. This time net view is back to reporting a system 53 error. I can ping the drive and use the dashboard, and I can see the public folder in My Network Places, but clicking it or mapping to it results in the usual 'network path not found' errors. The laptop is running Windows 7 and has not lost its mapping overnight, and can still access the public files.

At work we have a private network set up so that any computer that is plugged into the wall is on the same network. (i.e. all ip addresses are identical except for the last block of numbers)All machines are running WinXP.We have one computer set up as a file server (computer with shared folders) that is plugged into a wall socket. We have 3 other machines that can see and access the shared folder on the server computer once they are plugged into a wall socket. The odd thing is that these 3 machines have different settings as far as I can tell. They are all on different workgroups but they have no problem finding the shared folder.However, when I go to plug my laptop into a wall socket, I am not able to map a network drive. The error msg says it cannot find the drive. I have my laptop set-up on the same workgroup as the server computer and the server computer can see my laptop. But when I double click on my laptop in the server computer workgroup I get a msg saying permission is denied.
My laptop can connect to the internet, but cannot find the shared drive. I have tried turning off my laptop firewall, the server firewall, both firewalls etc with no success. In my Local Area Connections I have the following all enabled "Client for Microsoft Networks", "File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks", "QoS Packet Scheduler", "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)".

I have a WRVS4400N router and have successfully connected via Quick VPN Client 1.3.0.3 from my laptop running XP. I can ping any IP on my network, I can access HTTP addresses and remote desktop (VNC) applications but I cannot map a network drive.
The network drive is on a PC running XP, I have tried mapping using the system name as well as the ip and neither work. There are no problems mapping the drive(s) when connected directly to the router LAN/WLAN.

I have never had to share an Ubuntu drive to windows before, and I never thought it would end up being this difficult. What I need to do is share my 500gb drive in ubuntu, it is a secondary drive, not the primary with the OS on it, to my windows xp and my windows 7 machines. So far I have samba installed on the ubuntu machine and I have formatted and set everything up. The issue is that I just cant figure out how to connect to it in windows becuase when i use the map network drive feature it says something about no network found.

i currently have a netgear wgr614v9 running the most recent firmware update and a tplink nr741nd running the latest dd wrt firmware.the netgear is my main router connected to the modem positioned in the living room attached to this is a wired ps3, wii and various laptops connect wirelessly to this. In my bedroom i have the tplink router is is setup as a client on the netgear router allowing media network drive access to the internet.
eg.
--- wired
~~~ wireless
modem-----netgear~~~~~~tplink----network drive
What i would like to achive is to be able to connect to the netgear router wirelessly and have access to the network drive attached to tplink router.I have tried a client bridge on the dd wrt firmware but this does not work at all. I have read that i need to setup a VPN on the dd wrt but i can find anything on how to do this when trying to access a drive on a second level.

I've setup a home network using Netgear N300 wireless router (using Windows 7).
I'm trying to get one of my hard drives to be available on the network, so I went to the "sharing" tab of the HD's properties setting and allowed sharing on the HD and turned off password protection so that you don't need a password to access the HD.I also set the permissions to give full control, change, and read access to the "Everyone" group.
From another computer in the network, I tried connecting to the network HD but ultimately got "Access denied" despite the fact that I gave full control to "Everyone".How do I get the computer to be able to connect to the shared HD?

I have a netgear DGN2200 router with a USB port built in. I also have a WD External Hard drive, When using the hard drive plugged directly into my laptop I get transfer speeds of roughly 20 mb/s,However when I plug the hard drive into the router and transfer wireless i only get 1.2 mb/s.Also I'm looking to get a USB > Ethernet adapter, would this increase transfer speeds wirelessly?If not how do I go about increase transfer speeds?

I have several computers on a network hooked to a server. All of these computers are running XP and have are mapped to a drive on my server. The problem is, once in a while the mapped drive will suddenly not be there. I can manually remap them and sometimes I have to remap 2 or 3 times before it keeps.

I have w7 and the D-Link DIR-655 router.I just replaced the same router that crapped out on me.I'm online with no issues but for some reason, I can't map some of my computers to one another. At first, it seemed like it was going well on a couple of them. Others ask for the windows password.I'm not sure, but I think it's the Homegroup password?I remember one of the the homegroup passwords and all computers are joined, but the only password I recall/know isn't working on any computers.
Questions: Can't I map network drives through the router functionality and do away with the homegroups altogether? I'd really like to do that. I'm not really impressed with homegroups.
if the answer is no, how the heck to I figure out or get new passwords? This wasn't an issue in the past. Not sure if somehow, I changed a setting?While searching around, I found the "manage credentials" area. Never noticed before.

I have a medium enviroment with 2 x Cat4500 switches and 50 x Cat3650 plus few Cat3750 switches. I'm looking for a network mapping tool to map all the network equipment so I can easy to manage or trouble shoot the network. It doesn't matter if it's free or paid but something I can try first before buy.

I have a windows 7 desktop with an SSD and regular mechanical hard drive where I keep my data. I also have a laptop with a small SSD as well. I wanted to keep the laptop free of non-critical data so I decided to setup a file share between my desktop (Windows 7 home prem) and my laptop (Windows 7 pro). I was able share the files and navigate to my desktop through my laptop. I successfully mapped the folder as a network drive and all was well. Then I rebooted and I was disconnected from it, it remembered that it was there but I needed to manually connect to it and I needed to provide my login credentials. There is no password just a username.
What is causing this and is there a way to get around this? Also is there a way to set a timeout because if my desktop is not on and I want to use my laptop, the boot times are much longer compared to when I don't have the mapped network drive on my laptop at all.

I'm trying to see if I can fix my friend's NAS which apparently has some pretty important data on it that wasn't saved anywhere else. They actually had the Geeksquad look at it and they've come to the same conclusion I have so far, but I figured I would ask the internet before I gave the thing back to them and said Geeksquad was right.
Anyways, they have this 5 drive RAIDed NAS which apparently just stopped showing up on their network. I borrowed it from them to see if I could figure it out. It turns on just fine and my router assigns it an IP address, but the IP address just takes me to a blank LaCie dashboard screen. It's weird because it's clearly running it's web server because it's just a gray background with an empty white box and "(c) LaCie 2010" at the bottom. No content at all.
Additionally, I tried installing the LaCie Network Assistant on my home computer and it says it cannot find any network disks. I've tried the "wake up a device" where I enter the mac address, but that doesn't do anything.
All the lights are solid blue on the front and over all the drives so it doesn't appear a drive has failed or something. Even so, that wouldn't really explain the blank dashboard right?

I am connecting the router to a corporate network that assigns "real" IP to it (DHCP). Then I have 3 computers connecting to this router (local IP 192.168.1.2-4).Assuming I want to access a network drive named "ADrive" (on the same corporate LAN) from any of those 3 PCs, how do I do it? ("\ADrive" does not work, neither does replacing the network drive name with its IP, cannot ping either - it's like I'm on a totally separate network).

I'm currently in college, and do most things with my laptop, and I have wifi just about everywhere. It has a generous 500 GB of storage, but I'd like to store non-essential files on, an external hard drive. However, lugging around 3 TB of storage isn't exactly feasible, and with my experience with my current 1.5 TB portable drive, me running around everywhere with it bouncing in my bag is just going to abuse it until it stops functioning (which it has...)[URL]

I have an old, old Netgear 814v2 that I'd like to use as a switch to, in effect, extend my wireless range and allow other old hardware that is NOT WPA-capable to connect to my network. From what I've read, it ought to be fairly easy: disable DHCP on the Netgear, and connect the Netgear to the router via a LAN port not the WAN port. This should, I gather, convert the former router to a simple switch.Having done this: if I connect to the Netgear-turned-switch via a LAN port (cable) everything works fine (the computer gets valid IP's, subnet mask, DHCP server and DNS server IPs). Great! It's a switch!But if I connect via wireless it gets an oddball IP address out of range of the normal IP's for a client computer, and no default Gateway or DNS server IP's. Which is to say, hardwired network connection through the Netgear-turned-switch works fine; wireless works not at all.Why would the Netgear-turned-switch fail to pass through for wireless, and work just fine for wired? What am I missing?(For those who are concerned, if I get this to work, I'll provide security on the Netgear by specifying MAC addresses that can connect.

We have a user that works from home and connects to our network through a VPN when she needs to access files on our server (mapped as a shared drive.)I created a new shared folder on that same server and she can't map a drive to it. It just continuously prompts for username/password.She is running Win 7 Pro, server is Server 2008. The server is on a domain, she is not. She already has a mapped drive to a different folder on the same server as well as to a folder on another server. We are trying to map using the IP address (\IPFolder) and have tried putting the username as IPUsername and just Username with no luck. Tried mapping with net use. Found some stuff online about changing some registry values - tried that. Change the network type from "Home" to "Work" and still no luck.

We have a network drive and it's ip is 192.168.1.3. We have created different users with different permissions for each folders. I have a problem in mapping the network drive in each computer. I can map each folder in them though.I access the drive using run command \192.168.1.3 and it displays all folders. I map the folder but don't know how to map the drive itself.

A program is installed on our server, and I run it on my pc by mapping a network drive to the server's hard drive.I'm sure you all know this procedure.Anyway, I can access the shared drive on the server from my pc, browse, create and delete files on the server, all fine.But, when I try to map the drive, it says:"Windows cannot find 'WEaXA.EXe'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again."And its only on my pc this happens, on all the other pcs its working fine. And from my pc I can map any other shared folder/drive.

I've seen some supposed 'tutorials' on this but they differ quite a bit: do any of you know for sure how to map a microsoft skydrive folder as a network drive so that clients can use it as a 'normal' way of sharing files?the same question could be posed for Google Docs - I guess these are competitors/equivalent in aim.

I have a 1TB internal SATA HD that I want to turn into a network drive. Since the MB in the desktop I had this drive in fried, I'm looking for options to network this drive (that stores photos, music, utilities, etc). So far after brief research, looks like my most reliable option would be an external enclosure with USB and a router with a USB share port.
-what other options do I have?
-what would be a good wireless N/G router with a USB share port, great range or range extender option and can handle multiple devices online (xbox, ps3, wii, droid phones, 2x or more laptops, wifi Tv all not connected at once, but a few can be, so I need a router to handle the demand)
-a good reliable external enclosure
I need a router that has a good strong signal. The current G router I have (d-link di-524(?)) works ok, but the signal cuts out in the kitchen and virtually non-existent in my garage (to use Pandora on phone).

So my old router needed replacement and my dad bought a Netgear gigabit ethernet switch instead of a router. It said that it gets 1Gbps when I look inside the local area connection speed. The problem was we tried to use it like a router but only 2 computers could connect to the internet at one time but it was indeed noticeably faster when it came to video streaming speed. We since returned it and bought a Netgear N600 router that says the speed is 300mbps but like my old router it shows the speed is actually 100mbps and the streaming is good for the most part but every now and then slows down. Would using the ethernet switch with our new router work with streaming speeds and connection stability and of course let more computers connect and also use the routers wireless.
