      The fact that you can ping the server tells me your issue is not a network issue.

      So my question is, are you sure the directory in question has been shared properly? Can other devices connect to it? If so, try mapping the drive using the IP address.

      ie: \\192.168.1.4\[shared folder]

      For example, lets say you have a shared directory on the server as follows: C:\files\shared When mapping to it, you would map as follows:

      \\192.168.1.4\files\shared

      For some odd reason in Windows, shares on the network do not always appear in “Network” Also, not all devices show up. I have a NAS device that never appears in “Network” although all my PC’s do. So when I map to it, I do so using the IP as in my above example.

      It matters not how straight the gate,
      How charged with punishments the scroll,
      I am the master of my fate;
      I am the captain of my soul.
