I have this annoying problem: I cannot access network drives / computers on my same network anymore! I have a QNAP (nas) on IP 192.168.178.5, and other PCs in the same network. The other PCs can access any network device storage, yet I cannot.

I even tried by putting simply

\\192.168.178.5 (nas)

It still doesn't work, saying "Windows cannot access the system, check for spelling errors".

It's not a permissions problem, since every other PC in the network can access the NAS with no problem. Only I have the problem and it's also a fairly recent one (1 week give or take, before that it was all working fine).

Any help would be appreciated.

  • Probably your SMB1 protocoll is deactivated. Assuming you use Windows Vista or later: look to this answer and do the stuff described under Enable Client-SMB1 on the W7:. Any changes? Dec 28, 2014 at 21:11

    If you are using wifi, try to connect to the network via cable and try again to access the qnap.
