I have a NAS at home - built with a Raspberry Pi and a spare 2TB HDD using the openmediavault package.
Until today I could see it fine as a network drive on my home network using my Windows 11 PC (which I set up to map it to drive letter Z:). Today this broke - I can't access the drive in File Explorer - I get an error code 0x80070035.
I can still find the NAS fine using my iPad, and also on my PC I have a web interface for it which is working fine.
If I go to command prompt and type "NET USE" I see the following:
Status Local Remote Network
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Disconnected Z: \\RASPBERRYPI\PiShare Microsoft Windows Network
Does anyone know how I can fix this please?
Edit (to respond to initial comments):
Network discovery is enabled (wired connection to router - PC doesn't have wi-fi)
If I type ping RASPBERRYPI
at the command prompt I get:
Ping request could not find host RASPBERRYPI. Please check the name and try again.
If I type nslookup RASPBERRYPI
I get:
C:\Windows\System32>nslookup RASPBERRYPI
Server: dsldevice.lan
Address: 192.168.1.254
Name: RASPBERRYPI.lan
Addresses: 192.168.1.123
192.168.1.123
Does that help?
nslookup
)?ipconfig /flushdns
to clear the dns cache in windowsnetsh interface IP delete arpcache
to clear the arp cache (unlikely to be an issue, but worth a last ditch). There are other things to reset in Windows networking but if rebooting and resetting those don't work then you likely have a deeper problem.
