Ladies and gentleman;
After zillions of try i am able to solve the problem. Fisrt you shoul apply all the solutions thats told here. Afterwards reset your network. Again reconnect to network and activate netbios over tcp again. use credidentials under windows control panel and add NASNAME, nas admin username (admin if you havent changed) and admin password. Now you can map your network. Map the network as \NASNAME\FOLDERNAME (nasname is the name of your nas, and select the folder you want) you cant map withour folder. If system asks for password enter “admin” and admin password in the dashboard as you entered credidentials.
Thats all.
Had to log on to this forum for the first time ever, just to say thank you for the solution! My access disappeared after a windows update with no obvious solution or help from WD.
Hi Guys - this worked for me in Windows 11 where again it kept asking me for the Windows credentials. I spent many hours in this. Mapping the drive after deleting any previous credentials means I could put in username (Drive name) and Password I had put in for WD.
