Home network using WORKGROUP. One computer running Windows 10 suddenly (about 2 weeks ago) stopped being able to access NAS device (shared hard drive). The error given is "The specified network name is no longer available." It is the same whether connected to the network via wi-fi or ethernet.
With the computer in question, I can see the NAS on the network and can ping it using IP address. When I click on it under network, I can open the setup app on the NAS. But, when I try to map a network drive to it, I get the error message noted above.
Another Windows 10 computer has no problem accessing the same NAS, so the NAS and router seem to be OK.
Any advice would be welcomed.
