Verify TCP/IP address for shared drive
Hi,
I have a shortcut to access a local network shared external drive. It shows an address of \\192.168.1.4 This shortcut generally fails with "192.168.1.4Public is not accessable. You may not have permission to use the network resource. Contact the administrator fo this device to find out if you have access permission". Sometimes it works and gives me the opportunity to enter the admin name and password. I can access the drive with Windows Explorer using the Network entry in explorer. How can I verify the if address in the shortcut is correct? Is there some other problem that I should address? Thanks -- Frank C Dell Inspiron 530S Win Vista Ultimate 64 bit SP1 Dell studio laptop Win Vista Ultimate 64 bit SP1 HP Photosmart D7260

Verify TCP/IP address for shared drive
It could be many causes. 1. Make sure the remote PC always uses Ip
192.168.1.4. 2. make sure no firewall blocks the access. 3. You may want to create the same username on both computers. Or this search result may help.

Verify TCP/IP address for shared drive
Hi
You also have to obtain the manual of the External Network Drive and read the Sharing instructions. These Drives are usually Not formatted with NTFS and it could be issues of compatibility that should be addressed by the Drive's manufacturer. Jack (MS, MVP-Networking) "Frank C" wrote in message ...

Verify TCP/IP address for shared drive
Thanks to Bob and Jack,
I have gotten successful access via the shortcut if I insure that the external drive is powered up before I boot the computer. It then presents a screen to enter the logon via a dropdown and enter a password. I hope this is a permanent solution!
