I have two practically identical Yoga 2 Pro laptops with 8.1. One of them (mine) and several other computers (W7 and 8) are attached to a Zyxel NSA221 network drive. I had no trouble mapping the drives, and they reconnect flawlessly thanks to NetDrives (no thanks to Microsoft for never correcting that issue).
The slightly newer Yoga 2 Pro (my wife's) cannot see the network shares at all. If I turn the media server software on in the NAS, I can easily attach to it as a media server. But mapping the network drives always gives me a "network path not found" error message. It's not a 'Credentials' issue, it just doesn't see it.
It shows up in devices as a media device and an "other" device (if the media software is enabled). But does not show up at all in the left-hand pane under Network. Nor does it show up while browsing when trying to map a network drive. Oddly, the Brother printer does not show up either despite the fact that it is her default printer. see what I mean in attached screenshots:
I've spent hours Googling my hair off and trying all the usual suspects (discovery on, firewall off, etc.)
Any ideas?
Thanks.
