    WinXP update broke networking?

    After an automatic update on one of my XP machines today, I can no longer connect to my NAS. I still have internet access, and can ping the server, but when trying to map the drive, it says "The specified server cannot perform the requested operation". If I click on a drive that was already mapped, it says "The connection has not been restored". Anybody else run into this yet? Apparently it's been happening on my Sister's computer too.

    What updates have you installed?
    Is your sister's PC trying to connect to the same NAS? Have you rebooted the NAS?

      What i would do is use the restore feature to restore to the point where you were before the updates. Then install them one at a time until you find the one causing the problem. When you know which one is the problem you can start searching the internet for possible solutions or ask here again. I haven't encountered it myself so i don't know what might cause it.

        The NAS is on a static IP. My Windows 7 machines are working fine still.

        Here are the updates that installed today:



        One thing I just found out, is that iTunes can still access the shared library on my Win7 machine, so I know it's just limited to mapping a drive.

          Turn all off and restart one at a time. Router/switch then systems. Usually clears the hiccup.

            Could be the arp cache has the wrong entry. Doing what Toasty says above will clear out the arp cache.

            arp = address resolution protocol

              Fixed it:

              My NAS is Linux based, so that was it :-)

                Troubleshooting of redundant F750E-S0 Dell PowerEdge Server
                by omega
                Hello all,
                as a beginner electronics hobbyist, after a few years I would like to place another post on this Forum section, given that I did not succeed in finding any useful advice among the other posts.

                Over the last years, I have been using a PowerEdge Dell Server with two redundant PSUs, namely the 750W F750E-S0 ones (aka 06W2PW). Unfortunately, last summer one of them failed (perhaps owing to an overheating), and the server had for working to take into account the other one only. Of course I opened and tried to troubleshoot the failed PSU, but each cap I tested seemed to...

                Fixed: Lenovo P14s Gen 1 (type 20Y1, 20Y2) Laptop (ThinkPad) bricked by a withdrawn BIOS update (r1buj82w)
                by akwky
                Hi!
                Went dumpster-diving and found a bricked Lenovo P14S in trash, few weeks earlier. Symptoms - no screen, no POST, no beep, just keyboard LEDs flashing on powerup. Mute button+LED was responding though, and the display self-test was still working (via the key combo Ctrl+Fn+Power held for some seconds, see the Service manual).

                Incidentally, Windows 11 have recently started auto-flashing computer BIOS in our region. Even more suspiciously, Lenovo has released a BIOS update just few days before the PC was trashed. About a week later, the BIOS update image has been oficially marked...

                Hello to everyone ,

                This is my first post here, and i would like to share with you a small story in case you can help me.

                Docker Type-C Gen 2 - Model 40AS. Was given to me by a friend for free ,but with the problem that you cannot use the video output ports.

                All ports work , USB , Ethernet, Type C ... but HDMI + Display Port don't work

                I searched on reddit and google for problem similar to that, and a LOT of people had fixed this problem by updating the firmware. So i tried , i searched and found 1.1.13 utility and 1.1.20 utility that can help...

                z490-f gaming bricked after bios update
                by lordgeny
                I had to assemble a PC with this Z490-F Gaming motherboard and an i7-1700K CPU. Upon the first boot, the CPU LED was red and flashing. I realized that I needed to update the BIOS. I didn't read the ASUS notice that said, "Before BIOS update, please download Intel ME update tool from ASUS support site, and update ME firmware to Version 14.1.53.1649V1.1 to ensure optimized system settings." I updated the BIOS without doing this, and everything seemed fine until the system performed an Intel ME update and shut down permanently. My attempts to reflash it were unsuccessful. Searching online,...
