Hi all,

All of a sudden we got a weird problem. We have a local wired network
with 2 W10 PC's and a W10 PC which acts as a server. On the server are
maps with files, which are accessable from our PC's. From my PC I have
access to all maps on the server. However, from the PC of my wife there
was all of a sudden no access to the maps anymore. We got this error
message when trying to open the map Files on the server (Z:):
An error occurred while attempting to reconnect Z: to \\Server\Files.
Microsoft Windows Network: The local device name is already in use. This
connection has not been restored.

I rebooted her PC and the server, it didn't solve it.
On her PC I placed a system image back which I made with Macrium Reflect
a month ago. After starting up again, the problem was still there. No
maps are accessable. And, when opening the file explorer on her PC, it
takes a long time to open.
Do you have any suggestions how to solve this nasty problem?

Many thanks in advance.

With regards,
Fokke Nauta

There are too many unknowns here to give any specific advice.

How are IP addresses allocated to all these PCs?

Specifically for the machine you call "server", is its IP address always
the same? Ideally it should be, especially for diagnostic purposes,
like now. If so, how is this achieved?

Can you ping "server" by IP address from the PC "Wife"?

Can you ping "server" by Name from the PC "Wife"?

Do all the PC use the same username and password?

Are there separate accounts for the Local Administrator, Local Users,
and users with a Microsoft Account?

How is the file sharing configured on the machine "server"?

This is done by the router. They get fixed addresses, depending on their
Mac address.

Yes, ofcourse.

By the router.

Yes

No.

Every PC has a local admin account.

File sharing is enabled for the two accounts of the PC's.

Hi all,

I got the problem solved.
I placed an image back, created by Macrium Reflect, from a year ago.
Now the problem is gone, it works OK again. I'll never know what was wrong.
And now I'll get a lot of updates :-)
But I'm glad it works.

So we can see that the problem is with Microsoft's name resolution.

I suspect one of the Microsoft Updates will break it again!

It would have been better to have identified the actual cause of the
problem. Otherwise it will only come back again, perhaps in a slightly
different form ...

Correct. Every PC, the server as well, get their IP address from the
router, depending on their Mac addresses.

Yes, that's true. But what the reason was, we'll never know.

I don't know what the cause of the problem was. Haven't got a clue.

If you run

control.exe

there are Troubleshooters you could attempt to use.
But these don't help every problem, so those
are a low percentage solution.

Well,

After the Windows updates the problem is back again. Did it all for nothing.
I'm back at the beginning. Any suggestions?

[As the problem is back after an update:]

Call me stupid, but from the error message, I deduce that the *local*
*device*, i.e drive letter Z, is already in use.

On the problem client (not the server) the Network Drive Z: should be
visible in File Explorer in the 'This PC' view. If so, right-click on
the Network Drive Z: and choose 'Disconnect'. Now do whatever you did
initially (i.e. probably a long time ago) to create Network Drive Z:,
i.e. 'Map network drive...'.

You've proved that a MS update caused the problem. That's not back at
the beginning. Far from it. You can rule out any change you made personally.
And because MS caused it, there will be others across the Net who also
got hit. A good and well phrased Google search should contact them.

Good article and a nice set of commands. Hope it helps Fokke.

BTW, I hope Newyana2 isn't watching! Can't fix a problem with a couple
of commands, when you can fix it with umpteen clicks, can you!? :-)

Hi Frank,

I will try the suggestions from Paul tomorrow. And if it won't work, I
set an image back from a year ago again, and will not update Windows.

Hi Paul,

Thanks.

I did:

net use

net use Z: /delete (that worked)

net use Z: \\Server\Files /user:"Fokke Nauta" xxx (where xxx stands for
the password). This did not work.

I placed a system image back from November. Now it worked again, but I
will definitively not update Windows.

Hi all,

The problem is solved. I placed a system image back from November 2023,
and it works! I will definitively not update Windows anymore, because
one of the updates caused the problem.
Many thanks for your help and suggestions.

With kind regards,

Fokke

Newyana2 is a poster in this/these group(s) who doesn't like
command-line commands, thinks they're old-fashioned, should not be
needed, etc., etc.. Hence the tease ('plaagstoot') and the smiley.

Of course *both* command-line commands *and* GUIs (Grahical User
Interfaces) have their uses. If not, one or the other would cease to
exist and Microsoft would not be *adding* command-line commands over
time.

'Umpteen' means 'a lot of' (Dutch 'talloze'). Similar to 'a zillion',
etc..

Did you get an error message? If so, what did it say?

If you did not get an error message, then what does "This did not
work." mean, i.e. what did not work and did that give an error message
and if so which?

Yes. It said: An error occurred while attempting to reconnect Z: to
\\Server\Files.

When I went on further, I got the message: Microsoft Windows Network:
The local device name is already in use. This connection has not been
restored.

Dir \\Server: The system cannot find the specified path.
Dir Z: Cannot find the network path.
