Connecting to mapped network drive after Windows has booted
XYPlorer has a problem connecting to mapped network drives that become available AFTER Windows has booted. For example, if I start my laptop after Windows has booted, or I start a guest OS in Virtualbox and then try to access their mapped network drives, XYPlorer reports them as unavailable. However, if I open Windows Explorer and then click on either mapped network drive they connect without a problem. After accessing them via Windows Explorer they magically become available in XYPlorer as well. This has been a problem for me on Windows XP, Vista and now Windows 7. I figured it's about time to report this as a bug.
Thanks for looking into this as always!

Thanks for reporting. Currently I can't do much about it though. In my setup it always works and I have no idea what could be causing this.

Re: Connecting to mapped network drive after Windows has booted
Kinda related problem: I have a NAS with password-protected shares, and I cannot connect from XY. It tells me "Location currently not available", but it won't open the login/passwd popup (I must logon through Explorer).

Re: Connecting to mapped network drive after Windows has booted
Hm, the login issue was fixed long ago and should work. Can anybody confirm a problem with NAS shares?Reve_Etrange wrote:Kinda related problem: I have a NAS with password-protected shares, and I cannot connect from XY.

Re: Connecting to mapped network drive after Windows has booted
I am having the same problem with a regular mapped drive on a server. I get "Location currently not available". If I go to "Computer" (I am using win7) on the desktop - I can browse the mapped drive.
I've tried closing XY and restarting and I still get the error. I am running XY as administrator.
In doing some more testing - I just ran x2 and it asked for username and password when trying to browse the drive - even after I was able to browse from win7's "explorer". Strange. Now in XY I am able to browse the drive.
This is a domain network - if that helps.

Code: Select all
::lognetworkaccess
Now try to access such a drive (before it is made available via Explorer). Do you get a message box?

Re: Connecting to mapped network drive after Windows has booted
OK I finally rebooted to test this.
After reboot - started XY.
No access to mapped network drive.
type in address bar ::lognetworkaccess <enter> nothing happened.
still no love.
ran explorer - have access to mapped drive - no creds asked for
ran x2
no access to mapped drive - but I get login creds dialog - have access now in x2
back to xy - access to mapped drive.
After reboot - started XY.

type in address bar ::lognetworkaccess <enter> nothing happened.

1 - After reboot - started XY.
2 - No access to mapped network drive.
3 - type in address bar ::lognetworkaccess <enter>
4 - Try to access mapped network drive.
and got no message box after step 4, then I cannot do anything. That was my last idea for the moment.

Re: Connecting to mapped network drive after Windows has booted
After installing the latest beta (to get mixed sorting - thank you!!) - I did as you wanted me to - ::lognetworkaccess <enter>.
Nothing happened. Tried to access the mapped drive - nope.
Is that what you wanted me to do? What was supposed to show after typing ::lognetworkaccess <enter>?

Re: Connecting to mapped network drive after Windows has booted
I tried ::lognetworkacess 1 <enter> - I do not get any dialog or message of any type after trying to change to ANY folder or drive including a mapped drive.
