Networked With Server

reyak · 09-22-2007, 05:48 AM

I'm having serious problems running a Snap Server. I run it as an extra hard drive. No operating system, just a file holder. It only seems to work if I run it through a network router called Linksys (BEFSR41 V4). Mind you, I dont know if it can work directly, this is only the way I figured out how. Irritating, but it works....sort of. Mind you, the router is worthless for anything else because I cannot configure it for the internet.

Now, the main problem. I disconnected everything to change locations, and now the server wont work. All the lights are on on the router and server, but when I try to map the drive, it says;

"the mapped network drive could not be created because the following error has occured: The workstation driver is not installed."

I tried looking for the drivers for both pieces of hardware, but I dont know where to get them, yes I know, manufaturers websites, but I can't find them there.

I have a windows XP Home OS on an Emachine computer. I'm running SP2. The device manager gives me no answers, not even a warning.

Can someone help?

Hi reyak,

Let's start with the basics.

1) What is the IP address of the computer you are using?
2) What is the IP address of the SNAP?
3) Are the computer and the SNAP plugged into the same switch?
