Odd behavior on USB Sharing
I have an odd situation that I believe is caused by my windows machine but I am hoping someone can enlighten me on how to fix this. I had a usb drive used for storage in the router for a good while now, without issue. A week ago it became unresponsive, so I took it out and determined that the drive itself had went bad. I put in a new USB and it began to work again on all computers on my network except one. The oddness comes from the fact that this computer can see the drive as a media device, but no usb storage folder.
Now should I try to manually type in \\Network-Sharing I get a blank folder.
The oddness continues in that ONLY if I rename the folder in the routers settings and use that can I then access the folder. As if windows is somehow remembering the old drive and has special folder set aside for it, and will not let the new drive take possession of it. Renaming the folder back to Network-Storage then sends me to the blank folder again.
Does anyone have any idea of what could be causing this? Is there a way to clear the memory of old network drives I had mapped before?
