Hello all.

I have several network drives from my nas mapped to my pc.

When ever I start my pc I get a message saying could not connect to all network drives.

If I open My computer the drives have a big red X on them, if I select one of the drives I can access it straight away without entering any credentionals.

I need them to connect automatically as this pc is used as a HTPC and all my meda is on my mapped drives.

Cheers.

Tom.

Disconnect your mapped drives and then re-map.

Tried that, still not working.

Its stange as i can double click the drive and it will access it without asking for any details. It just wont automatically connect when I boot up.
