You may encounter the error "The specified network name is no longer available" when accessing a share. Often the problem occurs when working with NAS storage servers. Sometimes you can get access, but an error message may appear when you synchronize files.

Got an issue similar to this but the only problem is as soon as I click connect, it goes to printer installation then another window pops up stating its connecting *Ip address* enter username and password. Now the computer it's being shared from doesn't have a password on it and it won't accept anything. I checked the network settings and everything is set to share printer and no password requirement. Unsure what to do now
