Hey brother, I need to know can we map a drive with an IP address ??

So if I have shared drive on a PC with an static IP, and if I can somehow map that shared drive to another PC using its IP (Where in both the computers are not in LAN)

Will appreciate your expert advice on this.

[chriswilliamson]

hey eli, was just doing some computer support for a small business and was curious if they are using an old version of Sage accounting Business Vision software is mapping network drives a must?

Hey Eli, I have netgear R6300 router and Wndow 7. I attached external storage to Netgear by USB. here my problem, I used the wrong letter in Mapping network drive. I used Z when it should be U.  How can I correct that error.

Can i Map my network drive through the WAN via it's WAN IP so i can connect to my NAS box all over the world?

[john_thorpe]

Is there a way to map a URL as a drive?? I have a WD My Cloud (NAS drive) and would like it to act like a drive (like it does when I'm on my home network) outside of my network. I can access this drive by going to mycloud.com, but when I try to map that address as a drive letter, it says it can't connect. How can I map this drive to work as a drive letter when I'm outside of my network?

One example it with OneNote it syncs to this drive mapped as drive letter Y, I'd like to be able to open and access the notebooks like it does when I'm on my network over the internet.

[jamessoundwave]

For some reason not one of these techniques work for me I follow each technique step-by-step and I still have no network drives so I can't access the Internet

[mrtypr]

why wont it let me map in cmd run as admin ?

[billgreen]

Great video - but, any thoughts on mapping a drive based on a user location for a user who works at different offices from day to day?
