December 13, 20178 yr Hi, I just built my NAS I'm using unraid plus 6.3.5, I have an issue with it where its on 24/7 but in the mornings when I try to connect to the network drive from my windows 8.1 computer It can not connect , but it still works to connect to the webGui of the nas from my W8.1 pc, so the network works to some degree, but to make the network drive work again I have to pull out the Ethernet cable from my NAS then plug it in again then it instantly works again. I don't have a router just using a simple switch: TP-Link TL-SG105 - 5-Port / Gigabit Switch / Unmanaged, and the NAS MB: asrock c236 wsi. Edited December 13, 20178 yr by Patan77
December 13, 20178 yr Is your window Box sleeping? Switch the mapping for the network drive to instead reference the IP address.

At night I turn completely off my windows 8.1 PC not sleeping mode, I have now changed my network drive to IP instead, lets see if it makes any difference, have to wait to tomorrow to know if it worked. But I have a feeling it might be something else because it not only the network drive also when clicking on network then computers and click the NAS computer that is on the network it is not accessible until I re-plug the Ethernet.
