Is there any reason for a networked hard drive not to show up? I have this problem several times after a restart. I can access the remote hard drive via my computer (mapped), but not media portal. Then I'll restart again and it all works again. Is there any reason for this?

I had tis problem , but it turned out that i mapped it to the IP number and not the name in the configuration. did you change the ip number of the network pc on which the drive is?

possibly the pc name changed?

try and reset the drive network address of this drive/ directory in die configuration.

Don't know if you are interested in this or not but I created a simple exe that destroys and recreates mapped drives from a vbs file. You could add a call to the vbs file in autoexec.bat if you like. Just change the drive letters and the location that you would like it mapped to and then save it as net.vbs.

The mapdrv exe can be download from http://www.meedios.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=8634#8634

vbs file:
Option Explicit

On Error Resume Next
'Remaps drives to fileserver

MapDrv "L:","\\192.168.1.50\G"
MapDrv "T:","\\192.168.1.50\Video"
MapDrv "V:","\\192.168.1.50\Video (C)"
MapDrv "W:","\\192.168.1.50\Video (F)"
MapDrv "X:","\\192.168.1.50\Video (C)"
MapDrv "Y:","\\192.168.1.50\Video (H)"

Hope this helps
