I have this annoying problem: I cannot access network drives / computers on my same network anymore! I have a QNAP (nas) on IP 192.168.178.5, and other PCs in the same network. The other PCs can access any network device storage, yet I cannot.
I even tried by putting simply
\\192.168.178.5 (nas)
It still doesn't work, saying "Windows cannot access the system, check for spelling errors".
It's not a permissions problem, since every other PC in the network can access the NAS with no problem. Only I have the problem and it's also a fairly recent one (1 week give or take, before that it was all working fine).
Any help would be appreciated.

run cmd.exe and enter there:
net view \\192.168.178.5. What is the result? – marsh-wiggle – 2014-12-28T20:49:05.957System error 53 has occurred.
The network path was not found. – ANon – 2014-12-28T21:04:02.083
Yet, I can ping and I can access the web interface of the nas... – ANon – 2014-12-28T21:04:23.150
Probably your SMB1 protocoll is deactivated. Assuming you use Windows Vista or later: look to this answer and do the stuff described under Enable Client-SMB1 on the W7:. Any changes?
