i recently updated my router to new one and since then my main win11 pc has lost connection to my other devices on my network. i can see them from the network screen in file explorer but when i select them i just get errors. i used to have several mapped network drives to my NAS units and one other windows 10 PC but they all stopped working and i have been unable to set them back up. My other PCs which are windows 10 still i can access the nas units and the mapped drives are working fine. i can ping the ip addresses of the other units from the win 11 pc just fine but if i select any of them from file explorer i get this error

Any ideas what could be causing this ? usually on the other boxes in past it would ask for login credentials or something but it just pops up with this error and i cant move forward. Let me know if anyone has any ideas

thanks

Try;

\\something is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions. The account is not authorized to log in from this station.

Right click on start, click run, type in regedit and hit enter. Open up Registry editor and go to the following:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa

Change the values on restrictanonymous and restrictanonymoussam to 0 on both PCs and reboot them. This fixed my issue and I was able to access both PCs shared drives.

please feedback the result :)
