I've got a HP Microserver in my loft which was set up as a mapped drive from my laptop. A while back the Microserver lost connection to the DHCP server (router) and started using the default IP address that Windows gives it.
Once I'd realised what had happened and I restored the connection it picked up a new DHCP IP address. The problem I have is that the mapped drive no longer works.
I've tried to remap the drive using \\HP_Microserver and using the IP address, but neither works. Angry IP scanner doesn't see the IP address as active, although some other scanner software did and I can't ping the IP address. However, the Microserver has VNC installed and I can put the IP address into the VNC viewer and get straight onto the server and I can see the rest of the network from the Microserver.
Does anyone know how to resolve this please?
