    How do I map a network drive on a different subnet.

    I have a Iomega Media Drive on subnet 192.168.1.18 attached to my gateway which is 192.168.1.1

    I then have a Zyxel router 192.168.1.16 (wan configuration) connected to the gateway & the Zyxel lan configuration is 192.168.2.1.

    All works well I have the internet working on both networks. I can ping the Iomega drive from 192.168.2.1 but can't map a drive from the same network.

    I have tried using map a network drive by IP address No joy, and cmd line using the following Net use x: \\192.168.1.18\ No joy....

    any ideas on how to map it from 192.168.2.1 to 192.168.1.18.

    Cheers :confused:

    Try mapping and check the box to "use different credentials" and then use the necessary credentials.

    Yeah tried that no joy, not sure what credentials to use, as it's a media player not a machine, so I used the credentials for the local machine which has admin rights.

    Does the device have a login panel via a Web browser? If so, you may have to setup users on it & then use those credentials to see its shares on the network and to map it.

    You would have to define a new route in your router on 192.168.2.1 if you can't define it on your media player.

    And as Tony already said, you may have to login with different credentials.
