I have found that Network Paths (short version) are no longer working. I have a local path to my nas device and can no longer access it via the short path.
If I enter \\jvnas\ nothing happens at all. If I enter it with the full path \\jvnas.my.address\ it works fine. If I ping jvnas it returns the full path and pings fine.
Something has changed recently as this was working before and I still have shortcuts in file explorer with the short path. I have run out of ideas and need to get the short path working as I have a big LightRoom database attached to a short name.
Have tried in advanced options of the network adaptor to add the address to append but as it is finding it with ping then can't see it needs it.
Checked the sharing options and they look okay and as I said can access via the full name.
any ideas welcome.
