I have a NAS device, it has 3 shares. On one computer I have access to all 3 of the shares. On another computer I keep getting this error when try and add a 2nd one.
The Network folder specified is currently mapped using a different user name and password [...]
That is the message I keep getting. What causes that?
EDIT:
Every share has it's own username and password.
EDIT: NET USE on the one running 3 from the same NAS device

Best Answer
NET USE
does not allow you to connect to the same server with different credentials. This is because it reuses the same relationship to map additional shares on the same server. You can work around this by making windows think it's a different server either by creating DNS aliases for the same NAS with different names or editing the hosts file on the clients.A better solution would be to change your account structure. Don't create an account on the NAS for each share. Create an account on the NAS for each client and give those accounts permissions to the shares.
