I was trying to connect to my NAS drive from my Windows 7 machine and got an interesting error. A little googling told me that a restart of the PC should solve the problem. I don’t want to and I know that is why you are here too.

So, if your problem as stated here is this

The network folder specified is currently mapped using a different user name and password. To connect using a different user name and password, first disconnect any existing mappings to this network share.

and this

Multiple connections to a server or shared resource by the same user, using more than one user name, are not allowed. Disconnect all previous connections to the server or shared resource and try again.

then all you have to do is this

1) Open your Run window or Hit Window+R and type cmd. That should open your command window.

2) Type net use as in

C:\Users\Jason>net use
New connections will be remembered.

The command completed successfully.

3) Type net use /delete <your serverpath\sharedfoldername> as in

C:\Users\Jason>net use /delete \\192.168.1.7\IPC$
\\192.168.1.7\IPC$ was deleted successfully.

Now, try reconnecting.

I am still experimenting with octopress and don’t know how to trackback to the original source. Apologies.
