Network connection pc on bbox external drive impossible
BernieLeDingue Posted messages 9 Status Membre -
Hello,
I just changed my PC and I can no longer connect to the external drive connected to my Bbox.
The PC (Windows 11) is connected via Wi-Fi to the fiber box.
Thank you for your help!

Hello.
The entire system needs to be reconfigured https://www.assistance.bouyguestelecom.fr/s/article/partage-ordinateurs-disque-dur-bbox

A hello, a response, a thank you are always appreciated.
What does that mean? Do we need to switch to a private network? But that's not what's blocking access to the network.
I switched to private, restarted everything including the Box, but I still can't connect to the USB key on the Box. However, sharing between PCs is active.
I don't understand. I have exactly the same network configuration as my old PC, but nothing works, and yet I've tried several methods described on the Internet that are supposed to solve the problem.
Thank you for trying to help me!
The problem is that on my network all the PCs including mine can communicate and share with each other, and the other PCs (on W10) can access the USB key but not mine. Exactly the same Windows firewall and antivirus + Malwarebytes + ProtonVPN configuration on all PCs.
The only difference I can find between them all is that mine is on W11 Pro.
I did exactly what you said.
I ran IPconfig, retrieved the IP address of the default gateway, and entered \\IP address in the address bar of the explorer.
And here is the message:
There is no need to hide your box's local address; there must be something you're doing wrong. If you enter the address correctly, there’s no reason to receive this message.
This is what I get when I type the address of my box (which has Windows sharing) in the explorer:
It's normal for it to ask for authentication; it's configured on the box and under a username different from my Windows account.
Just in case, try enabling the SMBV1 client in the Windows options, but the message you’re getting does not correspond to that, and a modern box should not need this antiquity.
Hello and thank you!
Sorry, I had been away.
I had already done it and I did it again... When I enter \\Bbox I get an error message saying that Windows cannot access it. I ran the diagnostic and as often the response is that everything is fine!
I also restarted the box, no result. I have 2 other PCs (on W10) connected to the USB key. Is it related to the fact that it's W11?
