Can ping network drive but can't access it

[breckjensen]

hello,

Is very odd issue. one of our clients has a couple network drives which they swap once a week. (Windows 2008 Server).

Last night I got an error that the backup failed. When I log on, the drive is not showing up however I can ping it. Any suggestion what I could try? Any experience what could cause that?

Please help.

Thanks!

I didn't find the right solution from the Internet.
