troubledguy22 is on a distinguished road

Default The local device name is already in use

Okay let me begin by saying I am a complete beginner and I only know the basics of computing.

Okay bascially my computer is on a network and I tried to access my drive on the network and a dialog box came up saying

"Error connecting to "\\server\my drive" Microsoft Windows Network. The local device name is already in use.

The connection has not been restored"

Does anyone know what this means and can anyone explain this in "SIMPLE" english as I am quite bewildered. If you need any extra information please ask.

(Sorry if this is in the wrong section but I didnt know where to put it)
