cannot access network drive in Windows 10 pro

I can access on computers running Win 7, Win 10, but not this one running Win 10 pro, I've tried both wired and wireless connections, although I can still access USB drives plugged in the USB port on the router, just not this drive

Are you the owner of all of these computers?
--a computer you have from your may not see your home network if it configured a certain way and connects to the network at your office
How is this HDD attached to your network?
--shared from a pc
--connected to a router or gateway on your home network
--mounted in a server or NAS device
How are you trying to connect to the HDD on your network?
