This is normally caused by having a unconnected mapped network drive.

When you open Windows Explorer see if any of the possible network drives
show a red mark on the drive icon. If so, click on Tools, Disconnect
Network Drive and see if there are any drives listed that may have been
removed from service (a computer turned off or drive that has been
unshared.) Do the Tools, Disconnect even if no drive is showing to ensure
that a USB device is not "hiding" a network drive.

Let us know what the status is and if there is, in fact a network.
