Can't access NAS but can ping it

I used to access my NAS by typing "\\mydrive" in the folder path. But after I have added computers into my local network, some computers became failed to access the NAS (it shows that it cannot find the specific location).
I can still ping the NAS IP and also other computers in the network.
Can anyone tell me how to solve this problem?
 
Does the problem exist only on the new computers? If so, you'll probably want to make sure they're all in the same workgroup (or you'll have to include the workgroup name in the path manually but I forget how to do that). I'm assuming you're using Windows, of course.
 
What happens if you type \\<IP of NAS>?

What OS is the NAS running?

Has anything changed on the NAS, like installing a firewall or something?
 
If I type \\<IP>, the result is the same.
The NAS is running on Linux OS.
No changes are applied to the NAS, only new computers are added to the internal internet.

Thank you!
 
Make sure your Samba service is still running (or try restarting it) on the NAS. I'll assume it's configured correctly because you said it was working before.

i.e. sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart
