Assuming you are using Samba, it should work. Can you access it via "network neighborhood" on Windows? If you can't that explains why Map Drive won't work either. I also recall getting much better error messages when connecting through network neighborhood.
One thing that sometimes trips me up, is that at least with the older versions of Windows I've used (7 & older) the Workgroups have to match on both machines. I also recall having issues with the Windows 7 "Home Group" settings. I've zero experience with Windows 8 and newer. If you are networking your Windows machine and your BBB with the "USB Ethernet gadget" connection there may be issues there, see if the BBB on a wired Ethernet connection can mount on your Windows box.
