Unable to access NAS via WIN11 File Manager
My ReadyNAS 214 (Firmware Ver.6.1010) is no longer available using Windows11 File Explorer.
The error message is
"\\WOODSIDE is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. network path was not found"
The NAS "WOODSIDE" appears under Network on the File Explorer screen & I can connect using RAIDar or https://192.168.1.18/admin/. But I am unable to map the drive, or access using File Explorer.
I have tried several on-line fixes - but no luck so far.
Cheers
Rob
No rocket science, and answered at least a dozen times here and elsewhere: Open your "Turn on and Off Windows Features" (most simple by typing "Windows Features" t0 the search field, or head to the Control Panel and locate it), and Enable both the "SMB 1.0/CIFS Client" and the "SMB 1.0/CIFS Server", click OK, and reboot once required.
This will add the CIFS NetBIOS name resolution requires the SMB 1.0 transport protocol feature installed.

OS-6 NAS (RN214) do not require SMB 1.0

Wrong. The point is -not- the SMB 1.0 transport, the missing feature is the NetBIOS CIFS name resolution. That's why the \\[NAS-IP-address]\ does likely list the shared folder, but not \\[NAS-name]\ ... figure. No idea why you are ALWAYS coming up stating the same wrong feedback...

Does entering \\192.168.1.18 in the file explorer address bar give you access?
Yes.
The ReadyNAS is capable of becoming master browser if "Legacy Windows Discovery" is enabled. I found this in nmbd.log:
Server Pro2B at IP 192.168.192.41 is announcing itself as a local master browser for workgroup SPACE and we think we are master. Forcing election.Your results will vary depending on NAS name, IP address, and workgroup name. Pro2B is one of my two NAS that stay powered on all the time, so it's a good choice for master browser.
