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 re...
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.

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...

That's why the \\[NAS-IP-address]\ does likely list the shared folder, but not \\[NAS-name]\ ... figure.If you'd said "Although you don't need SMB 1.0, this will enable NetBIOS CIFS name resolution on the PC", I wouldn't have said what I did. But you didn't say that.
Your wording suggests that you are not certain your suggestion will work - is that the case? FWIW, I've seen this issue on some PCs that do have SMB 1 enabled, but I haven't looked for that lately. When I have a chance I will disable SMB 1 on a PC and see if that results in a name resolution failure.
