Windows 10 loses discoverablity when ReadyNAS joins network
My home network contains a Windows 7 PC, a Windows 7 laptop, a Windows 10 PC and my ReadyNAS 102 running the latest update. If I shut down my NAS and reboot my W10 PC, the W10 PC can network browse ...
The NAS does have a static IP but all of my DHCP devices use a different range so there’s no IP conflict.
Do you have legacy windows discovery enabled on the NAS?
- Yes I do

- the Win 7 systems don't show it in the network list
- that clicking on it in the network list doesn't work
- something else?
Have you tried entering \\Win10-IP-Address in the explorer bar of the Win 7 systems? Use the real IP addess of the Win 10 system of course, and be careful to use the correct slash direction.
- I have made some progress. After reading some MS Windows group notes, I inspected the properties of my Wifi adaptor and found the something, probably a recent W10 forced update and undone the Netbios/TCP setting.
I know can click on my W10 File Explorer Network tab and W10 sees itself, my W7 PCs and my ReadyNAS.
However, not true from my W7 File Explorer Network tab. My W10 PC only shows up if if manually enter \\servername in the search window.
