4.1.7 Slow To Respond To SMB Network Discovery...

Hi Sean,

I am getting the impression that the lack of response to the questions about downgrading to 4.1.6 means that the answer isn't really clear.

Or Netgear are concerned about the process of reverting to the previous firmware.

Assuming you tend to leave your ReadyNAS Duo turned on for eternities at a time like I do, toggling the CIFS service on and off seems like a useful (although far from acceptable) fix. I've had instant-access all evening, and I am also fortunate enough to have mine connected to a battery backup so that I doubt I will have to worry about this until I am forced to reboot.

I have just verified your observations. I toggled CIFS off and then on (within a few seconds) and I can now find and access shares on the DUO from my PVRs. As you said, this is a hack but it does help with the immediate problem.

Hopefully this will give the Netgear engineers something more with which to work.

Regards,
Ian.
