Can't find shares in windows 10
Hello,
Since I had some problems with connecting my ready nas (Ultra 2) I reset the unit to factory settings. And did do a new install (with new firmware).
Now I do have the problem that I ...
//nas-ip-address will open your browser, \\nas-ip-address is need to access shares over SMB.
It's most likely that your issue is because Microsoft is deprecating the SMB 1.0/CIFS client in Windows, and OS 4.2.x NAS don't support the newer SMB 3.0 protocol.
Go into "turn windows features on or off", and see if the SMB 1.0 client is installed. If it's not, then install it and reboot the PC. Then try the \\nas-ip-address again. If it still fails, you might also need to enter NAS credentials in the windows credential manager. Post back if that's the case.

Thank you stephenB. But in my list with features I can't find SMB 1.0 I can only find SMB direct. I work with Windows 10 Pro, might that be the difference/problem? And/or is there another way to enable SMB 1.0 client?
Problem solved!!
THank you StephenB.!
Indeed the SMB 1.0 client wasn't installed. I found a way to add it via the windows powershell (run as administrator):Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName smb1protocol
Also I did add the ip adress of the NAS in the reference library. WIth this now I can find/approach the shares via \\NAS-IP!
