Can't see ReadyNAS in Network
Hi
After installing Windows 10 i can no longer see Readynas under the network list. I can see all other computers using the network, including wireless and wired. However as NAS does not appear here i cannot map a drive to any folders on the NAS. I can see that Windows recognises the NAS under "Network locations" via DLNA (i believe). However, when i try to play a media folder using this link windows attempts to download the file.
Is there anything i can test to rectify this?

Actually, whatever i have done has appeared to work. There must have been a slight delay. The NAS has now appeared in the network, along with all the other computers in my home LAN. Thanks to everyone for all the help.

Hello McGarnagle,
Welcome to the community!
Can you still access the admin page? When you type //<NAS IP> (ex. //192.168.3.2), does it get you to the volume of the NAS?
Please also include the model number and firmware version of your NAS.
Regards,
from UI go to the "account" tab and select "authentication". see if workgroup name is "workgroup". if not u may change to workgroup

Hi JennC
Thanks for the reply. I can indeed acces the Admin page. The model is ReadyNAS 316 and the firmware is 6.4.1.
In regards to cps8088's reply i checked the workgroup and found it to be incorrect. I changed it to "Workgroup", thinking this would solve the problem. However, it seems that the NAS still does not appear in the network list.
Hello McGarnagle,
What happens when you type \\NAS IP in the Windows explorer?
Can you try installing SMB+ and enable SMB 1.0 version, see if that helps.
