Doesn't show up in my Network, can't map drive

Windows 10 Pro

Shows up under "Storage" but not under "Computer"

Can ping it fine

browser to IP works fine (http://192.168.1.237/admin)

Made sure SMB 1.0, both client and server, was installed and rebooted

I enabled NetBIOS over TCP/IP in the WINS section of the adapter settings

Set the sharing options had network discovery ON and automatic setup of network connected devices ON

 

In the ReadyNAS admin, I tried turning on System->Settings->SMB, but it auto-turns off the second I turn it on

Not sure what other settings to set in those System->Settings

 

Any ideas?

  • Adding a few things:

     

    Any "net view" command has the error: "System error 53 has occurred"..."The network path was not found"

    The NAS and my PC are both set to networkd group "WORKGROUP"

    NFS is also installed correctly in Windows 10

    This is your issue right here. If you cannot enable the SMB protocol then no file sharing will be possible to/from your Windows machine. Possibly this is a browser issue. Can you close the browser --> clear all browser cache and try to enable SMB again? Also, try with a different browser as well.

     

     

    • I tried it in Internet Explorer, Chrome, and Edge.  Clear cache on all of them and re-tried.  No luck. The SMB option keeps auto-turning off on its own.

        I reset factory settings on the device and that worked.  Now the drive shows in the Network.

         

        The Home Folder for users added are inaccessible by anyone.  Even the user they are created for.

         

        The setting for Home Folder is set to SMB enabled.  I don't see any other settings.

         

        Any ideas?
