Problems with network shares from Windows 10 to ReadyNasDuo V2
Hello all. I saw that this topic has been discussed before, but as I found no solution applicable to my situation I repost. Also I didn't find any suitable location for my post. Maybe a location ad...

Connecting to Duo in explorer using \\ip-address works like a charm.
No, I'm not using /user on the net use command.
I was wondering if credentials were part of the puzzle, since Microsoft has changed their security policies for guest access. But that clearly isn't your situation.
One change in new versions of windows is the way network discovery is done. It used to use netbios name resolution - and the Duo does advertise the hostname that way. But more recently, Microsoft added in WS-Discovery.
Issues with hostname resolution are pretty common, especially between Windows and Linux systems (your NAS does run linux). Often folks can't find a good solution, so they need to use a workaround. You can just use the IP address. But you can also manually enter the hostname/ip address in the PC hosts file as mentioned above.
Hello,
thanks for your answer.
OK, apparently I'm running a Duo V1.
Connecting to Duo in explorer using \\ip-address works like a charm.
No, I'm not using /user on the net use command.
The log file is painstakingly empty. No entry since 2012.
I have however now enabled connection logging and especially via SMB. I'll see what happens.
Regards
Hans
