NAS not showing under Network again after update to 6.4.2
I recently updated the firmware of NAS device. after update, the NAS device not visible on the network. But I can type the name on the run command and access. But i want the nas device to be visible...
I just switch off the and on our 8-port switch. then the NAS drive is visible to all the computers in the network. thans who supported me.
If this is with Windows 10, I think there might be some fixes coming from Microsoft (at least I recall seeing a post to this effect on another thread).
No. It's Windows 7. ????

Well, as I said earlier this is very hit-or-miss (and has been for a long time). It's hard to tell if its a bug in Linux or Windows. You can waste a lot of time trying to wrestle this to the ground.
One thing to check is the workgroup settings on the NAS and PC - they should match.

Hello ndverge,
It must be the network is becoming to strict, firewall blocking it probably.
Regards,
It could also be an issue in the switch. It has its own layer-2 routing tables, and might not be distributing the discovery traffic correctly. Rebooting the switch clears the tables, and it broadcasts everything until it rebuilds those tables again (looking at the mac addresses that are active on every port).
