Ready NAS 104 Network Name "?"

I recently updated to 6.10.1 and also Edited the Names of both my ReadyNAS 104 (all fine), I now see a Question Mark (? - NetworkName) in Finder Sidebar (Connected Servers). The APF looks fine / normal.

 

I am using macOS Mojave 10.14.5.

 

Is this a recognised issue?

    Are you using an underscore in the host names?

     

    If so, try changing it to a dash (underscore isn't a legal character in hostnames).

      Hi StephenB,

       

      I was previously using _ in the Host Name, hence the name edit, now its legal.

       

      I also have a Windows 10 Surface Pro, this seems to be fine.

        I'm seeing the same issue - a "?" before the NAS name in the Mac finder. The NAS names are just upper and lower case letters and numbers.

      I use a dash and still have the same problem. 

  • We just upgraded our ReadyNAS 626 to the latest OS version 6.10.1

     

    When the server rebooted and we reconnected our macs, the usual network server icon was gone in the finder as seen in these screengrabs:

     

    All macs are running the latest version of macOS Mojave, though we see this same issue on older macs running Sierra.

    Thanks!

    Please advise on how to fix.
