You might try \\<nas IP address>\media, if not successful then please share the IP address of you PC and NAS. Has anything else changed in your network?

also go into "turn windows features on or off" and make sure the SMB 1.0/CIFS client is enabled.
I suggest using the IP address rather than the hostname for now.
What firmware are you running?

Hi,
Thanks for your quick response.
SMB 1.0/CIFS client was enabled.
The firmware is 5.3.13.
Using IP address to get to the NAS. What else to try?
RAIDar shows NAS as healthy, both drives are running well.

If you can access the NAS shares from File Explorer with the IP address, then you likely have a discovery issue. One workaround is to reserve the IP address of the NAS in your router, and add the hostname to the PCs' Host file.
If you can't access the NAS shares from File Explorer with the IP address, then try running the command prompt on the PC (CMD):
net use * /delete /y net use t: \\nas-ip-address\sharename /user:admin nas-admin-password
using actual values for the NAS IP address, sharename, nas admin password of course. Be careful on the typing (both slash direction and spacing).
The first command terminates any open SMB sessions; the second attempts to map the share to drive letter T.
If that works, then try the commands again with the NAS hostname. Note the first command will undo the mapping of the drive letter.
Let us know what happens with these commands.
