SMB1 solution?
Hi guys, I'm assuming my RN312 unit (bought in 2017) is using SMB1 but how do I know? I was doing a fresh wipe of my readnas system at the same time as upgrading from Windows 7 to Windows 10. I co...
Thanks for the help. I'm not sure I understand all of what you are saying. I need a crash course on user controls. I use my 312 in a home environment, mainly to stream movies to my dunes throughout the house via smb, not dlna. I also take advantage of btrfs self healing for my repository of personal files that I share on the network.
If you are accessing the NAS by name, try switching to IP address. I had to do that after the latest Windows 10 update.

ReadyNAS OS 6.9.4 (current) and a few builds before already introduced the WS-Discovery, and have disabled NetBIOS discovery name resolution by default.
Permitting the Windows 10 system is configured into a trusted private network (not a public network), all the systems are configured to the correct IP subnet, and there is no borked network device blocking Multicast, the ReadyNAS will show up in Windows Explorer, and the name is resolveable, too. Open Windows Explorer, and make the Discovery Method visible, you will see the WSD devices:
No tricks, no rocket science.
If you have legacy NAS systems (e.g. old RAIDiator systems), you must open the Windows Features and enable both the CIFS/SMB 1.0 Client and CIFS/SMB 1.0 Server (to bring back the NetBIOS name resolution and discovery).If this answer was intended for me, please use the correct thread (Using-your-ReadyNAS/Access-issues-after-upgrade-to-Win10-V1803 instead of hijackng the other user's thread for something that may not apply.
Not the solution, BTW. Still looking for one.
Well, it was the answer for your hint of having to use the IP address. This might make sense - just for one time - in case the Windows 10 system is configured to a Public Network, Explorer will suggest in a notification bar that you might have to make the current network to a private one.
