The old "Can't see readynas in network" problem again
Hi, i have an ultra 2 running the latest firmware (4.2.31) with one share set up for public access. I can't see it in file explorer.
I CAN ping the IP of the box
I CANNOT see it when i do \\devicename\ or \\ipaddress\
It DOES NOT show up in "network", only my PC does.
It DOES show up as a DLNA device, but nothing shows up in the folders, nor can i copy anything into them
RAIDar sees it fine and is the correct version (6.3.0)
I CAN access the admin page of the device fine, make changes, delete / create shares etc.
my pc is on the same workgroup
My PC is running 10 pro (1607) fully updated
Any thoughts??
Go into "turn windows features on or off" in the PC, and make sure the SMB 1.0 client is enabled.
Microsoft is deprecating SMB 1.0. It has security issues, but you need it to access your legacy Nas.

That fixed it. Thanks for that. I know it's old, but it still works, and it has some nice WD red 3TBs in it, so i don't want to muck with it...
Glad it helped.
Longer term, you could convert your NAS to run OS-6 (which uses SMB 3.0), or possibly use the Windows NFS client to reach your 4.2.x NAS.
