My ReadyNAS does not show up as a Network Computer
Can someone tell me if the ReadyNAS is supposed to show up as a Network Computer? I can mount it as a Network Drive but no matter what setting I have tried it will not show up as a Network attached c...
Please have a quick (if you can) look at https://community.netgear.com/t5/Using-your-ReadyNAS/windows-not-showing-ReadyNAS-name-in-network/m-p/945867.
Although the solution MAY not apply to you, there are lots of pointers and ideas in it.
I am not saying it will give you the solution (although it might), but we don't want to reinvent the wheel again, do we?
Regards and good luck on your quest.
Good night.
Just to add .... and I do not claim any credit for it, but it is quick and MAY work for you on Windows 10.
Try this:-
Right click start menu and choose "Control Panel", then "Programs"
Under 'Programs and Features' select "Turn Windows features on or off" (this requires admin rights)
If "SMB 1.0/CIFS File Sharing Support" is not enabled, enable it and reboot.
Let us know if this helpd:)
Hi BAJohn,
Thanks for the suggestion. I looked under Programs and Features and "SMB 1.0/CIFS File Sharing Support" was already checked off and installed. So I unchecked, restared, then rechecked and restarted again but still no ReadyNAS under Network computers.
Was a great idea. I may try installing the insider build (using one of the Mods suggestions above) on an old PC and seeing if that PC can see the drive. I'll let everyone know-here if it works.
Thanks everyone!
