New backup job - remote Windows/NAS - Discover - No SMB Server found - RN316
RN316 f/w 6.9.3
I just tried to add a new backup job.
Using the remote tab, either on source or destination, cannot discover SMB devices.
Clicking 'Discover' shows 'browsing servers' briefly, then 'no SMB servers found'.
If I enter a host name clicking 'Browse' does show a share list, so SMB is working.
If I enter a share name, 'Test connecton' works.
I then:
rebooted the NAS.
disabled/enabled SMB. (Legacy Windows Discovery ticked, MacOS un-ticked)
rebooted NAS again.
I can access the NAS via SMB from Windows.
Other Linux & Windows boxes & RN316 showup in Windows 'Network', so SMB browsing works.
Anyone have any ideas why discovery is not working?

Have you set DNS on your NIC settings?
Yes.
SMB Discover currently works with MacOS, Linux and NAS Platforms as indicated.
I have a Linux PVR, and a NV+, neither show up.
Is the above meant to imply that Windows SMB/CIFS devices are not supported?

Windows SMB devices are supported, but discovery can be a bit hit-or-miss. Personally I use DHCP address reservation in my routers, and just use the IP address in the backup jobs. That works well.
