RN 314 Issues after updating to OS 6.10.2

After updating to 6.10.2, I can no longer see any network shares other than the Home folder. Prior to updating, I had a share named Home; that is now part of the Home folder, and appears there when accessing over the Network via Win 10 explorer, even though I renamed the folder to Home-1.
When I log in via a browser by going to the internal IP, i can see all the shares, but from the network cannot - which makes it more difficult to get things there.
Any ideas of what may have gone wrong and how to fix it? (SMB and NFS are running.)
Solved! Go to Solution.

On Home-1 it might be best to create a new share, copy the contents of Home-1 into it, delete Home-1, and then rename the new share (to something other than Home).
On the main issue, try running the Windows Command prompt and enter
net use * /delete
net use t: \\nas-ip-address\data /user:admin nas-admin-password
using the real NAS ip address and admin password of course. Be careful on the typing - particularly spaces and the slash direction.
The first command closes any network sessions open on the PC. The second maps the full data volume to drive letter T. You should see all the shares, Data, and Home on that drive letter if it works.

I'm surprised the system let you do that, as it is a duplicate share name. FWIW, it's a bad idea to give a share the same name as the data volume (normally called Data) or Home.

You are accessing with the NAS admin credentials? (normally seeing the data volume, home, and admin when you access with file explorer)? Or are you saying that Home is now part of your private share (which isn't named Home).
How did you rename the folder? (Windows explorer, or the web ui)? You shouldn't rename them from Explorer.

I had a share called "Home" prior to the upgrade and didn't realize that in the upgrade "Home" would take on a meaning that it didn't previously have, or I would have renamed it prior to the upgrade. I renamed the share I created called "Home" to "Home-1" (not the Home default share on the server). Now when I look at the server with Windows with Explorer, the ONLY folder I see on the server is Home, with the contents of the Home-1 folder (which is under a Share called "Documents")
However, I have numerous other shares: "Documents", "Music", etc., all available to Everyone (as well as admins), all available anonymously, none visible from Windows Explorer. Via the web and browser-interface, the shares are listed as <server>/data/<sharename>. That can't be accessed via Windows, and nor can <server>/<sharename> except for <server>/Home.
I renamed the folder through the browser interface.

Hi,
Tried the share creation, copy, etc. No impact.
Tried issuing the "net use" commands. Both gave: "System error 67 has occured. The network name cannot be found."

By the way, checked with other Win 10 computers - they also see the NAS 314 the same way.

OK, tried the net commands again - must have had something typed wrong before, they worked now and I have t: mapped.

Good. The shares should all be there. You can now also enter \\nas-ip-address into the file explorer address bar (keeping the drive letter mapped). That should show you the list of NAS shares (along with Data and the home folder).
Assuming it does, you should then run the Windows Credential Manager on the PC, and select "windows credentials". If there are no credentials for the NAS IP address or hostname, you should create them. If there are some, you should edit them and make sure that ths credentials are correct. (The username/password needs to match a user account on the NAS).
After that, try entering \\nas-name into the file explorer address bar (using the NAS hostname) and let us know if that works.

Even after editing the credentials, using the mapped drive works, entering the NAS-Name does not. All it shows me then is only the Home share with the same folders in it as were there from the beginning (original post.)

What happens if you enter this via the command prompt:
net use * /delete net use t: \\nas-name\data /user:admin nas-admin-password

I recently had a failure of my Surface Pro, and had to replace it. The new Surface Pro had exactly the same issue. Using the mapped drive via the command-prompt names allows me to access the files; however, the NAS 314 is still not accessible using the NAS-name.

Can you reach the web admin ui by browsing to https://NAS-name/admin ?
If not, the next steps are to
- reserve an IP address for the NAS in your router
- enter the NAS-name and associated IP address in your windows hosts file
The hosts file is located in %WINDIR%\system32\drivers\etc\. You'll need to open Notepad as admin, and then navigate to that folder to edit it. Enter the IP address first, then the NAS-name (separate them with a tab).
After you reboot the PC you should be able to access the NAS by name. It still might not show up in the file explorer left pane though.
If you can access the web admin ui by name, then try opening the Windows Credentials Manager on the surface and create a Windows credential for the NAS that uses a username on the NAS and it's associated password.

Re: RN 314 Issues after updating to OS 6.10.2
Thank you. The NAS had been reserved, but I had not added it to the hosts file. Doing so addressed the issue.

Great. That is really a workaround of course, but it is effective.
