EruvWeather, TheEther, guys, this is driving me nuts...
As it stands NOW my wife's PC continues to have NET VIEW work properly, and has since I did a clean install of her X64 W10 Pro Ver. 1709. On the other hand mine will only work IF I reboot the Router and her PC is not on. Once her's comes on, it no longer works, and will never work again until I reboot the router.
I opened the POWERSHELL on both PC's and ran "get-smbserverconfiguration" and compared results.
Interesting, on mine EnableSMB1Protocol is set to True, but on her's, it is set to False?
Checking Features installed I have SMB1 Server checked where her's has Client checked?
Odd, what do you have?
I've set mine to Client now but need to re-boot. Will update when I come back on.
EDIT:
FIXED IT!!!!
GET-SMBSERVERCONFIGURATION now matches her's and it WORKS as expected!!!

\\IRV8700 Irv's 8700
\\LARAINE-XPS8500 Laraine's XPS8500
\\READYSHARE readyshare
The command completed successfully.
I don't KNOW how my SMB1 features were set or when, or even why.
Suspect at this point a change happened during one of MS's Updates?
Searching the web I found this page, https://community.spiceworks.com/topic/1995592-disabling-smb1-stops-domain-authentication marked SOLVED.... in it:

Did you try just disabling smbv1 and not actually removing the windowsfeature?
edit: by running this command in an elevated powershell prompt:
Set-SmbServerConfiguration -EnableSMB1Protocol $false
---------------------
Wonder if I did that it would have fixed it as well?
EruvWeathergive this a try... might just work!

Well, there's always Wireshark. At least, that's what I would do to see what's going on the wire.
I've never trusted ReadyShare. Too many reports of corrupted or flaky shares, and performance is basically terrible. Use a real NAS, like Synology or QNAP. Leave the router to do what it does best: route.
Yes, I was thinking of firing Wireshark up. Wasn't too sure what to look for? Since my PC is on a fixed 192.168.1.30 IP Address I guess I could filter for anything going in or out from that address.
Oh, I forgot to mention, it takes a good amount of time when I enter NET VIEW and get back the 1231 error... all other times, even the 53 error come back immediately. All the more reason I think the router isn't responding or possibly W10 TCP/IP is retry and/or timing out and throwing the error. Possible that it got an error but didn't have a message for it so threw the catch-all error?
My USB drive is 2.0 and connected to 2.0 port and has worked 'forever', although in the beginning I did have problems with bad DLNA catalog when I first got the router years ago. Worked with NG Support and eventually got it fixed. Everything worked fine until recently. Of course there could be a possibility of some disk corruption too I guess causing problems? When I get a chance I'll take it to the PC to be sure. I have already used NET USE to assign it a drive letter and ran CHKDSK on it and it was clean???
