Problem with NET VIEW, W10, R7000, most recent firmware (including V1.0.9.20)

I really don't know when it started? I could always see the Router in NEW VIEW or using my Windows Explorer replacement Explorer++? Now I can't always do that?   When I run NET VIEW this is the res...

    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!!!

     

    C:\>net view
    Server Name            Remark
    ---------------------------------------------
    \\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:

    Powershell
    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.

TheEther@, I am totally shocked?

 

I rebooted the router and of course NET VIEW worked:

 

C:\>net view
Server Name            Remark
------------------------------------
\\IRV8700              Irv's 8700
\\READYSHARE           readyshare
The command completed successfully.

 

So I started WIRESHARK. Same filter and this time I got hardly any lines (see capture attached). It was so fast I did it twice and all the traffic is shown in the capture.

 

I think I can 'fool' the s/w here by renaming the original WireShark capture extension from  .pcapng to .jpg and then if you can d/l it change it back and view it? It seems when I RMB on a link and try to open it in a NEW TAB I get a chance to save it to disk or open it in a viewer (maybe the way my Firefox is setup though). If you can do this, the changing of extension should work.
