    Trouble connecting to Synology DS218J NAS


    Hi,

    I have a Synology DS218J on SMB. I have been able to access it via Windows Explorer with \\hostname just fine, but I just tried today and it no longer works. I get the following error message when I try to access a folder within the NAS

    I get the following error message when I try to access the NAS hostname/IP address directly

    The Synology web portal works fine. I'm able to access it on my web browser. I'm also able to ping it just fine. I'm also able to access it on my Android device using the DS file app. However, I can't access it via Windows Explorer either via \\hostname or \\ipaddress.

    What's wrong?

    :)

  2. Connecting Windows to a NAS

    I recently bought a 10G card for my Synology NAS. Windows doesn't see it and the NAS has no "add new device" command. Of course, the NIC came with drivers, but where to install them?

    Anyone?

    PS: please don't tell me to look in the list of devices accepted by my Synology NAS, their price is prohibitive.

  3. Help me choose an NAS.

    This is what you get if you go for the cheapest model from Thecus that the shop you linked to sell - Thecus N2310 SOHO / Home NAS Server Reviewed - SmallNetBuilder

    The Synology DS216se I wouldn't touch, that's too basic, as it only has 256MB of RAM.

    Neither model is great and both are quite old and may or may not be supported for too long, especially the Thecus one, as it's a 2013 model.

    Try to get a recent model, regardless of the manufacturer.

    See if you can get the Thecus 2350 which is their current model and which should be priced similarly - Thecus N2350 Home/SOHO NAS Reviewed - SmallNetBuilder

    For Synology, have a look at the DS218j or DS218play - https://www.smallnetbuilder.com/nas...nology-ds218j-ds218play-diskstations-reviewed

  4. Trouble connecting to Synology DS218J NAS

    Getting access to my data on Synology NAS

    Hi, I have a problem with my Synology DS211j – please any help would be appreciated:
    I bought the Synology NAS about a year ago but after setting-up the NAS I had a stroke :-(.
    I am now trying to re-lean my NASs but am struggling with my Synology:
    I can see the NAS has two disk – a 1Gb disk “Not installed”, and a 2Gb disk “Installed”. As I think I should have some important data, I need to work out what I have on the 2Gb disk or possible even on the 1 Gb disk?
    So the 2Gb disk says it is installed but I don’t know how to get to the data from the disk (and I’m trying to be careful so that I don’t lose the data)?
    ny advise on the steps on get ting access to the date would be really appreciated!
