Windows 10: Access to NAS from laptop

Hello,

I recently bought a NAS (Helios4) running on openmediavault.


I installed the OS in the NAS, I then followed all the procedures to install openmediavault but I do not manage to see the NAS among my networks.


I can enter the NAS from my pc by typing its IP and make the necessary modifications

I did the ping and it is 2ms

I checked the subnetwork for both PC and NAS and they are both on 255.255.255.0

I checked my router and the SMB is active

I checked on control panel that the SMB 1.0 is active and running as a client an dit is

I checked on services.msc that the publication of resources is active and it is
Firewall does not interfere and neither antivirus does


Basically I ran out of ideas....


Could anyone help me out?


Regards


Stefano

Network attached storage (NAS)

OKAY... I get the laptop thru all the updates by using the troubleshooter. Now I still cannot see my NAS in file explorer BUT there is one file listed in quick access that is on the NAS. If I open file location I can see everything on the NAS (WOOHOO)
but if I close file explorer and reopen it the NAS does not appear(?).

I am sure there is a small tweak that needs to be made but at least if I don't loose the quick access I will be able to access my files.

One step forward!!!!

Thanks,

Len

p.s. still working on the desktop

Authorization error when mapping NAS drive from new Windows 10 laptop

Hi!

Not so tech-savvy user here, with problems establishing a mapped connection from my Windows 10 laptop to my Buffalo LinkStation NAS drive.

The error message I get: "The mapped network drive could not be created because the following error has occurred:
The account is not authorized to log in from this station."

Notes:

• I CANNOT connect/map it from my Windows 10 work laptop (probably has plenty of additional workplace-installed security stuff, and access restrictions that I can't override)
  • It doesn't work through the "NAS Navigator" that I downloaded - it sees the drive, but won't let me explore it.
    
  • It doesn't work when mapping through File Explorer
    • I am never asked for a username/password
  • I AM able to access the NAS settings by accessing it via its static IP address
  • I CANNOT even access it from the cloud via WebAccess, which works on my phones, on my friends' computers, etc.
• I CAN connect/map it from my other laptops (including my previous Windows 7 work laptop, with probably the same security stuff and access restrictions, and also my own personal Windows Vista machine)
  • I do not need to connect with a username/password

What I've tried:

• Rebooting the NAS
• Rebooting the laptop
• Disabling Windows Firewall on the laptop
  
• Enabling SMB on the NAS and the laptop
• Enabling SMB2 on the NAS and the laptop and rebooting
• Creating a a DWORD value called 'AllowInsecureGuestAuth' in HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanWorkstation\Parameters and setting the value to 1.
  
  see here - note, I really probably shouldn't be playing with registry values, being that I don't know what I'm doing!
• I think I tried a few other things... can't remember them all.

Anyone wanna lend a hand in solving this mystery?
