  1. Cannot Access NAS-server after Win10 update


    I recently bought a laptop, and now it cannot access my Synology DSM213 in File Explorer. The NAS showed up on the network on my laptop, but not in File Explorer, and when trying to open it, it would have me access it through a web browser. I want it treated like a drive/folder.

    I can access the NAS just fine on my other Win10-pc's which I've blocked updates for a long time, but this laptop I bought came pre-installed with the 1709-version and I've read that SMB has been turned off since 1709 and is THE cause for other people's trouble not being able to access network drives.

    I already tried re-enabling SMB in Windows Features, but the SMB is not even on the list! I have no way of enabling SMB.

    I've read that Microsoft turned off SMB in all new versions of Win10, because it is "unsafe", but how am I then supposed to access my NAS-shared folder?

    I cannot even access it by IP in File Explorer (ie. \\192.168.1.X etc.)

    Then I tried un-installing the pre-installed McAfee-antivirus/firewall, to see if this fixed the issue. It didn't.
    I removed it through Add/Remove programs the official way, and since then I cannot even enable Network Discovery. When I go to the network settings, enable Network Discovery and save the settings, it immediately rewinds to network file sharing being disabled.

    How do I fix both issues?

    :)

    Accessing Windows FROM NAS servers -- Windows latest update


    Hi there
    can anybody suggest what needs to be done to access windows files FROM Nas servers (running SAMBA). The latest version of windows seems to have broken connections -- now just get message timeout on server when trying to access Windows shares FROM a NAS server.

    No problem with windows accessing the NAS server shares (i.e FROM windows TO Nas problem is NAS TO WINDOWS). Computer name is seen in the network map and ping is OK.

    people have suggested it's because Windows has depreciated the way it handles SMB connected files (or CIF).

    Is there ANYWAY to make this working again.

    The crazy thing is that ANDROID devices seem to have no problem -- for example I have some music files on Windows which I access from a Samsung S8 phone via a program called SambaPlayer (VLC for android also works) and play via blue tooth to a small Bose mini 10 speaker.

    I need the server to be able to handle Windows files as I run the backups from the server . Even if I run the backups locally on Windows via macrium I'd like the server to automatically upload these files to the server.
    Before the last update Windows had no problems -- seems every update or so breaks windows networking.

    I don't use logon domains, profiles etc etc --simple HOME network with a few Windows laptops etc.

    Cheers

    Accessing Windows FROM NAS servers -- Windows latest update


    Have you tried enabling this? The text says "allow insecure ie non Windows" connections is on by default but I have seen claims the default is now off ie text is out of date

    Cannot Access NAS-server after Win10 update

    NAS server not visible


    We have a NAS server on the network. One of our laptops recently got destroyed by water damage and had to be replaced. The new laptop is Win 10, and the NAS server is not visible on the network. On the old, now water-damaged laptop (Win 7), the NAS server had a desktop shortcut, so even if it wasn't visible on the network, the files could still be accessed.

    How can I either force the computer to recognize the NAS server, or create a desktop icon that is linked to it without it being visible in the network listing?

    Thanks.
