Windows 10: Cannot Map NAS in Windows 10 Pro x64, however the device is accessible from the network

Version 21H1OS Build 19043.1586I have a DNS-321 NAS that has been working all along until the above update was installed. I used my utility software that came with this unit and it still will not map this drive. How can I get it working again? I tried this from another form on here: Set-ItemProperty -Path "HKLM:\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters" SMB2 -Type DWORD -Value 1 –ForceNO GO. Turn Windows feature SMB 1.0 CIFS client and server on- ALl Windows sharing options are enbled. All I get are 3 folders when I click on the icon. I have more than 3 folders on this unit.

Mapping network devices such as NAS drives.

Dear Support,

I am having a massive problem with finding NAS devices on my network so I map them as network drives.

I had not changed any network configurations, but now I do not see my NAS drives in the list under "Network", nor can I map my NAS drives.

My previous mappings are fine and work OK. However, even the drives that were previously mapped that work OK do not appear in the list for the options of mapping network drives now.

I am running Win 10 latest version on an Intel 7th gen CPU, wired Ethernet.

I have checked to see that all my firmware is up to date, including router, NAS, network driver. I have checked that sharing is on, and turned off firewalls, made my network type private. I have searched every forum and technical note, and tried every video
out there, but I am at the end of my tether with this problem.

The problem seemed to occur after updating Windows. Everything was working fine before, completely flawlessly.

I am basically now completely fed up with the situation, and my only option left is to move all my computers to Linux. The problem has basically cut off access to data I need to work and is costing me money and time. I basically just want to cry as there
is no solution anywhere that I find. The Windows update has broken my network.

If anyone has any answers, please let me know.

Thanks for your time in advance.

Kind regards, Ben.

 

Can see NAS but cannot access it or mapped shares after recent update

Perhaps NetBIOS needs enabling ? ^^^^^ ie win10 sets it to Default not Enabled which does not always work

Perhaps NetBIOS needs enabling ?

 

Connecting NAS - mapping of drives

Ok,

If you want, we can do a step by step troubleshooting of your current situation:

If you are able to ping your Machine and it responds.
Code:

Try to view if your NAS appears on the Network List:
Code:

If Your NAS appears on the list, try to view it:
Code:

The available shares will be listed there.

Then Try to List the content of one of the directories:
Code:

This should list the content of the directory,

If all this works Try to map a drive on one share:
Code:

Pls reply with the "response" of the first "encounter" of a non positive output.

This exercise should reveal if you have a Network or Protocol or Cipher or Authentication problem.
