Windows 10: Cant See existing NAS from new W11 PC

I have connected a new Windows 11 PC to my home network, on which I have a NAS, on which I have stored all my files from the old PC. Unfortunately, I cannot see the NAS from the new PC. the old PC is still on the network and the NAS is working for that PC.Based on answers to similar questions, I have enabled network discovery and disabled my PIN temporarily.

W11 PC unable to see and connect to home NAS and other PC's

I have a brand new W11 PC and cannot browse my home network, e.g. my NAS (network attached storage server) I have other W10 PC's and don't have an issue with them seeing the other PC's/server on my home network. This is a simple home network without a domain server. The new PC is running W11 Pro, version 21H2.
