Windows 10: NAS unreachable

Please share a screen cap of this?

Cheers

 

Since adding credentials have you disabled firewall for testing purposes?

M4v3r1ck - when using a NAS does the OP have to do anything in the sharing section. It is likely set to Homegroup

 

Here is the screenshot showing the Windows File Service : Imgur: The most awesome images on the Internet
Here is the one about credential : Imgur: The most awesome images on the Internet

I didn't try to turn the firewall off after add the credentials, I'll test and tell you if it's works

 

Don't really know this NAS and take a quick look at it. Think you have to install PC client to access it. Terra-master download site...

 

Hi there

Reading the Spec (although my French isn't 100% good) you need to install some sort of CLIENT on your Windows machine to access this server.

If it were me I'd ditch the OS on the NAS if possible and install a decent Linux Distro such as CENTOS / SUSE / UBUNTU / Linux MINT etc.

Then you can have something like SAMBA up and running (and it usually works straight out of the box).

However if you can't / don't want to install a new OS or change the existing one then try the following :

If you have the IP address of your NAS (on the command console even with that OS I imagine there's some comand like ifconfig which will give you the IP address. See if you can ping it from windows, and then see if you can ping TO your windows computer.

If PING works then the network part will be OK -- it's then just a matter of configuration.

As a previous poster recommends -- look for client software on the manufacturers site.

I still think using Linux is the easiest and best way of running any sort of NAS

Here I have 2 Linux servers both perfectly accessible by windows (in this case 2 computers) with ZERO problems.

Thanks guys for all additional troubleshooting info's, it's clear to me you've got so much in-the-box knownledge. I'll follow this thread with great interest!

Yes I know this but this soft is useless :/

Wow, thanks for your complet answer. I actually thought of switching OS, like Open Media Vault ? (or do you recommend me one in particular ?). The good things is that I can connect a VGA screen to the NAS directly, with a USB mouse and keyboard.

For the PING, I tried last day to ping my NAS from my WIndows computer, and it's ping :/

 

Check if you are on the same subnet as NAS.

 

How could I check ?

 

Your subnet is in Network details. For NAS - use that crappy software for NAS, just to check settings *Wink

 

Hi there

I use CENTOS 7 -- it's the free community version of the really robust and hugely used Red Hat Enterprise system. While it's not always leading edge it is 100% stable and reliable so for something like a NAS server it's perfect -- the only time I re-boot is if I'm replacing defective hardware (even then HDD's can be Hot swappable on some systems) or after a rare kernel update.

I'd try installing in a VM first to get some practice.

Other distros are good too - but I've had very good experience with CENTOS and everything works. Usually FIRST TIME too.
Install with a GUI to get a bit of practice.

Download from Index of /rolling/7/isos/x86_64

Choose the DVD Centos-7-x86_64-DVD.ISO date 27-03-01 4.0GB

You can then create a bootable USB - use RUFUS - but if running in a Virtual Machine with VMWARE save ISO to HDD and in the VM config set the VM to boot from the iso and carry through the install process.

People might prefer different distros but I've used Centos and found it 100% stable so I'm sticking with it.

I really don't like some of those "Mickey Mouse" OS/es that come with "purpose built" NAS boxes -- with a decent Linux system it's infinitely more flexible.

BTW also on those NAS boxes -- switch off Hardware RAID if using Linux as the software RAID (MDADM) is so much better and more configurable too. Usually cheap hardware RAID controllers (consumer grade) are HIDEOUS !!!!!.

Thanks a lot for your answer. I'll take a look at this OS and why not try it under a VM *Smile

The OS of Terra Master is a real crap.. After a lot of research I found a possible problem : the version of Samba using by the NAS. And I can't modify it under TOS

 

Hi there

@nathan30

Try under a VM first -- really easy to do - use VMware player or vbox - I'd recommend VMware as it seems to work straight out of the box.
Then in your Linux VM switch off firewalls, ensure package ntfs-3g is installed(allows Linux Read / Write access to NTFS files) together with SAMBA and then see if your Windows Host can access the file shares from the Linux VM.

Any probs please post again - it's easy to set up so I can guide through process without in any way touching Windows stuff so your Windows boot won't be affected in any way.

Perhaps you should follow the advice I saw on Belgian Railways recently when they had a strike -- on the board outside Brussel centraal - Bruxelles -central they had a message which I had to laugh at ---- Essayer demain !!!!

I work a lot with VM Linux at works so it's okay for this part *Wink But thanks a lot for your kindness
And yes, in computer science this kind of advice is really good ahah *Biggrin

 

Did you mean this one:
CentOS-7-x86_64-DVD-1702-01.iso 2017-03-01 13:09 4.0G
Or this one:
CentOS-7-x86_64-DVD.iso 2017-03-01 13:09 4.0G
