Windows 10: Windows Networking woues again

Hi there
This problem went away for ages -- now it's back again

Can't connect to NAS unless I connect via IP address -- the NAS is pingable both via computer name and ip address and can connect - but I can't see the computer in Network !!!





Windows networking is just (IMO) so unreliable -- sometimes it works other times nothing fixes it !!!!!

Instead of adding all these extra features to the store etc -- PLEASE MS FIX NETWORKING SO IT'S RELIABLE

Cheers

I expected that. It is the same on my device.



I find it curious about the message. I am in an area that often has very poor signal strength and I will get a message that a device cannot be registered but never the other way around.

 

network setting again and again

thanks linley for your replies




even after all the changes, but the problem remains as it is..



any other solutions?? may be some registry-tweak through which i can disable this notification all-together. i hope my GSM operations wont be affected by it (a)







thanks again.

 

I tend to use my NAS's IP when referring to it and mapping it.

 

Hi there

That method works fine --but surely windows explorer should show "connectable computers" !!!!! --also the NAS might have an IP assigned by DHCP so you still need to find the ip address - browse should always work !!!.

I have a Syno DS1812 for years and have always used a static ip-adress for it. Sometimes after an update/grade I need to delete and reset the Windows Credentials for it. That always works well.
