Locked-out of fvdw after long absence

[fvdw]

Or try this if smb1 is active and workgroup is set correctly

Code: Select all

\\192.168.1.xyz

Replace xyz with numbers to match with the ip address of your nas.

The network name fvdwsl-base can take a while appear on your PC, it is dependent on how windows retrieves the network names of devices in the LAN. Sometimes a reboot of the pc while nas is up an running may help to get the network name of the nas visible on windows pc. It is not a malfunction if the nas but a problem from windows.

Did you set the same workgroup on you nas and laptop ?

Yes

As you use windows10, maybe there is an issue with smb1

I had already previously turned on SMB 1.0 File Sharing Support but just to be sure I checked. It turned out that Windows had deactivated it again, so I turned it back on.

As a result I can now access fvdwsl-base in Windows Explorer.

I did a test re-boot to see if the same behaviour was repeated but it wasn't, so let's hope it won't be from now on.

EDIT

@ fvdw

I'd posted this before I saw your last post.
