Post by: rrvi.photovan on August 03, 2018, 03:58:43 PM

I have an LS420DF firmware version 1.84 with new computer using Win 10 and problems in connecting - error message indicates it needs SMBv2 and MS WIndows does NOT recommend refreshing with SMBv1 checked.

I do not know how to handle.

The LS420 should support SMB v2. Check the SMB settings in the user interface and make sure version 2 is enabled.

Thanks for responding - and thanks for patience...

When I map to the LS420 the error message i get is that the device only supports SMB1. Not sure where I find the "user interface" - through setting on the buffalo as administrator?
If I open windows features I could check SMB1 or SIB direct - neither checked. (no SMB2 to check)

should have added - in Buffalo settings - SMB is enabled - but I do not see any version indicated...

SMB Direct is part of SMB3

thanks.. great information. The questions still remain -
1) What does the LS420DF10 support - only SMB1 ?
2) do I enable SMB1 on my computer despite WIndows warning not to do that?
3) is there an alternative?
THis did work well on old computer with windows 10 upgrade - just not this new version which is windows 10 pro..

How to do this...
1 see how to go to refresh windows and can check either SMB1 or SMB direct. I do not see how to enable SMB2.
THANK YOU for any help

if you enable SMB direct
you will enable SMB3
this is the successor of smb2

Go to advances settings - file server - SMB - to the right hand side is a black arrow - click it - edit - enable smb2 - save the setting.

Reboot the PC.

Done.

Hi, I have Win 10 pro and I tried to connect my network drive with linkstation LS421. When I tried to map it via Window explorer, Windows tells me I have to use SMBv2.

Does anyone know if LS421 support SMBv2 ? When can I go in Win 10 to verify this setting ?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
