Buffalo Forums

Hi,

So thanks to this forum I am now back into my Linkstation. But cant see it on my PC Situation is this.

- I can access it on my phone, or any other computer (including other windows 10 computers)
- I can see it on my network (although it does come and go in a weird sort of a random way)
- If I try to access it says it can't find it and to check my spelling (my spelling is excellent)
- Linkstation firmware is up to date and running SMBv2

I have:
- Checked the Netbios radio button
- Enabled SMB and ticked the boxes (although I only see SMBv1 there)
- Checked and enabled SMB2 in the powershell(admin)
- Allowed SMB through the firewall (which is windows defender)
- Watched about 50  YouTube videos telling me to do the above
- Done all the above in all combinations with a variety of restarting and swearing

Check "insecure guest accounts" https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/help/4046019

Verify that Windows credential manager has the correct user details for the NAS stored

If this is an older LinkStation it may only support SMBv1, which means you'll need to enable that in Windows.
