Joined Mar 6, Messages I have same problem with and , but not resolved by unplugging or power off. I second that: NAS was seen yesterday, right before an update took place. No longer seen today. Definitely a Windows 10 problem that MS must fix for good: what's so hard in pinging devices on a subnet, checking for an open SMB port and listing it as available?

Version: Yes, that's right folks, after 25 years of being able to browse our networks Microsoft have decided Workgroup users don't need this functionality any more. This article from Microsoft explains:. They are getting rid of SMB v1. From the linked article:. For home and small business users who use Network Neighborhood to locate Windows computers, you shoud map drives to the computers so that you no longer have to browse for them.

Not even spell checked and suggesting we only do it to access data we could map drives to, indicating a total lack of understanding as to why we need network browsing. Network browsing is an essential tool for doing a visual check of which computing resources are available in a Workgroup. The command "net view" allows us to quickly report which computers are available in the Workgroup and thereby use the information to run system reports and perform various tasks.

Locating and enabling printers becomes far more difficult without Computer Browsing. This does not affect AD users, those businesses which need to or have the luxury of being able to invest in server hardware and software. Users who's data is in the cloud, on the internet have less issue, it may only affect attaching printer resources which can be worked around. Of course all Microsoft staff fit into these groups so the lack of browsing functionality in Workgroups is probably insignificant to them.

So what we need now is either a great little tool to browse our networks that doesn't rely on SMB 1. The service is broken in Windows 10 Creators This is the reason why browsing appears to work sometimes and not others, rebooting PCs forces a Master Browser election, which will change which PC is the Master Browser and can introduce the issue.

To work around the issue involves setting one computer to be the Master Browser. Some people have third party devices on their network they can set to be the Master Browser, all non can browse. To identify which computer is the Master Browser you can run the command. The computer that is the Master Browser is the only one that has the value. To set which computer is the Master Browser you need to make registry modifications on that computer.

Browse to the registry key:. You may need to reboot to activate this. You may even find that a non Microsoft third party device on the network attempts to take over the Master Browser role. I re-iterate that this is just a short term workaround, Computer Browsing for workgroups is history for Windows If you know of any great tools for browsing Workgroups that don't rely on the older protocols I'd be happy to hear from you.

I too have recently been having this problem. I have a Synology NAS and it has been working fine. My desktop is using Windows 7 and my laptop Windows I have been doing extensive Googling and found a solution that I have verified works with three laptops in our house that are using Windows Hi Steve, ya lost me there. At first you're saying that this is a fix for the Windows 10 laptops in your house. But then you say this works "fine on Windows 7" but not Windows I'm working on the problem in Windows Unfortunately, this change doesn't seem to have helped me.

Perhaps it only works if you're still running Win7? I think he's saying that Windows 7 works ok when set to use settings from the DHCP server on his router but Windows 10 doesn't. Not sure if you meant this as a Win 7 or Win 10 fix, in any event it did not correct my identical situation with W10, still cannot see my NAS. Contacted Microsoft support by chat. They advised a bug in v causes the 2 Function Discovery services see services. They changed it to Automatic.

That fixed the problem for a week or so then it returned, even though the services are starting correctly. I have a similar problem. The most annoying thing is that sometimes all workstations show up and sometimes they don't.

Mapped drives work fine. My problem is that my backup software Genie9. If it does not see the computer, it does not back it up. FreeNAS, an operating system that allows most hardware to work as a network-attached storage device. The software boasts several useful features. The main ones are file sharing, data protection, and encryption. Users can utilize it with every major operating system, providing the utmost flexibility.

There are too many to mention here. FreeNAS allows management through a web interface. This simplifies even the most difficult of administration tasks. You will find it very useful, and intuitive. A simple set-up wizard makes the installation, and configuration process easy. Data protection is another feature that is second to none.

Your data could not be safer than when using FreeNAS. The program can also ensure data integrity through various checks.. This is the only open source program with this capability, setting it apart from the others. You can take snapshots of the entire filesystem as often as needed.
