[QUOTE="smarty12345, post: 1258372, member: 116919"] Windows is a funny old thing for networking and seems to have one issue or another in all iterations. The last time I ran into an issue like that was down to NetBIOS naming. EG : windows 7 onwards don't use it. except they do... And usually that's what translates into the issue where you can navigate to shares via IP but the "name" of a share doesn't show up in windows explorer. Add to the equation third party NAS devices running slimmed down Linux distros or manufacturer own brand software etc and things can get more complicated. I would suggest checking the settings on your NAS for anything to do with NetBIOS or "old" network naming conventions and check its on. (and also not too long a name, it don't like that either) Good Luck.. [/QUOTE]
