Need help with finding NAS and relocating Sonore SACD ripper

[marpow]

I'm stressed and exhausted. I purchased new PC and lost a lot of connectivity with software, which is no big deal, it's just reloading through various websites to my Desktop, etc.
I can find the Synology DSM station, all is working fine, but for the life of me I cannot find my Synology NAS on the network on both my PC's, and they are critical needs.
If anyone has links to share that would be great. I have looked at enough tutorials I'm busted.

Also if you have a link to share for the Sonore ripper. I can get the desktop up with the IP address is goofed up.

Also my Ethernet won't hook up on the new PC. Worst thing is I have done on my own before with no issues Windows 10, this new is Windows 11. But my music only PC is Windows 10, nothing changed there, I still can remote access, JRiver all there, just can't play back anything cuz it is disconnected from the NAS.

Worst case I have Geek Squad come to my house.

QNAP NAS uses a qnap pc app to mount the NAS on a PC. I would assume Synology would have something similar, though without ethernet you won't get to the point of mounting the NAS. Perhaps updating the drivers on the Win 11 PC and / or swapping the ethernet cable may help.

Download the Synology Assistant program and install/run it on your new PC and it will find your NAS for you.

By default Windows assumes you're in a Starbucks with your computer and sets the network type to 'public', make sure your network type is set to private. Then on top of that there's possible Windows Firewall and sharing settings that may need to be relaxed/adjusted depending on what other device(s) you're trying to work with on your network and their age, etc. 99% of the functionality in Windows 10 still exists in 11, but it may need to be dragged there kicking and screaming.

Does your NAS have a fixed IP Address? If not it may have changed and that’s why your old PC can’t find it.

Could it be linked to SMB (Server Message Block) file sharing, especially on a new Windows 11 based PC, see

I'm still on W10 but I had an issue some while ago where I suddenly stopped seeing my NAS, and had to make sure I had enabled SMB on my Synology, go to Control Panel on your NAS

Thanks guys, I'll do all that when I get home, at work now. This is how it used to read from the Nas.
I like moving forward but the 11 is a bit tricky.
Also the OneDrive complicates things.
To top it off I turned off my large back up battery just before I left to go to work and it fried itself.
I went to Best Buy and bought a new one.
One of those days.

I also upgraded to Windows 11. It has been nothing short of a cluster FUQ so far.

I have to laugh Gene. The minute I started this the only person I thought of was you.
I said, "me and Gene we run pretty much neck and neck when it comes to the computers, we surprise ourselves how well we do, but when it's bad, it's bad".

100% accurate. I can really suck at times.

Check your NAS IP Address, it’s probably changed. The Synology Assistant will find it at tell you it’s IP.

Then you can log into it from the Assistant and try and change it back to its old value, or do that on your router. But you should now set it to fixed address in your router so this doesn’t happen again.

If you can’t change to NAS IP you’ll have to create a new drive mapping on your old pc to the NAS using the NAS’s new IP Address.

If you don’t already have the Synology “DS Finder” app on your phone, get it!

Wait you’re saying you can get to the Synology web interface but not mount it as a drive in Windows? Sounds like 100% a Windows issue around firewall / local network access / enable Windows file sharing as others have suggested/
