Need help with finding NAS and relocating Sonore SACD ripper

[mandrix]

Markie's struggles inspired me today to make some changes.
On the two audio room pc's I set the same admin username and the same passwords at the suggestion of a friend.

Though neither shows as on the network to the other, I can now map any of the (shared) drives between devices.

To address @DuncanS & @marpow about SMB 1 on Win11, yes it's under Programs & Features/Turn Windows features on or off.

I’ve mentioned this here:

The Synology Assistant gives you the IP Address of your NAS.

On your PCs you must change the IP address of your mapped NAS drives to use that IP Address of your NAS.

I use static IP's (from within Windows) on all devices, even my primary disc spinner and the AVR. No guessing, no DHCP changing stuff.

This arrived today Amazon Basics Aluminum USB-C to RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter, Fast Network, Grey, 2.07 x 0.81 x 0.6 inches
Offers a better ethernet connection with the new PC.
Now I have a couple hours, lets see if I can get this.
From Synology Assistant I have the IP address which is different than my old connection IP address.

Static/Fixed IPs is highly recommended/advised for any devices you need to access regularly over your network. My NASs, media players and desktop PCs are all static/fixed. Using DHCP cause this issue and other users have had same problems (@GOS)

Curious that the built in Ethernet on the new machine doesn't work well. But it happens. Sometimes it's just drivers that need updating.

Looked into activating SMB, but all says has security vulnerability issues

Looking into IP address.
The Synology assistant shows one IP address.
But my Synology DSM shows a LAN with a different IP address. I tried the assistant version and no luck.
Now going to try the LAN version.

I think the SMB 1 security thing is sort of overblown. Now if you're sharing your drives beyond your personal LAN then there's that.
Older stuff like Oppo's were made in the SMB 1 era. I mean you can still use NFS though.

 

[marpow]

No luck today, back tomorrow, tiny wins.
I need a experienced remote access person.
SMB's NFS, static fixed, got some learning to do.

If you use NFS you need to allow your PC to access each shared drive on your NAS by the PC’s IP address.

The easiest way to get your old PC connected to your NAS is to set the NAS’s IP back to its original address.
