Hi,
I have a home network that is a simple workgroup. There is an NAS that has some shared folders on the network, with some media servers, etc. I have a desktop computer attached to the router through cable, some laptops, tablets, cell phone, etc. that are attached to the network wirelessly to the same router. I have shared folders from the NAS so that I can read/write files from/to it. Previously I could access the shared folders on the NAS from both my laptop and my desktop computer without a problem. The shared folder is still defined as network drive on my desktop.
Now, I changed the hard drive on the laptop and installed a new windows on it and I cannot access the shared folders of the NAS from the laptop anymore (desktop is unchanged.) I am 100% sure that the laptop and the NAS are connected through the network (I can ping the NAS from the laptop), but if I type the \\NASname on the windows explorer, I get the following error (same if I type its IP address):
Windows cannot access \\NASname
Check the spelling of the name. Otherwise, there might be a problem with your network. To try to identify and resolve network problems, click Diagnose.
Error code: 0x80004005
Unspecified error
Hitting Diagnose does nothing.
Looking at the Network through the windows explorer, I can't see any of the shared folders or other computers on the network. I tried sharing a folder from the laptop on the network, and I could access it from the desktop. But If I share something from the desktop, I can't see it from the laptop. Similarly, I can't see the NAS shared folders from the laptop.
I searched the web for hours to find a solution and no solution has worked yet.
Disabled Windows defender firewall: No effect. Laptop does not have any other firewall.
Activated SMB 1.0/CIFS File sharing suppport: No effect,
Disabled IP V6: no effect.
I should mention that both desktop and laptop are windwos 10 education, version 1803. Desktop is OS Build 17134.165, Laptop is OS Build 17134.228 .
I'm pretty sure this is not a connectivity issue, as I can ping the NAS from the laptop. How can I make windows show the network shared folders?
