I have 6 computers on a network. 4 run Windows 7 and have no issues. 2 run Windows 10 Home.
They have all been sharing a public folder on the NAS since Feb. 15 with no problem. Over the
weekend the 2 Win10 units stopped linking. All computers run the same anti-virus which has no firewall and Windows Firewall.
I have done everything over the past 30 hours to one or both. Ran update repair/ troubleshooter which worked on the one unit until I did a reboot, reset the network completely (modem,router,NAS), reset the IP/TCP stack, flushed etc the dns, upgraded the one that was on 1607 to 1703 Creator OS, nothing has worked more than a few minutes or until a reboot.
I can ping and tracert the IP of the NAS, Windows sees the device. It just gives the error:
your computer appears to be correctly configured, but the device or resource (NAS) is not responding...
Anyone have suggestions on what to try? It will not allow me to map the drive but that shouldn't even be needed.
So far only stock answers from Microsoft.
BTW, it doesn't matter if I have the 2 laptops on the WIFI which is what they usually use or are hard wired.
Antivirus and firewall turned off does nothing either. I have to be missing a fix. Every tech I know just scratches their head.
