Can't Access NAS from Windows Explorer

I don't know that I can fix your issue but it is familiar to me! Maybe I can add some more enquiry triggers!

At one time in the win 10 past I had that 70035 error and it was caused by having one comp with a SMB version set in the registry (Lanman entry) that was incompatible with the default. So, the client went out on the LAN asking the server for its shares but the server didn't respond because of different SMB versions. The client, not getting a response, then reported the path not found error. Deleting the forced SMB 2 entry fixed the problem.

Then, later, Netbios was the problem and there are many long threads on that issue! However, that should not be a problem now.

Out of curiosity, set File Explorer to Details view then rt click a column header and tick the Discovery Method box. Now you can see what win 10 uses to find the devices.

On mine, computers are found with WSD, Media devices with SSDP, and Linux based items, like my NAS box and networked printer, are found with NetBIOS.

Very frustrating for you, especially when we thought these silly problems were no longer there.

As I said, I can't fix it for you, but no one else has either! Maybe a couple of points of interest, though.

Good luck and interested in your progress (if any!).

thanks @linw .... interesting mine are seen differently than yours but I can't explain it....... or why my TV is seen 3-4 times?
edit: after about 5 mins and a refresh of the view the Nas (DS109j) is seen under computer and Netbios too.

Looks like things have changed with the discovery methods.

Here, the Anniversary Update comps show up as NetBIOS, like the Linux based devices, but the Insider comp shows WSD.

Mmmm.

Kbird, what version of win 10 is on the SURFACEKB?

Interesting info. But, like you say, as long as it works!
@csteinhaus Anything new happened for you?

What version of 10 are you on CS ? some had issues with SMB protocols but it was fixed by disabling SMB temporarily.

@linw , knows more about that stuff than me though... I am sure , unless it has comeback in recent builds?

Windows 10 Version 1511 and SMB3 - Synology Forum

Hello, Sorry I've been away, I've had some other problems to solve.

My Windows 10 version is 1511 (OS Build 10586.545)

The only machine that is able to access the 2 NAS shares is the Windows Server 2012R2 Active Directory server.

Disabling and re-enabling SMB1 and SMB2 did not allow me to access the servers.

I noticed that the name of the devices on the devices are in all caps, but when they join the domain, the name is in lower case on the AD server. I am not able to change the name of the NAS in AD. I have tried leaving the domain, deleting the entry form AD and rejoining the domain but the name remains in lower case.

When I display the discovery method in Windows Explorer on Win10, only 1 NAS is discvered with NetBIOS, but when I double click on it I get the 0x80070035 errror.

Any other thoughts as to why the AD can access the NAS shares but none of the other PCs or Servers can?

There are updates today to 1511.589 and 1607 .187 (AU) perhaps something will change?

this is my list of things to check I posted for Walter over on this thread....

Hello, I installed the latest batch of windows updates last night on my AD server and now it is unable to access the NAS. I have reached out to the vendors of the NAS drives to see if there is a update to the SMB they are using to match changes Microsoft has made to the SMB. It looks like both of these NAS vendors are using SMB version 1.

Hi @all,

I got the same problem out of a sudden. Can't access (some) network shares like "\\Server\Folder".

Windows 10 Explorer gives me the errors 0x80070035 and/or 0x80004005, another file manager says it's "Error 53".

I was wondering whether this possibly can be fixed by installing Build 14963?

Hi there

Try this first

1) On Windows Machine - disable / uncheck box allowing Homegroup to handle connections and check use password and username (it's in the network settings). Re-boot the windows machine to make the change effective.

2) Ensure on your NAS a service like samba is started (usually 2 daemons -smb and nmb - or might be called smbd / nmbd depending on the OS your NAS is running). Anyway ensure the file sharing / networking sharing service is started and working properly.

3) on your Windows machine from the windows button type run - and in the popup type \\nasservername

If that doesn't work try \\ipaddress. You can get Ipaddress on te NAS if it's running any variant of Linux by typing in on its console ifconfig. Failing that try getting the address from your router --most routers will have a LAN map showing connected devices.

For example here's mine



Click on any of the attached devices and by selecting INFO I get the IP address.
