jakebake Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Hey everyone! I tried searching for this but can't seem to find the answer. Unraid os 6 sometimes will show up in the network folder on Windows 10 but the past day it will not show up. It has done this before in the past with older version and I just upgrading it about 2 days ago to os 6. What is the problem? Is there anyway to fix this? I am on version 6.1.6 Thanks Quote Link to comment
anime513 Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Just confirming that I have the exact same issue. I have about 6 computers on my network, two of which use Windows 10. The Windows 10 machines were fine until the recent update. Now unRAID is not visible to the network. If I try //TOWER, I will get access occasionally (sometimes an error, sometimes a password is needed, or it just simply connects). Quote Link to comment
TUMS Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Yeah when I was running it I had to pin it to quick access to get it to work consistently. I have since gone back to win 7.... 10 is a mess IMO. Quote Link to comment

If I try //TOWER, I will get access occasionally (sometimes an error, sometimes a password is needed, or it just simply connects). This is my experience as well. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. I've done all the tricks: cleared generic certs, turned off SMB2&3, edited the registry for insecureauth, and none of them work consistently. This isn't a Win10 issue, this is an unRAID issue. My Win10 boxes all worked flawlessly with my Qnap NAS. Edit: the thing that seems to help the most -- making it most reliable -- is turning off SMB2&3 on the Win10 boxes.

Until I pin it to quick access, then everything is fine. Quote Link to comment
jakebake Posted January 2, 2016 Author Share Posted January 2, 2016 Thanks guys, but I tried doing that regedit fix and it did not work I'll try pinning it to quick access if it ever shows up again... Quote Link to comment
CHBMB Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 I spent a bit of time on this, and it's now working. Not sure exactly what it was that solved it. But I did notice that my LAN appeared to have two master browsers?! I found the LAN Scanner Tool program useful to work things out. I now have my Unraid box as the master browser and it seems to be working well. Quote Link to comment

You can make it show up by typing \\YOURNASNAMEHERE\ in Windows Explorer, then add it to quick access. 1 Quote Link to comment

GFOviedo Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 I'm going back to Win 7 as well. Too many issues with Win 10 with my HTPC and main PC. I lose connection with my server every time I access it for the first time. I've got to wait for a few minutes, and it comes back again. I've already changed network permissions.

gundamguy Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 I had this problem. The fix that Adam64 fixed it... IMO the Registry Fix is outdated and based on an earlier issue that was fixed by Microsoft months ago. Your best bet is to try the fix that Adam64 posted first Edit: the thing that seems to help the most -- making it most reliable -- is turning off SMB2&3 on the Win10 boxes. Instructions here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2696547 before messing with the registery. In fact these two fixes might break it... so you might want to unfix the registry if you tried that (and it didn't work) before attempting this other fix. Also this isn't an issue exlusive to Unraid, it's an issue with the version of SAMBA that is currently distributed with unRAID that causes incompatability issues with Windows 10. It's possible that when we get another unRAID update it'll include a updated version of SAMBA (I think one exists) that fixes this problem without having to make changes on windows machines.

H2O_King89 Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 I know this old but is anyone else having this issue? I have two unRAID servers on my network and none show up network fold but can get to them by \\domain Don't want to map them as a drive due to security Quote Link to comment
Frank1940 Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Have you made one of your unRAID servers the Local Master? This could resolve your issue entirely-- Particularly if your server is on 24-7. (SMB is is part with-craft and smoke-and-mirrors. Sometimes it takes of bit of both to get it work correctly!) Have you read through this thread? https://forums.lime-technology.com/topic/53172-windows-issues-with-unraid/ Be sure that you look carefully at the sections where you can determine exactly what computers are a part of your SMB network from the computers that are having the issue. Also double check that all SMB resource references have the same name and that you use CAPITAL letters when you name them. Capitalization is a big deal when one in dealing with combined Windows and Linux/UNIX OS operations because Windows ignores it and Linux/Unix honors it. Thus, Test.txt and test.txt are the same file to Windows and two different files to Linux/UNIX. How SMB resolves this issue is a real headache! Quote Link to comment
AMDKilla Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 Sorry to drag up an old thread, but if any of you are running PiHole, it will screw with your computer's ability to resolve local names if PiHole isn't running your DHCP (If PiHole isn't in charge of DHCP, it won't be able to resolve local names, and any device that uses PiHole for DNS will not be able to resolve local names). It can't be DNS, it's never DNS... It was DNS... Quote Link to comment
Arbadacarba Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Just a quick note that there is anther solution to this problem without enabling SMB1. Microsoft has replaced SMB with "Function Discovery" (in a manner of speaking) and there is a daemon / script that enables that for Linux. I have "Instructions" in the thread here: forums.unraid.net/topic/82765-solved-windows-network-working-with-no-smb1/ Kevin Quote Link to comment
Diddmaster Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 Sooo I'm been reading all that I found on this on here for 4 hours an tried to implement all of this I did the regedit hack did not work tried the script did not get it to work I'm to much of a noob and the problem is no server in network folder my previously mounted network drives all work in win 10 but i cant access my unmounted shares (no server in network) worked fine a few days ago I'm lost don't know what to do help pleas Yeeeeeee I'm a totally new (stupid) noob my Linux experience 2 weeks of totally working unraid Quote Link to comment
Frank1940 Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 Read the first few pages of this thread. Be sure that you Unraid server is the Local Master. Be sure that the Workgoup names match on the server and on the Windows client. https://forums.unraid.net/topic/89452-windows-issues-with-unraid/ You can also try to access the server with the IP address by entering it in address bar of Windows Explorer as \\192.168.1.252 Also make sure that these are turned on: and this: 1 Quote Link to comment

Thanks! That worked like a charm after spending some time with other settings. It did also prompt me for a login - which I used my Windows10 user account details (hosted on my unraid) and it worked.
