August 24, 20187 yr Community Expert It might be worth opening up a command prompt on the Windows system and try to ‘ping’ the IP address of the unRAID server. If that does not work then you know there is some sort of issue blocking network communication between the two machines. Quite what it might be I have no idea as I have a Virgin Media Hub 3 acting in router mode and there is no such issue. Have you tried something simple like moving the cables to different ports on the Hub 3? It should not make any difference, but who knows. Another idea is that It might also be worth checking there is no setting in Windows Defender that is blocking the PC from accessing other machines on the same LAN.

August 24, 20187 yr Community Expert Well that proves there is a working connection at the network level and the router is working fine, so there must be something blocking things at the software level. Since it is only this PC exhibiting problems it has to be something on the PC rather than at the unRAID end. No idea what it could be though?
August 24, 20187 yr Community Expert I had a look at your diagnostics file. First thing is that the name of your server is DeathStar not "Tower". "Tower" is the default name but is user setable. (You might well be aware of this but , in the slight chance, that you may not be, I wanted to point that out.) There appears that the IP address is 192.168.0.30 as your ping test has shown. One thing that I might suggest is that your revisit this screen: and check the box SMB 1.0/CFIS Client and see if that effects anything. One quick thing. Is this Win10 a virtual computer running on your server or do you have a free-standing computer that you are using?

August 20, 20196 yr Community Expert 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
