Thanks.

It is still a bit flaky even with all devices in the same case.  There seems to be an issue with numerals as we in names as well

• Right-click on This PC on Desktop or in File Explorer
• Click Properties
• In "Computer Name, Domain and Workgroup" area click "Change Settings"
• In "To rename this computer...or workgroup, click change" section, Click "Change"
  
• Change Computer name on next screen
• Click OK
• Reboot PC

did you try uninstall adapter

then try

HAD TO UNINSTALL AND INSTALL CLIENT FOR MICROSOFT NETWORKS AND FILE AND PRINT SHARING FOR MICROSOFT NETWORKS

 NETWORK AND SHARING>CHANGE ADAPTER SETTINGS>RIGHT CLICK ADAPTER>CHOOSE PROPERTIES>UNINSTALL CLIENT FOR MICROSOFT NETWORKS

NETWORK AND SHARING>CHANGE ADAPTER SETTINGS>RIGHT CLICK ADAPTER>CHOOSE PROPERTIES>UNINSTALL FILE AND PRINT SHARING FOR MICROSOFT NETWORKS

NETWORK AND SHARING>CHANGE ADAPTER SETTINGS>RIGHT CLICK ADAPTER>CHOOSE PROPERTIES>INTERNET PROTOCOL VERSION 4>INSTALL>CLIENT>INSTALL CLIENT FOR MICROSOFT NETWORKS

NETWORK AND SHARING>CHANGE ADAPTER SETTINGS>RIGHT CLICK ADAPTER>CHOOSE PROPERTIES>INTERNET PROTOCOL VERSION 4>INSTALL>SERVICE>INSTALL FILE AND PRINT SHARING FOR MICROSOFT NETWORKS

SHUTDOWN

you can also try:

RUN>CMD (AS ADMIN)>NET VIEW /ALL

RUN>CMD (AS ADMIN)>NBTSTAT -r

RUN>CMD (AS ADMIN)>NBTSTAT -n

RUN>CMD (AS ADMIN)>NBTSTAT -c

RUN>CMD (AS ADMIN)>NBTSTAT -s

RUN>CMD (AS ADMIN)>NBTSTAT -S

RUN>CMD (AS ADMIN)>NBTSTAT -RR

RUN>CMD (AS ADMIN)>NBTSTAT -R

RUN>CMD (AS ADMIN)>NBTSTAT -A (ip address)

RUN>CMD (AS ADMIN)>net use

RUN>CMD (AS ADMIN)>net use (\\share name)

and:

problem with NAS' (in this case Synology) and SMB 3.11.
This maybe the correct solution.

reboot

you may have to do this on all computers, and reset router, shut down all computers and apply fix one at a time

Try the following. On every computer in the workgroup go to:

Settings->Network & Internet->Ethernet->Change Advanced Sharing Options

and check

Use User Accounts and passwords to connect to other computers

That worked for me.

Of course, read the warning above that checkbox.

Finally found the fix. Works on two machines so far.
Problem was Linux box is not visible.

Solution: On Linux box limit samba to SMB1. Add the following line to smb.conf under

[global]

max protocol = SMB1

Restart samba on Linux.

On Windows 10 run:

sc.exe config lanmanworkstation depend= bowser/mrxsmb10/nsi
sc.exe config mrxsmb20 start= disabled

I made it into a batch file and run as administrator.

restart windows computer and the linux box appears.

As I said it works on two so far will now run it on my other Win 10 machines. The Windows 7 PC's don't have the problem.

Just modifying the registry is not sufficient you must limit the protocol to smb1

Update:

Fixed all 4 Window 10 machines including insider preview one.

Machine names and case seem irrelevant. I use HOME-NET for workgroup.

Cheers,

Hans

Congratulations HansAWiggers!

You did it!

Now I can see other PC, laptop and NAT storage device at my local network.

Microsoft should pay you for that!
