Accessing Synology NAS via numeric IP works fine, but asks for credentials via name
ruhkus asked on
I used to be able to access my Synology NAS by name (e.g. \\synology), but now, when I try that, regardless of user or pc, it prompts me for a username/password in Windows. However, if I put in the numeric IP for the NAS (\\192.168.1.10), I can access it fine. Any idea what could be causing this issue?
Thanks.
Thanks.
