| 1436663 | 2017-06-27 05:56:00 | So...Been running this NAS as a media server / storage box for last 12 months hassle free. It's been turned off several times during that period and powers back on just fine and is found by my main windows desktop. Had a power cut yesterday and at some point, the NAS, the Router and the managed switch powered down. I've now noticed that the NAS is missing from the Network under windows explorer - the window that lists Computer followed by your drives then another tag called network. It used to be called Synology and sit under the network icon. I could explore it and open up various shares / drag and drop files into those shares. I got it back last night through rebooting the NAS and after lots of kerfuffle. It just appeared. Thought it was working fine then powered on the PC today and its missing again. It stil has its static IP. I can dial into it just fine using the synology web interface / address from my PC. I can access all the shares on it just fine using the web interface. I can access it using my htpc as well and it plays fine with kobi. I just can't see it on the network. Tried restarting it but nothing different. Its connected into a Netgear Prosafe Switch which in turn is connected into my Asus AC88U router. I'm guessing this is a glitch versus a hardware issue but I've tried everything I can / know and am stuck. Help appreciated thanks |

| 1436664 | 2017-06-27 06:16:00 | Forgot to say. Running windows 7. Main desktop is recognised as the master browser. Also, having been reading other websites, typed \\synology into the explorer bar and it appeared under the network and is again working. What does that imply ? Thanks | Gedc (11466) | ||
| 1436665 | 2017-06-27 06:22:00 | Theres a possible solution in Post #5 -- www.w7forums.com (www.w7forums.com) The "got ya" may be your comment -- Main desktop is recognised as the master browser. |

| 1436666 | 2017-06-27 21:41:00 | Thanks Wainuitech. That's the same issue I've been having. I think it's to do with the order different system components are booting up. I'm still trying to understand why I now need to change a setting on the NAS given it's been working perfectly for 12 months with the master browser button not being active. I did some more reading about making the router the master browser as there was some concerns that making the synology the master browser opened up a guest account / security issues. Will keep reading. thanks again | Gedc (11466) | ||
