Windows networking / Samba not working

[wfbach]

I updated the firmware of my QNAP TS-110 today. Since then, the network folders don't work anymnore. When my QNAP has the same workgroup as my computer, it show up in my network screen, but I can't connect. using \\Server-name of \\IP-address doesn't work either.

Anybody any ideas?

Updated firmware from a very old version (about 1 year old, haven't used it in a while, I think 3.1 or 3.2) to 3.6.1. Windows networking is enabled, user accounts are enabled and set up the same as my computer and it worked before I flashed the firmware...

And of course, just after poosting this, I found the following patch: Samba_Fix_CVE-2012-1182_ARM SambaCVE-2012-1182_ARM. This fixed it!

Suspect your NAS is not fully updated anyway. You can do this straight using v3.7.1 made available today.

Please consider to run the firmware update from the NAS Linux shell. Ensure SSH access is enabled on the NAS, so you can login from your computer (Windows: puTTY, OS X Terminal app: ä ssh admin@[NAS-IP-address]) using the admin credentials. Then you can enter the commands (the [~] shows just the currecnt directory, the # is the prompt.

Use the manual update as documented here: http://wiki.qnap.com/wiki/Manually_Updating_Firmware

Please post the output - just copy and paste the text from the terminal - in case things dont succeed.

Eample - here I start with a direct download of the firmware to the NAS Public share - here an older firmware update for a TS-459. Use the appropriate firmware version, copy the appropriate URL from the download page:

As this looks good we're ready for a reboot:
