Note win 10 has a process that auto disables its SMBv1 client after a
couple of week. That can result in shares where you can ping the server,
and yet not mount or access them - almost like the machine is not on the
network.

You need to go into the add/remove windows components in the Programs
and Features bit of control panel, and find the CIFS/SMB options. Turn
on the client, and turn off the pesky thing that knobbles it.


Ah, thanks very much, with a bit more persistence I've got there.

With the Samsung, net view wouldn't work until after I had logged in
via the Network Browser.

With the Pavilion, SMB1 was not enable and now is.

I can get to both

Sorted, well done!

(I have been caught out by the poxy auto disable SMB1 thing on a number
of occasions. Trying to access a share, then thinking, "has some muppet
turned off the NAS", before realising I can still ping it!)
