Windows 11 23H2 unable to access EX2 ULTRA with win explorer

[NoPlex]

@avbuff

my main pc which i use daily had issues accessing the drive under the lastest 22H2 beta versions so i had to roll the update back and all was fine.
i like to do a fresh install of windows at least once a year which i did recently but i cannot access the drive in the normal manner and the other 2 pc,s on old version of windows can still access it no problem, i read somewhere that microsoft as changed security measures

Please try the EX2 Ultra by ip address, something like this if you don’t know the ip address of the NAS:

keep running the command line ‘arp’ command (Windows key + R, then type ‘cmd’ to get to the command line terminal) to check if the NAS shows up. You run this on the Windows desktop/laptop that is in the same subnet

arp -a

The user could also issue the command to search for the mac address of the NAS (printed on the bottom), for example here, if the last few digits of the mac address is ‘ab-cd’ then one would issue:

arp -a | find "ab-cd"

When you find the ip address of the NAS, just enter that into the Windows File explorer such as

\\192.168.1.201
