No "special guest" this time?

I'm thinking if it's this easy then why haven't zyxel issued a patch, so... Absolutely! If Zyxel aren't patching it not sure I want to try! They haven't issued a "patch" (read as "SAMBA update") as they can't be bothered because it's an out of date product - it's officially &quo...

I would make sure your firewall is set to block any and all SMB packets. Though to be a firewall, it should be blocking everything its not told to pass. It's not stuff coming through the firewall that's the problem. As the NAS can only talk SMBv1, all windows boxes mapping drives have to use SMBv1 ...

Is that where you are now? Far too 'ot for me. It's 2:54 AM and I'm having some breakfast before departing to Gatwick. Should take orf at 9:30 this morning. Have a great great time ! You'll undoubtedly return the object of envy for all as a bronzed hunk with a ripped beach body.... ...or maybe not....

Time for a new NAS, methinks.

Tbh, you could use the method I outlined before about upgrading samba over ssh using shell commands.

I was going to post this in the "Jokes" section, but it's not a joke: Dubai National Cucumber Day http://gulfnews.com/guides/going-out/restaurants/pay-with-a-cucumber-at-these-35-dubai-venues-on-may-17-1.2024849 I suspect it's something from our Minister of Happiness (yes, we really have o...

Sorry

It's not that bad to do, but it's also non-trivial I'm afraid...

Just done mine. Via Control Panel, thingy wossname.

You still need all the latest Windows patches, including the May set, to cover the NSA set of vulnerabilities.

You should also be running W10, not anything daft like 7 or XP.

I have contacted zyxel support with the question of how to force SMBv2 file share protocol. I await their response. I'm intrigued by this as there must be zillions of zyxel users out there in the same situation, yet there is no info about it on the net........believe me I've looked. It'll be embedd...

Very interesting! I thought I'd try Jack's recommendation. Running Windows 10 and knowing nothing about how it all works I followed the instructions. After reboot I've lost the Squeezebox on the Network; it's still there under 'This PC' but gone from Network. Should I be worried!? No - not worried ...

Hi Nick trixy stuff going on here....If you're still interested: 2 screen shots of smb-connection, one with the smb1 box ticked and one with the box unticked smb1 untickedsm.jpg smb1 tickedsm.jpg obviously with the box unticked win8.1 cant see the linux shares in explorer Well, that's definitely pr...

I'm still sniggering but I've got a feeling this may end in tears You didn't say what was running on the laptop, however, there is a way to find out why it needed SMBv1. Re-enable SMBv1. Start the PowerShell ISE in Administrator mode. Execute get-smbconnection You will get a list like PS C:\WINDOWS...

I've switched on SMBv2/3 via command line(elevated) and reloaded this machine The network is still not visible on this machine any suggestions? It's really difficult to remotely diagnose this sort of stuff. I'd turn SMBv1 back on for the laptop until you can make a more controlled transition to V2/...

Ha, foiled Re your suggestion Nick Just removed SMBv1 from the bosses laptop and she's lost all access to the linux servers on the local network....all backups also failed...... trying to backtrack in a bit of a hurry she wants to know where you are and is on to BA to book tickets as we speak..... ...

Should have added this, but can't edit my last post any more:

Brian Krebs is a good guy - his blog is an excellent read (if you're into that sort of thing).
