I posted recently about my old NAS failing. Turned out it was terminal and I either had to get a new one or find some other way to set up a network drive accessible from anywhere on the LAN. The answer was simple as all I had to do was connect a spare HDD to the USB port on my BT Smart Hub 2 router and that works a treat. Only today did it occur to me that as the old NAS was no longer in use I would no longer need to keep SMB1 active - a good thing as we have all been urged for years to get rid of it and MS have said it will be removed soon. So I disabled it and my new network attached HDD promptly became inaccessible! I had assumed that SMB 2 or 3 would step in but not so so I have temporarily had to reselect SMB1. What should I do now?
