On the front panel, selected Settings > Maintenance > Start NAS.
Brennan displays 'Upgrade SD' for a second or two then reverts to the clock.
It does not display any message such as ‘done’ or ‘complete’.
Is there any way to check, on the B2 itself, if this was successful or not?
On my windows 10 pc (tried on two different laptops) I cannot see the B2 in my network devices. If I try to connect by typing "\\192.168.x.y\music" into explorer it eventually fails. I do not get prompted for username/password. The error message is 'the remote device or resource won't accept the connection' and 'The device or resource (192.168.x.y) is not set up to accept connections on port "The file and printer sharing (SMB)"
I have double and triple checked I am using the correct ip address as displayed on the front panel.
As it is the same error on 2 laptops I assume it is something I have to do on the B2 but I don't know what.
I have no issues connecting to the B2 GUI from the same laptop.
In the GUI > Settings it shows FW as "Oct 15 2021 11:24:17"
Any help would be much appreciated.

On your Win10 computer:
This stage only required if the B2 doesn't show in 'View network computers and devices' (see the next stage)
In the 'Type here to search' box type - Turn Windows features on and off (you don't have to type all of this as you will be prompted by the computer).
Click on 'Turn Windows features on and off'
Scroll down to 'SMB1.0/CIFS File sharing support' and expand the section - click on the '+' box
Select the second item - SMB1.0/CIFS Client - it may already be selected so no need to select again
Click on OK.
On the Win10 computer:
In the 'Type here to search' box type View network computers and devices
Click on 'View network computers and Devices'
BRENNANB2 should be displayed on the 'computer' line - if not wait a while (it can take a while to show the first time) and try refreshing the 'View network....' page.
Double click on BRENNANB2 - a pop up panel will open
Enter user name = root
Enter password = brennan and click on OK
The B2's 'music' folder will be shown - double click to open it - this can take a while as the computer needs to load all of the files on the B2's HDD.
Once loaded a list of Artist folders will be shown
Double clicking on an Artist folder will show the Album folder/s associated with the Artist
Double clicking any Album folder will show the Tracks and Album Artworks
You can then edit these folders and files as you would any folders/files on your computer e.g. create new folders, copy and paste, cut and paste, rename, delete, etc.
You can also copy music from your computer (iTunes, etc) to the B2 whilst in NAS mode - make sure you maintain the correct Artist - Album - Track folder format so the music is correctly displayed on the B2.
Please note - any changes you make on the computer are local to the computer and must be transferred to the B2 by running Scan Disk - Settings menu - on the B2. If you leave the computer session without running Scan Disk, any changes will be lost.
