Windows 10, updated, decided that it would not let me map drives to my ancient NAS box any more. Do not pass go, do not collect $200. Just go. NAS box does SMB1 only and no update for firmware. Actually, there is a way to enable it via Powershell but I think I bought the NAS box in 2012 and it doesn't own me anything. I will take the data off the drives (mirror RAID) and move them over, they are only a couple of years old.
So, although I hated to spring for a new NAS box and start over, that seemed to be the better choice. Duckduckgo'd some NAS stuff and hit on JSOP's oldish article, here on CP, about using freenas. Have a decent Dell Precision Workstation I just removed from surveillance duty and Viola! 
Installed Truenas (replaced freenas) and am still configuring/learning. Many options similar to Synology (probably same OS). Like Synology, I can limit attaching hosts by IP address and set some backups as WORM (after 5 minute delay). Still much to configure but basics are working well. Performance is excellent when using Veeam to back up virtual machines from ESXi. Now about those drives... Thanks for the idea JSOP (real).

I had the same problem, but found a workround: set your router to give a fixed IP address to your NAS and disconect the current shares. Then remake them using IP addresses instead of server names.
All shares on my SMB1 NASes work fine (though occasionally I have to restart Windows if it doesn't connect, but that's because the NAS has spun down the drives and hibernated it's software overnight rather than being Windows fault. It just takes too long to wake up and Windows times out waiting. A restart fixes it immediately.

All IP addresses are fixed and all shares by IP. Had to enable SMB1 to reconnect shares to that NAS. Replacing it anyway. Too slow now that things are more bloated.
Thank you.

I understand your issue and wish you the best. How many machines on your network? I have a Raid+ box attached by USB to one of my 2 computers, and a Proraid attached to the other. They are not Networked.
They are both configured for raid 5. The Raid+ has 4 4TB SSD drives, and the Proraid has 4 hard disks.
They are both plenty fast enough for me. I actually use the Raid+ as an external drive and not just for backup.
You are correct, CP is great for many things. I just wish thye could add a Spell checker function to this message box. And before anyone remarks why don't I write one  , I don't know how. I bought the one I use. 
Slower than ever....

Thank you, my issue is being resolved by my "new" TrueNAS system. I merely intended to pass along my appreciation for this site.
I have 4 hardware systems and about a 6 of 12 virtual machines running at any given time. I use both ESXi and VMware Workstation. I "model" a client's network of 4 servers and a second network of surveillance cameras.
I run 3 LAN's here, each with its own public facing router/firewall. All IP's, public and private are static. Having resolved some 3 Ransomeware situations, I am slightly paranoid. No, that is wrong, I am not paranoid, they are out to get me (you too)!

You are a significantly better man than me! I agree that they are out to get us.
Maybe we should form an alliance to track them down and go "get them"

I can't help but think the lack of responses is parsley because people think I'm a newbie instead of a re-carnation.

Actually it's Monday so many of us don't have any thyme.

Bouquet, that makes sense.

The lack of responses may indeed stem from that fact, or no one has the thyme...
