Can't see Roon Rock on the PC network

I know this topic has been done before but i’ve tried everything i can find regards SMB v1, Lanmann policy group etc etc.
I have just moved from an old laptop to new laptop which is a Dell XPS 13 running Windows 11. I can still see Rock on my old Windows 10 laptop and all the settings appear to be the same!! I have a BT home hub2 running into an 8 port switch which Rock is connected to (i have tried connecting direct to the hub but no luck). If i enter the ip address directly i do see the Rock portal so to me this confirms it’s there, the pc just isn’t seeing the share. I’ve also tried \Rock in file explorer i just get an error message “windows can’t access \ROCK”.
I’m sure this is something really simple i’ve overlooked but any help gratefully accepted.

Hi John

A quick question to help clarify. Did you load Rock onto your old laptop which means it is not windows 10 anymore since Rock includes an operating system. Or, did you load Roonserver on your windows 10 laptop and it is still windows 10?

No rock is on a NUC. However after spending even more time researching this i did come across a post within the community which recommended doing the following;
8. If you’re running Windows 11 Home edition, the guest fallback option is still enabled by default, so you’re probably not reading this blog post. But if for some reason it is on, or you need to turn off SMB signing due to some third-party NAS, you will need to use PowerShell to configure your machine because there is no gpedit tool by default. To do this:

a. On the Start Menu search, type powershell then under the Windows PowerShell app, click Run as administrator. Accept the elevation prompt.

b. To disable SMB signing requirement, type:

Set-SmbClientConfiguration -RequireSecuritySignature $false

d. Hit enter, then hit Y to accept.

c. To disable guest fallback, type:

Set-SmbClientConfiguration -EnableInsecureGuestLogons $true

e. Hit enter, then hit Y to accept.

At this point you will be working if Signing or Guest were your real problems.

This has solved my issue totally and it’s not that scary to do!! It was from a post by Geoff Coupe so thanks go to him.
