Heh Neil!

 client min protocol = NT1

Actually that was in SMB.conf by default so no joy there.

Reading generally it seems there are statements you can add related to adding specific protocols to SMB.conf, like Netbios - there were also statements about various network protocols listening on different ports - was looking to see if anyone can tell me any success stories about connecting to some of these legacy systems under ArcaMapper.

I've always had very good experiences with NAS drives, I've had Iomega, WD, and Synology,
I use them as a backup point, and also as a link to share files between win and Arcaos.
If the NAS drive is on an internal network, the security you have on that network will really be your problem.
Another thing is if you want to have a NAS, connected to the internet.
In this case it gets a little more complicated. But I recommend a Synology DS220j NAS.
It's easy to set up, and you can turn on the double factor of safety.
It sends you a code to your email or sms to your mobile, after  user and pass.
Keep in mind that they are usually sold without HD.
There is a mobile app, with which you can send and receive to your mobile. Or from Dooble, it works too.
The other day I did a download at 4 - 5 mb/s, in the morning, and at 2 -3mb/s in the afternoon, great.
But it will depend on the network.
In short, Arcamaper is a great application that has improved a lot, and that has always worked well for me.

Yes, there are many (mostly useless) things. You probably want to get back to the DEFAULTS, because they work most often. The defaults may need to be restored in the other devices (NAS, win 7) too.

It would help if you told us exactly what you are doing, and what the results are.

Been a busy day today, as we had to pick up our daughter, in from Winnipeg, for a visit so not much time to reply today and I will be brief.

By the defaults, Doug, I'm assuming your meaning in ArcaMapper and in SMB.conf, when I've opened Network Browser - those are at the default levels, and no additions or deletions related to any of the settings.- IOW as they would be the "right out of the box" setup after installation of ArcaOS v5.1.

I think its rather obvious what I'm trying to do - namely use ArcaMapper on one machine the way I think it was intended - namely, to access other systems, to mount partitions on those systems to ArcaOS, so I can access and transfer files located there. I have used Netbios over TCPIP, and File and Print Client extensively on my network in the past to transfer and access items between ArcaOS / OS/2 systems, but those network protocols are now very old, and outdated and I have not been able to do this in the past with the type of systems I have mentioned.

I can see both the partitions present on the ReadyNAS and on one of the other computers running Windows 7 in the ArcaMapper Network Browser. When I attempt to mount a partition from either as a connection, I get the window asking for the logon credential for these systems, so the mount can occur - entering the correct user name and password on either brings up an error message about the logon credentials not being recognized.

Its about as simple as that.
