My Mac Pro cant see (Find) my NAS drive.

Background.


I have had a NAS attached to my network which I usually mount on start with my Mac Pro tower. Recently it is not showing in fInder and therefore fails to mount. I can find the NAS using the IP address in browser and the Synology software and log on so its on the network but for some reason its not being discovered in Finder.


The strange thing is that when i log onto the nas it suddenly shows in finder. Ive tried it on my laptop and its fine. Ive tried to see if Kaspersky might be the problem but a bit of a dead end there. Not sure if OS update changed something


Any ideas?


Thanks


Alex



Macpro 2019 tower running Sonoma 14.3.1

NAS drive is a Synology 4 bay.

Network is hardwired Cat6e ethernet all run through 8 port switch

Kaspersky Security software

Mac Pro, macOS 14.3

no one can help you if you are still running Kaspersky, or any other third-party virus scanners. They are so intrusive and completely useless. You can't tell what is really going on. Your wounds are considered self-inflicted until that stuff is GONE.


Recent versions of MacOS completely changed how you should think about malware. 


From MacOS 11 Catalina onward, the system is on a Separate, crypto-locked System Volume, which is not writeable using ordinary means. Any unauthorized differences that appear to the crypto-locked volume are quickly detected and you are alerted.


So you could store just about every malware known to mankind on your Mac, and your Mac would not get infected spontaneously. Scanning for virus-like patterns might make you feel a little better now, but it is outdated nonsense.

Thanks for the reply and the Link-Local solution worked perfectly. Sadly on the virus guard rubbish Im required to have it installed, due to the demands of a client im working with at the moment. I dont have it on my laptop and everything is fine with that. The whole thing is piece of crap but without it I cant work on thier systems.

ClamXAV and MalwareBytes are the suggested third-party anti-virus to be running if you MUST have one installed to meet corporate requirements. They can be set for a VERY light touch. MalwareBytes is well respected by Mac Users.


Kaspersky has been accused of using its anti-Virus to break into secure connections on your Mac, and so ineptly as to leave you MORE exposed to attack than without their package installed. Kaspersky has been PROHIBITED on government systems, and if your employer has government contract, may put those contracts in jeopardy.
