   Since you managed to contact the QNAP NAS, that suggests   
   Linux is currently configured to do both SMBV1 and the others.   
      
   In Windows   
      
      Start : Run : control                  # Run control.exe   
      
      "Programs and Features" control panel   
      
      Windows Features (side link)   
      
   There are three tick boxes for SMBV1, one being automatic   
   removal and should not be ticked. The other two boxes   
   should be ticked.   
      
   We should have Alan (Pinterest) write up a procedure for you.   
   He's been through this enough times, to help others.

   bullwinkle@ZORO:~$ ls /etc/samba/smb.conf   
   /etc/samba/smb.conf   
      
   bullwinkle@ZORO:~$ ps aguwwwx | grep smbd   
   root        6817  0.0  0.8  96888 24320 ?        Ss   18:17   0:00

   bullwinkle@ZORO:~$ ps aguwwwx | grep nmbd

   /usr/sbin/nmbd --foreground --no-process-group   
      
   sudo gedit /etc/samba/smb.conf   
      
       workgroup = WORKGROUP                # Now we add some settings. The   
   setting already there, assumes WORKGROUP is the one.   
      
       server min protocol = NT1   
       server max protocol = smb3   
       client min protocol = NT1   
       client max protocol = smb3   
       client lanman auth = yes   
       ntlm auth = yes   
      
   Now, we add ourselves to some password thing,   
   using the same password as our account. Or so.   
      
   $ sudo smbpasswd -a bullwinkle   
      
   [sudo] password for bullwinkle:   
   New SMB password:   
   Retype new SMB password:   
   Added user bullwinkle.
