Hi Clive,

The router may show the NAS as a device on the network because it will see
its Ethernet MAC address and will have responded to its DHCP request for
an IP address.

I don't have Samba here so can't experiment, but try:
smbtree -N
on your Linux PC. I understand that it will send broadcast packets to
identify what's willing to share.
Given the NAS's IP address, e.g. from the router, you can try:
nmblookup -A 192.168.1.42
smbclient -L '\192.168.1.42'
Change the IP address above to match the IP address you want to
question.
