Time Machine and AFP have stopped working. I think it may have happened at the firmware update before last but cannot confirm that.
I have an HS-251+ w/ firmware version 4.3.6.0959
I have macOS 10.14.5 and QNAP.
When I try connect to the NAS using Finder (Go > Connect to Server > "afp://NAS1" > Connect) I receive an error: "There was a problem connecting to the server NAS1. The server may not exist or is not available. ...etc"
I can no longer see the server in Finder side panel, but if I click Network I can see it only if I turn on Windows Networking.
On a linux workstation I can see all the NFS mounts fine.
Time Machine can no longer find NAS1 to back up either.
I am completely stumped as to how to fix this.
Thanks
Bryon
QNAP Support confirmed this is a bug.
I was able to confirm that it only happens if you create additional shares - then time Machine stops working. You delete the shares and time machine can see the Nas again.

Background
I run a Mac OS X Catalina, Apache, PHP 7.3, SQL Server 2012 stack on my mac.
Obviously SQL Server will not run on a mac so it is run on a Virtual Box Windows 10 Professional machine with network routing on port 1433.
The Problem
My local host website moves very fast most of the time. However if the Virtual Box has not been accessed for a certain amount of time (as in physically opening the vm window and manipulating something in the OS the site slows from ~1sec loads to as high as 30sec loads. I select the VM and it immediately speeds up again to normal speed. This issue is exaggerated when I run on battery power and in about 30sec after I leave the VM window the performance drop occurs.
The Question: What is happening and how do I stop it?
I suspect Mac OS is throttling background processes to protect battery life and free up resources. It could be doing this to hard drive access or processor access to achieve the same effect. Is this a fair evaluation? Is their a setting in Virtual Box or Mac OS or service I can use to prevent this specific process from being back-burnered?
So turns out the issue was completely unrelated to virtual box. I was using a custom domain name for the local copy of the website. "mysite.local" Mac has reserved the ".local" domain extension for internal use. So while it works it has very inconsistent performance sometimes responding to the dns request in moments other times taking up to 30sec. The issue is indeed more pronounced while on battery and more pronounced when I have virtual box running I assume whatever dns service is running is being throttled or overworked.
The solution: Change the ".local" domain to just about anything else.
I changed it to ".dson" and have not had the issue since. I read this solution in another stack exchange question but I have been unable to re-locate it
I recently dual booted my Acer aspire E15 laptop with Ubuntu. The Ubuntu was working fine but when I opened the windows from grub menu, wireless networks like wifi wasn't detected and any exe files are not opening rather a bad image error is popping up which reads:
“Example.exe – Bad Image”
“C:\Windows\AppPatch\example.dll is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error. Try installing the program again using the original installation media or contact your system administrator or the software vendor for support. Error status 0xc000012f”
It comes up when I open any kind of exe files including even task manager.
I even deleted Ubuntu and included the partition created by Ubuntu into C drive. I guess I have made a huge mess of the PC by changing the settings. I tried regedit method as well but the value in AppInit_DLLs was null by default. I even tried resetting the pc but after 11% it is saying can't proceed,undoing the changes. Somebody please help, I have watched plethora of YouTube videos on this topic but to no avail. I did these changes in my bios https://askubuntu.com/questions/771455/dual-boot-ubuntu-with-windows-on-acer-aspire as well given by Umar having 5 upvotes during dual booting. How can I undo everything just like my new computer with windows 10 or fix this problem.
Try contacting Microsoft Remote Assistance Support, they will format your PC via remote assistance. It worked for me.
I'm fighting strongly against a problem that is making me crazy.
I’m extensively using QEMU over a Win7 64bits machine for running different Linux VMs (Debian, Raspbian).
In the past I configured the network following the QEMU instructions using the OpenVPN TAP device and network bridge in Win7 : it ran perfectly and the Linux machine was able to connect the “real world” networks, internet and so on.
In the last few days, on the contrary, this nice behavior stops working. The Windows situation is unmodified (the OpenVPN TAP driver settings are the same, the bridge is still there, when the bridge is active Windows still see the network, the TAP driver becomes “busy” when the QEMU VM starts as usual, the QEMU startup scripts are still the same…), but the emulated Linux system (whatever image I use) is unable to connect the network.
The “eth0” interface is active but unable to get the IP address from the DHCP and also using fixed IP address doesn’t solve the problem, since the IP address is not seen by the “real” network.
I have tried to uninstall and reinstall again the OpenVPN TAP driver, to downgrade Win QEMU to the previous version, but no way !
The only change that I made in the HOST configuration has been to install GNS3 (with its own TAP driver), but without including the QEMU VM in any GNS3 network.
Does anybody have suggestions regarding what kind of checks I have to do on QEMU in order to solve the problem ?
Any help will be appreciated

I was finally able to get out.
I was forced to restore a previous system image : all attempts to uninstall and reinstall the OpenVPN TAP driver were useless.
The problem is probably due to the update of the OpenVPN TAP driver : with the v.9.0.0.9 no problem, but updating to the 9.21.1 seems to have generated the problem.
I'm now able to use again QEMU and GNS3 in network.
But what a strange case !
I've just installed the VMware Workstation 10.0.1, but when I try to boot a virtual machine (I've created a new guest and I also have a virtual disk image of another VM), it doesn't start to run and I get this error: "Cannot find a valid peer process to connect to". I've googled around but didn't find a solution to the problem. I am using Windows 7 64 bit.
I also have VirtualBox installed (maybe VMware goes in conflict with VirtualBox?).
What should I do? I need those virtual machines to run.
If the above solution didn't work, just restart your machine (Physical machine) and try booting again.
I needed to "allow" the VMware system extension (macOS warned me about this being blocked on install, but I ignored it).
In brief: System Preferences > Security and Privacy > General > Click "Allow" on the "VMware blocked" message
See accepted answer here for further details: https://superuser.com/questions/1256489/how-to-fix-vmware-fusion-pro-10-cannot-find-a-valid-peer-process-to-connect-to
Am not sure if this is really a solution but in my case it worked.
I had to go to the "Virtual Machine Library" and Double-click the VM that's throwing the error and that fixed it.
I updated to Mac OS-X 10.7.4, and the client stopped working.
I have dev files which I stupidly haven't backed up. Does someone know any way to restore the files on the client or to get into "safe mode" which maybe let me do that?
Here's a KB from VMware that explains how you can mount VM disks without actually powering on the VM: http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1010989
