Can't connect to NAS using MacOS Monterey in Safari

Hello there,


I'm having trouble connecting to my Synology DS218 when trying to use the ip address using my new Macbook Pro using macos12. I can connect my MBP to the Synology using quickconnect in Safari, I can connect to my NAS via the finder but when trying to connect in Safari using its ip address or trying to ping the IP address in terminal it wont connect. I've tried turning off my VPN and the macos firewall but still nothing and I'm not using the Private Relay option either.


The reason why I think the issue is related to the new macOS is because my old 5,1 Mac Pro which is still on Mojave and on the same wifi network can connect using Safari and can ping the IP address in terminal without any issues. 


Any ideas?

MacBook Pro (2020 and later)

Greetingsohn Williams,


Thanks for using Apple Support Communities!


You can use Connect your Mac to shared computers and servers, and here's how to check the settings on your Mac:

"Connect to a computer or server by entering its address

  1. In the Finder  on your Mac, choose Go > Connect to Server.
  2. Type the network address for the computer or server in the Server Address field.

For information about the correct format for network addresses, see Network address formats and protocols.

3.Click Connect.

4.Select how you want to connect to the Mac:

    • Guest: You can connect as a Guest user if the shared computer permits guest access.
    • Registered User: Connect to the other Mac using a valid login name and password. If “Only these users” is selected on the other Mac, make sure the login name you’re using is on the list of allowed users.
    • Using an Apple ID: Connect to the other Mac using an Apple ID. You must be set up in Users & Groups preferences with this Apple ID, on both this Mac and the other Mac.

If necessary, enter your user name and password, then select the server volumes or shared folders.

5. To make it easier to connect to the computer in the future, select “Remember this password in my keychain” to add your user name and password for the computer to your keychain."

We'd want to rule this out first.


Next step would be to work with Synology. You'd want to go through any setting that would be needed, and confirm that it's compatible.


Take care!
