Ready Share Not Connecting After New Disk

Put a new USB Drive in Ready Share and now it won't connect from Windows 11 like the old one. The Share Name box on the old drive said:   \\readyshare

Using RUN, \\readyshare would open on my computers and then I'd map the network drive and share files from it.

With the new drive I did a clean format with no Drive Letter or anything else.

The new drive has:  \\readyshare\T_Drive when I try to open it I get the "Network Error Windows Cannot Access..."  Also tried it with just \\readyshare, same thing.

 

Can connect with HTTP/HTTPS, but since the Drive doesn't show on my computers I can't manage it.

Thanks in advance!
