READYSHARE not recognizing USB

Out of nowhere, my external HD disappeared on the network.  I couldn't find it on explorer, Genie, or Readyshare Vault.  However, I could ping the address (192.168.0.5).  I am on Windows 10and using a Dell Laptop.  I have been reading many suggestions but none seemed to work for me.  I plugged the HD into my laptop and it was just fine.    Any Ideas?  

Genie is Version 2.4.50

My router is 3.01.14

  • addendum:  I receive this message when I try to access 192.168.0.5 from explorer

    The device or resource (192.168.0.5) is not set up to accept connections on port "The File and printer sharing (SMB)".

      Were you able to fix the issue?

      I just encountered the same this week.

        I purchased a uShare™ Mini NAS Adapter, and connected my USB HD to an ethernet port.
