Cannot access NAS in Windows Explorer
Seems this occurs on the forum regularly, but I have tried all of the suggested solutions and nothing works. I am trying to access the NAS drives from Windows Explorer from a Windows 10 Pro machi...

Unreal... in some vague attempt to reset everything, I just tried changing the password to exactly the same password it already was and everything worked.
The previous password was working for web access and SSH, but for some strange reason wasn't working for SMB sharing... reset it back to itself and bingo!
Thanks for all your help!
Is the NAS admin password still set to the default password? You can't map the data volume using the default admin credentials.
Also, is your data volume actually named data? That is the default for XRAID, but if you set the NAS up using flexraid you might have a different volume name.
Hi Stephen,
No credentials have been changed from default.
I have exactly the same issue for both my RN104 NASs, so it's not even just a strange corruption by the looks...
Yes, I used the default for XRAID and it is named /data.
Thanks,

Then you need to change the NAS admin password and try it again.
Sorry, misunderstanding I think, when I wrote No, I was referring to Stephen's question. What I should have written was just
The credentials have been changed from the default.
The network also has to be classified as private by windows, so that is another thing to check.
Have you tried rebooting the PC?
