Can't connect to new Windows 10 computer
I just switched to a new Wondows 10 computer. My RN 202 was working fine under the old computer. I can see it and work with it on my router just fine.
After many hours of searching and frustration, I have loaded all the newest versions of software that I can find and searched this Community for help.
Nothing has worked.
Why is such a simplething so difficult?????
All my other devices hooked up just fine.
Tired and frustrated

What firmware are you running?
First check that the Windows 10 machine and the ReadyNAS are configured to be in the same workgroup. Also check that the Windows 10 Network Connection is set to "private".
Then try entering \\nas-ip-address into the file explorer address bar (using the real NAS IP address). Be careful on the direction of the \. Does this show you the share list?
Also, are the shares set up for anonymous access?
- Windows is the deafult workgrou " workgroup". I don't know how to determine the NAS workgroup, but I have no knowledge of anything ddifferent.I can get to the RN 202 by entering the IP address and can see the shares and files.Everyone that has access has read/write privileges.What's next?
Check the GUI at System, Settings, SMB and check the Workgroup Name is shown as Workgroup
