For some reason when I put my local Windows 7 desktop PC fixed/static IPs (192.168.1.X) into Shares > Settings > Network Access > SMB > Hosts it prevents me from accessing the Shares via My Computer ...

Hi Zippyduda,

What is your nas firmware version? And When you access the Shares via My Computer > Network, do you use anonymous login or a specified user?

Best Regards.

I use firmware version 6.10.1 and I tried using three different accounts I have (one with SSH access, one without and one cloud).

  Does the Windows Credential Manager have any ReadyNAS credentials stored in it?

    Yes but these work fine when I remove my PC fixed/static IP from the Hosts section (which I believe is meant to allow/lock down access from just the IPs you kist for security).
