Cannot access share on ReadyNAS Duo

Hi,

I have a ReadyNAS Duo which has a few shares that run with "Allow guest access". Now i want to have a share that is protected and only accessable by my PC (Windows 10) but i cannot access the share. I'm always asked for credentials and either the admin nor a nas user's credentials work.

What I did so far:

-) created a new share called "testShare"

-) Default access is set to Read/write

-) "Hosts allowed access:" is set to the IP adress of my computer

What am I doing wrong, or what is missing?

Thanks for your help

Chris

Hi chrisqn,

Try the steps below:

1. Create a specific user login under 'Security tab'.

2. Change the default access of the said share from Read/Write to 'Disabled'.

3. Tick write-enabled users and enter your user login then hit apply.

Hope this helps!

Kind regards,

  Hi BrianL,
  
  thank you for your help. I tried the steps you posted many times before I posted my question but it never worked. After I got your answer I tried it again an it still did not work. In a different post I read that it could be a problem if network drives are mapped to the ReadyNAS Share so i deleted all my network drives on the computer and voilà it worked. Dont know why network shares should be a problem but it seams to be the solution for my problem.
  
  best regards,
  Chris
