Can't Connect to READYnas RNDU 2000 with Windows 10
I have a ReadyNas that is very old but has been working fine until a few weeks ago. I have not had it turned on for some time. It boots up normally. I am now unable to access any shares with RAIDAR 6...

If you are directly connecting, try setting the PC to use:
- IP address 192.168.168.100
- subnet: 255.255.255.0
- router: 192.168.168.168
Then access the NAS by it's IP address (instead of it's hostname).

Hi Pocohorse,
Is the IP address of the computer on the same subnet with your NAS, which is 192.168.168.x? If it is not on the same subnet, you will need to change the IP of your computer to the same subnet to be able to access the NAS.

192.168.168.168 is the IP address the NAS uses if it cannot get an address from DHCP.
One thing to try is to reboot your router, and then reboot the NAS.
