No Access to Frontview
So my problem started about a month ago. I had 2 hard drives failing in my NAS. I have replaced both drives, did a factory reset on the NV+ and now I can't access Frontview. I have read and follow...

I guess we can disregard. I was finally able to access Frontview from my Windows 7 using IE. But it took like 10 minutes to access the admin login and then I was able to install SSH and modify the Virtual.conf file.

Now the only issue I have is I can't seem to map the admin share and I have also noticed that my DUO and both NV+ units are not showing up in Exporer/Network Neighborhood or whatever it's called these days.

What error are you getting? Is it possible that the PC is already accessing the NAS with other credentials?

When you say you "can't access Frontview", what error message are you getting?
Is your antivirus by chance Norton 360?

Generally I was getting Connection Refused. But I've resolved the issue now. I was not using Norton 360.

Something I noticed with my RN4000, no new generation browsers wanted to access it's web page. I happened to have a old version of Firefox that was able to access it. Been using it on Win 10 and 11 fine to get to the Web UI fine. I'll have to check and see what version FF is.

Basically it was network location not found or something similar. I rebooted the NAS, and then my laptop and now it seems to be mapping fine. Just glad I have a Win 7 laptop and IE to be able to get into FrontView.
