Can't log on from network-attached Windows devices
Hi I just installed a ReadyNAS 104 and have upgraded to the latest firmware etc. I have set up 5 user accounts for different family members. Just now there are three computers on my home networ...
OK, problem (finally) solved - I hope. I typed \\192.168.xx.yy in windows explorer and the user can now log on
The Domain\ shouldn't create a problem. You can try nasname\username if you like, that will prevent windows from adding it.
try running cmd on the problem systems and enter
net use * /delete
net use z: \\readynas\data /user:admin adminpassword
where adminpassword is the admin password of the nas. If it works, that will mount the full data volume as drive "z".
If it does work, then look at the windows credential manager on the two systems.
Note: if you are using a microsoft log on with the Windows 10 system, you will need to set up a windows credential. That log on doesn't work with the NAS. And Windows always presents it before it prompts you for a log on (unless you have a credential already stored).
Hi STephenB
Thanks! After playing around on the Desktop, I have managed to connect to the NAS using Windows logon for two users but when i try the same thing for the third, I don't get asked for a WIndows logon. This is weird!! On the desktop, all accounts are admin accounts, none have passwords and the user name is the same as the user names I set up on the NAS.
Re Win 10 credentials, presumably I have to add a credential for the NAS?
