Ready NAS 214 cannot access or map drive in windows 7 only through internet ready cloud
I have been trying everything from every post in the forums that I can find regarding mapping a drive to the NAS on a win7 PC. Windows sees the NAS ans it's name. Yet everytime I try to map to it win...
Thank you sir. I did try all three options. One of the options couldnt see the storage but the other two could and still get the windows error that windows cannot access the NAS. I do appreciate your time in trying to help me get through this. I am fdiasking and formattiing the Windows drive and will reimage shortly.
Kind regards,
Ken
It only happens locally when trying to map the network drive.
It works fine when using the internet cloud connection.

Ok. What happens if you open CMD and enter
net use * /delete
net use t: \\nas-ip-address\sharename /user:admin nas-admin-password
using the real IP address, sharename, and admin password of course. Be careful on the slash directions and the spaces.

I actually tried every single solution that the community has offered. The same error for every solution. I tried the one you mentioned around 6 hours ago. I'm thinking I might reimage the system.
ok. But it might be useful to know what error you are seeing.
Just in case you didn't check this already - confirm that the PC classifies the network connection as private (home or work with Win7).
