Ready NAS 314 - Fine on RAIDar but Can't open in File explorer
I have one ReadyNAS 314 and one 316. Both show up when I run RAIDar but when I click on either of the devices shown on Windows (10) file explorer, I cannot connect to either device. The message I g...
Ok. I tried that but got an error. I added the substituted the share 'media' and the password 'password'. (Haven't changed it yet!) Screen shot attached. I must have done something wrong.
missed the 1st line: Net use */del /y as a separate line
Response to this line is:
There are no entries in the list.
Then when I execute the 2nd line:
net use t: \\NAS-D5-F1-A2\media /user:admin password
I get a response that the specified network password is not correct. But it is unless there is a context error.
And to make matters more interesting, the files on the NAS boxes are now accessable on file explorer???? Fixed itself?

It could be that the net use * /del /y resolved it. That command terminates any open SMB sessions.
But I have no explanation on why the second command gave you the password error.
THis probably resolved itself. My backup using SynchBack Free ran successfully at 3:00 am. So it was good at that time. The reason I posted the yesterday was that SynchBack was having problems and the other issues were there. The only thing that I can think that I ran the day before was USBOblivion which cleans up a bunch of USB issues but it could do some other things. I will run it again and then see if I am ok. I'll try net use * /del /y in the future when I see this problem. It is a situation I see once in a while. Thank you for your help. Very much appreciated.
Ok. I ran USB Oblivion and that put me where I was before the NAS came back on line:
1. Ok on RAIDar
2. NG on Windows file explorer -
3. Ran net use * /del /y in CMD as admin. Returned "There are no entries on the list.
4. Ran net use t: \\NAS-D5-F1-A2\media /user:admin password:password - returned The semaphore time out period has expired.
5. Tried it with the IP address: net use t: \\192.168.1.22\media /user:admin password:password - this responded that the password was incorrect????
The USB Oblivion does create a backup of the registry before it runs.
Unless someone has a great idea, I suspect I shouldn't run USB Oblivion unless I have a big USB problem. I am fully expecting this to repair itself within a few days. Just awful annoying.
