Are you trying to access it using the NAS name or IP address? If by name, try using the IP address. That's a bug that nobody seems to have figured out and isn't unique to ReadyNAS, as I've seen postings in other forums for other Linux-based systems accessed by Windows. If that works and you really want to use the name, then adding the NAS name and IP address to your hosts file (Google it) will allow that.
Another thing that can cause that is if you are using the same user name on the NAS as your Windows login but not the same password. That one got me a few updates back, where Windows sends the name and wrong password, which are rejected by the NAS, but then doesn't give you an opportunity to change them (where it used to).
I'm using IP address (have been accessing the shares on the NAS the same way for years)
I've manually entered known good credentials and it does not connect
Do these steps work?
- Open CMD and enter
- net use * /d /y
- net use t: \\nas-ip-address\data /u:admin nas-admin-password
using the real NAS IP address and admin password.
This should mount the NAS data volume as drive letter T.
Note if you use FlexRAID you'll need to change data to your actual volume name.
