ReadyNAS NV+ v1 - no browser access, no share access
Hello, everybody!
I have a NV+ v1 that I have been running as backup unit and it has been running well, although it is SMB1. A few weeks ago I saw that I could not access the shares on it and when I finally got the time to have a closer look at it I cannot even access the web interface either (was it called Frontview?)
Only a few ports are open, and none of them is 22 or 80; the open ports are: 25, 110, 119, 143, 465, 563, 587, 993, 995.
What can I do in this situation? I do not remember the exact version of O/S but I believe it should be the latest or next-to-latest one. If possible, I do not want to lose the contents of the drives in the NAS.
Does anybody have any suggestions?
Kind regards

If you use Windows, then go into "turn windows features on or off" and make sure the SMB 1 client is still enabled.

Thank you for the quick reply. So far I have tried the following:
- SMB protocol: Yes, I have checked SMB 1.0 in the Windows machine control panel (was still enabled - but I disbaled it and enabled again, no luck).
- Shell prompt:
- Tried putty from Windows, no success. As port 22 is not listening, I believe it was the expected outcome.
- Tried ssh and rsh from another Netgear NAS (running OS 6 and where I have full access), no success. Connection refused.
- Tried ping to the non-responsive NAS, works like a charm.
- Web interface:
- Tried http - port 80, connection refused as nobody listens on port 80.
- Tried https - port 443, connection refused as nobody listens.
- Tried using IP-address and NAS name, same outcome.
I have done a scanning of ports on the non-responsive NAS NV+ and see only usable ports are: 25, 110, 119, 143, 465, 563, 587, 993, 995.
Did you ever enable ssh on the NV+?
What status does RAIDar show (if any)?
pretty typical of everything they make. you should be happy if after paying they even acknowledge and give you a lame excuse. that's about all they can do. throw it away and get something of quality.

I would not express it this way: Netgear make some good stuff and some less good stuff.
I have 3 NASes, all of them Netgear and I am pretty happy with them.
