ReadyNAS NVX - SMB not working after disk replacement
I've got a 4 disk ReadyNAS NVX set up with x-raid2. One of my disks died and I replaced it so it could be re-built, as soon as the re-build was done another disk died so I replaced that one as well, and now the raid has been re-built with that disk as well. When I try to go to either \\nas_hostname or \\nas_ip in windows explorer it prompts me for my username and password, when I put in either admin or my username and the password I get. "\\NAS is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the adminsistrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions. The specified server cannot perform the requested operation." Sometimes that last line says "The specified network name is no longer available" instead.
If I attempt to go to \\nas_ip or hostname\username it again prompts for me a username and password. When I enter them it gives me, "Windows cannot access \\nas\username. Check the spelling of the name. Otherwise, there might be a problem with your network. To try to identify and resolve network problems, click Diagnose." Click on the details shows me error code: 0x80004005.
I can ping the hostname or IP without an issue, and it's obviously seeing it because it prompts for a name and password each time, but nothing I can do will get it to connect. Any ideas how I can fix this?

One more note, I turned on FTP and I can't connect that way when I have user authentication turned on. When I set authentication to anonymous though it does let me connect, but it just shows the root drive as empty. In the ReadyNAS web frontview though it shows my volume as using 1.5TB which is correct.
Does it give you the same SMB problem whether you use the IP address or NAS name? Windows seems to have issues with proper access by name, even on newer OS6 units.
Also, are you using Share or User security mode? Share mode was depreciated some time ago, in large part due to issues with Win10.
I get the same basic problem although it's worded differently with both IP vs hostname. It asks for username and password and then gives me an error, I listed them in my original post. I'm not sure where I would change user vs security mode, this is an older unit so maybe I don't have that option? It does show my user is there with plenty of disk usage, see attached file.
