ReadyNasRN10200
2 problems - ReadyNasRN10200: Trying to switch on ReadyCloud in Admin Page and it has an error message saying - I've tried rebooting too: Also I am trying to share a folder with another us...

When enabling ReadyCloud, NAS should not be integrated to AD - how can I check this please?
By default, the NAS doesn't use AD - and generally you would know if you have it set up this way.
You can check it via the web ui - select the "accounts" tab, and then click on "authentication". If "access type" is set to "local users" you are not using Active Directory.

I haven't tried this, please could you explain how to do, thanks
The details are different for each router model - you can try googling "port forwarding" with your router model and see what comes up. Maybe also let us know what router you have.
Overall, the process involves
- - use a local IP address for the NAS, so it always gets the same one. The best way to do this is to use DHCP in the NAS itself, and reserve the address in the router. Most routers have this feature - some call it "address reservation", others call it "ARP binding".
- -then forward port 6300 in the router to that local IP address.
Checked all this was in place - was all ok. Somehow it asked me to input 'FACTORY' to continue - I should have realised it was a reset... anyway it's wiped everything and now it works with readycloud. Luckily all the data is backed-up on the second one so I will have to bring it to The Netherlands when I return in 2 weeks and copy the data over. I think I will leave them in the same location until I have figured out how to use them better! I may need your help again in 2 weeks to configure the backup process to work again since I think it wiped all the settings! Thanks for trying to help :))
