RND4000 WIn 10 Unexpected Network error
Hi All, I just upgraded the latest firmware 6.9.3. After the reboot I noticed that I could not access my shared folders. The hostname is "nas" and the device is 192.168.1.99 *DHCP assigned, stati...
Resolving hostnames of linux systems via windows has always been a bit hit-or-miss. I don't know any sure-fire fix - though you might try rebooting your router and then the PC.
Personally I reserve an IP address in my router for my NAS, and just use that.
Thanks.
I did reserved an Ip Add for the nas in my router. I just find it strange with .the new firmware

I've seen lots of posts here which report that
- sometimes it happens after a firmware upgrade
- sometimes it happens when a router is replaced
- sometimes it happens when windows is updated
- sometimes it only happens on some PCs and not others
- After it fails, it sometimes starts working again with no obvious changes to the setup.
I've also seen references to this issue with other equipment (not ReadyNAS).
In the specific case of the firmware upgrade, other users have also reported that downgrading the firmware doesn't help.
My conclusion: Hostname discovery remains fragile even in Windows 10, and there isn't much that can be done about that.
- The problem Im facing is i canlog into the admin page but i cannot map shared drive in network
