Can access existing shares but not new ones on ReadyNas NV+
I have a ReadyNAS NV+ that I have been using for years with Win 7 & Win10 boxes for online backups. I recently created a new share to be the root archive for a new PC, but I can't seem to access it....

I then tried the NET USE command you suggested, as follows:
C:\WINDOWS\system32>net use t: \\192.168.1.203\C /user:admin [password] System error 1244 has occurred. The operation being requested was not performed because the user has not been authenticated.Any other ideas?
Is the admin password still the default netgear1? It won't work if unless the admin password was changed.
Did you precede that command with the net use * /delete /y ? If not, then try again (starting with the delete).

Hi,
I didn't do the net use * /delete /y, so here's the re-try:
C:\WINDOWS\system32>net use * /delete /y
You have these remote connections:
\\192.168.1.203\xps15
Continuing will cancel the connections.
The command completed successfully.
C:\WINDOWS\system32>net use t: \\192.168.1.203\C /user:admin [password]
System error 1244 has occurred.
The operation being requested was not performed because the user has not been authenticated.
C:\WINDOWS\system32>I changed the admin password a long time ago ;-).
TIA,
Frank

Replace the password with an asterisk and it should prompt you for a password. If you get an error message instead of the prompt, then it's a "visibility" problem of the NAS, not a password problem. I'm not sure why that would be the case for just new shares, though.

Got the prompt, but entering the password produced the same result - error 1244
C:\WINDOWS\system32>net use * /delete /y There are no entries in the list. C:\WINDOWS\system32>net use t: \\192.168.1.203\C /user:admin * Type the password for \\192.168.1.203\C: System error 1244 has occurred. The operation being requested was not performed because the user has not been authenticated. C:\WINDOWS\system32>
TIA,
Frank

Do you get the same result if you don't run CMD with elevated privileges?
Have you tried rebooting the PC?
