ReadyNas Remote Can't see shares
I have a ReadyNas Pro 6 running the most current firmware and the most current version of the Remote plugin. Initially, it was working fine and I could access my shares remotely. Now, I can connect to the NAS and I can even access the remote admin and the readydrop folder, but no shares from the NAS show up when I try to browse it. When I chose Open Folder-->NAS from the Remote menu, it just brings up an explorer window of My Documents (local) which is the parent folder for the readydrop folder. I'm on a laptop running windows 7 x64.
Now on my wife's comp, a Mac, I can run readynas remote and access the shares no problem, using the same user settings and everything, so it's not a permissions issue. Does anyone know why I can't get the shares to show up on my windows machine?
