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?

I agree. A firewall issue does sounds like a likely cause for this.

Thanks for the reply, im looking into it now in settings, Another weird issue is im transferring files via FTP as I cant access the open folder view and if I close ready nas remote down it disconnects the FTP as well,,

What do you mean by close readynas remote down? Turn ReadyNAS Remote off in the Dashboard (web admin interface of the NAS)?

What I did was open readnas remote up and log in as admin, enable ftp and put the details into filezilla, and started to download a couple of videos to my laptop,
I then closed down readynas remote on the laptop it disconnected me from filezilla as well, I did a couple of reboots but filezilla cant connect to my nas if readynas remote isnt running.
