ReadyNAS RND4210 v3 - 1 WIn 10 Station cant connect , 4 others no problems
I have a customer that has 1 Station Win10 that sees the Nas under Network, mapped drives come up with Green but cant connect via mapped drives that have been setup up for a long time 2yrs+. They do ...

You can use Windows Credential Manager to clear any passwords to the named network connection, which I think is what using teh IP address as an alternate "name" for the NAS is doing.
No. Some Windows PCs have trouble resolving the hostname of the NAS to the IP address - especially with the older NAS like the one here.
Though if the credentials aren't correct you can end up with access problems.

I think you might be affected by Win10 update 2004, they seem to have broken SMBv1, please check this thread on the Microsoft community (12 pages of comments, see top of page 12 for a potential workaround).
That's useful info. But shouldn't that problem make all shares inaccessible? It seems unlikely that it would make some inaccessible, but not others.
I suggest resetting the file permissions on the affected shares first (though of course you could do both at the same time).
I read that as *all* shares from some workstations, so I interpreted that as some Win10 machines have the update and causes all SMBv1 shares to fail. This is what happened to my Win10 update 2004 PC. Win7 all ok, and earlier Win10 updates work ok if SMBv1 is enabled.
Ideally, we would get a patch/update for ReadyNAS firmware 5.3.13 to enable SMBv2, but it's EOL so I doubt that will happen.
I still use my ReadyNAS NV+ v2 as my main family sharing NAS, despite having a RN214 and also a QNAP TS-453B as my planned upgrades for main NAS.... just been too busy, and both will take time to set up properly with connected speakers and TVs etc. OK, I'm making excuses....:smileylol:
