After ReadyNAS name change cannot access shares
After a ReadyNAS name change I can no longer access shares. It shows up on the network under the new name. Can ping it by name and IP. Just cannot access it from other network machines. Firmw...
Got it going finally. Had to rename it, remove the original from AD, switch from AD authentication and then back and all is well.
Tried this, but didn't think it would work. The shares don't show up at all even though the ReadyNAS does. From Windows I get a network path not found error. I have a second ReadyNAS and it sees the problem NAS without issue. In fact I'm in the process of backing up the one I can't access to the second NAS in preparation for doing a factory reset on the problem device should it become necessary.
Usually this problem is related to windows credentials - if so a factory reset won't solve it.
Another simple test is to rename the NAS back to the original name, and see if the problem disappears.
Well, I gave it the original name and when trying to access it got prompted for credentials, but the AD credentials were not working. So, imported the AD accounts again and it rebooted on its own. Now when I try to login to the interface it sits at the spash screen for about a minute then gives me the Connecting to the ReadyNAS Admin Page. From there it sits with VERY slow progress bar and eventually says the page is offline.
I didn't realize you were using AD. That's likely related (but unfortunately I don't have enough practical experience with it to give you help on that).

It may be related. I'm moving everything off that unit to a new one and will probably factory reset this one just to start fresh with the new firmware. I can remove all remnants of it in AD and see what happens. Thanks for the replies.
