All disks DEAD - Everything works .... ReadyNAS Ultra 6 Plus

Thanks again.

When i write in explorer \\Modesty i dont get access

When i write \\192.168.x.xx i get a view of shares, but when i click on Modesty i get login and my credentials dont kick in.

I have to say, are this possible, to not be able to connect via explorer to NAS, i thougth that was the sole purpose....

Try opening the windows credential manager.  Delete any credential that might be in there for Modesty.  Then add a new credential (using a NAS username and it's password).

If you want to test this first, run CMD (from the windows search bar).  Then enter

net use * /delete
net use t: \\Modesty\sharename /user:username userpassword

The first command terminates any open SMB sessions.  If it prompts, let it proceed.  The second attempts to mount the share as drive letter T.

Be careful on the typing - particularly spaces and slash direction.

I changed \\Modesty to \\NASip, then it mounted

In WIN7 should i use switch /persistent for the net use command.

 

Is it posible to reach share from WAN side like a remote mounted drive?

(NAT in router is configured with open ports/forward)

Do you mean with the net use commands, or in file explorer?  The net use commands were suggested as a test - to check if CMD also had a problem resolving the NAS name.  Though of course you can use them routinely if you like.

There's no sure-fire method I know of to get name resolution to always work.  You can just use the IP address, or add an entry to the hosts file on the PC.  Those of course are just workarounds.

You can if you want it to be remounted automatically when you reboot.  Sometimes that doesn't quite take, and you still need to remount it manually.

It's not safe to forward the ports for SMB (or worse to put the NAS in the DMZ), so don't do those things.  I replied to your other post on this.
