Cannot access NAS unless I keep changing NAS Host name
READYNAS NV+ v2 with 4 3TB WD Red RAIDiator 5.3 RAIDar 4.3.4 Setup as Flex Raid JBOD with 4 volumes c,d,e,f Windows XP and Windows7 I found recently that sometimes I would switch the NAS on, tr...
The 4 volumes on the NAS which represent each harddrive I have mapped to drive letters on the windows system.
There are the default shared folders of media and backup which are on the c volume but I haven't mapped any drive to them.
When I restart the Windows PC the problem remains....I must go into dashboard change the network name of the NAS, then I can change the network name back to what it was before and the network drives will work when I click on them and I am able to browse the volumes on the NAS.
I wrote in my first post that the windows XP popup error is "Microsoft Windows Network : The local device is already in use. The connection has not been restored."
But i got this windows XP popup error saying "\\Nas not accessible. You might not have permission to use that network resource. Contract the adminstrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions. The network path was not found"
When I change the name of the NAS I don't get any error and I can browse the network to the volumes on the NAS.
Could it have something to so with user name and passwords on the NAS....I haven't set up any users on the NAS (on the sercurity tab on dashboard)
My windows logon is "Admin"....the NAS dashboard won't let me add the user "Admin" maybe this has something to do with it?
