Cannot access ReadyNAS Duo from Windows 11
Since I upgraed to Windows 11 I cannot access my ReadyNAS Duo from Windows.
If I try to open a mapped share in File Explorer I get an error:
---------------------------
Restoring Network Connections
---------------------------
An error occurred while reconnecting U: to
\\henrietta\userdocs
Microsoft Windows Network: The local device name is already in use.
This connection has not been restored.
Right clicking the mapped drive gets me a whirling circle for a few seconds and then nothing happens.
I can ping the IP address (192.168.3.11) and the "symbolic" name from acommand prompt OK.
Raidar doesn't detect the device (although it does detect another ReadyNAS on the network OK)
Using a browser to go \\192.168.3.1 says:
Your file couldn’t be accessed
It may have been moved, edited, or deleted.
ERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND
ANyone got any ideas?
Is there a way I can take the drives out to retrieve the data and then factory reset the ReadyNAS?

net use * /delete /y net use U: \\henrietta\userdocs
Be careful on the typing, especially the two different slash directions.
If that fails the same way, try
net use * /delete /y net use U: \\henrietta\userdocs /user:admin nas-admin-password
useing the real NAD admin password of course.

Oh, wow! Yes, that (the first option) has fixed it - thanks so much, Stephen :)
