Cannot connect discovery server
Hi, had my readynas 104 for 10 months with three x 3TB drives fitted - all working well - but had occasional failed transfers to it but this seems to have cleared up till recently. I spotted it wasn't on the network the other day, pressing the power button briefly showed it was happy, 73% space remaining and the fixed ip address. Still couldn't connect to it.
Pressing the backup button for 5s to try the reconnect and is says cannot connect discovery server. It stays like this for some time - about 5 minutes, and then screen goes off and hitting the power button all seems fine on the display. Still not on the network.
No idea where to go next with this.
Help please.
Richard.

- Maybe try disabling SMB and then re-enabling?
Also, perhaps delete any credentials in the windows credential manager. - I had the same issue. Moved to Eth1 or the other ethernet input and started working again. I was doing quite a bit of button mashing trying to understand a different issue, but the settings were still good. Beta FW fixed it for me.
- disabling SMB and then re-enabling...??
what's that then?
OK I googled it and found this page

Never used powershell before - I guess I just type it in like in a dos box? Said requested registry access not allowed.
I've already tried the other ethernet port. - Probably you need to run powershell (or the registry editor) as admin.
There is also an SMB plus add-on for the RN104 which gives you more control over SAMBA settings. (http://apps.readynas.com/pages/?page_id=9) - I did run it as admin - nothing. Also, as I can't get access to the nas as admin, anything else I can do is limited.
Help! - Are you using static IP. If so, try switching to DHCP and also make sure IPv6 is enabled and also DHCP, at least temporarily. To be sure the new settings take reboot the NAS. I also had discovery server issues that I found were somehow linked to IPv6 and possibly static IP.
- I was unable to connect to the discovery server until I switched from a static IP back to DHCP.
I now use the router to always assign a fixed IP to the mac address of the NAS. - Yep, I would say this is an issue that Netgear needs to address.
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk - I have the same issue, I can see my NAS (ping and in file explorer) but can't access the web portal... Can anyone help?
This is likely not the same issue.aerostef wrote: I have the same issue, I can see my NAS (ping and in file explorer) but can't access the web portal... Can anyone help?
Are you running 6.2.2 firmware? If so, did the problem begin when you uninstalled an app?
