Can't access (Do not have permission) yet it was working prior
My RN10400 was working and I could get access to all my files via Windows explorer. I just installed another NAS on my network (computer and NAS all go into a switch). But now I can't get access...
You must have a space after the t: and you must not have a space after /user:
Use "data" instead of FOLDER (unless you named your volume something different - the default is "data").
Of course use the real adminpassword, not the placeholder.
so first command seems to have deleted it successfully.
second command doesn't seem to work though.... or I'm not entering it correctly. but I've entered it a few different ways.
ie- net use t:\\OLDNAS\FOLDER /user: admin adminpassword
net use t:\\192.168.1.22\FOLDER /user: admin adminpassword

Sweet. That worked. What was the issue? How do I prevent that from happening again?
It suggests that the problem is with the credentials windows is using. One next step is to try the two commands again, using the nas name (OLDNAS) instead of its IP address (to confirm that both options work).
Then open the windows credential manager (enter "credential manager" in the windows search bar), and delete any credentials you see there for the old NAS. Then create new ones. You can use the admin credentials you just used with the mapped drive letter, or you can use a different user account that you have on the NAS.
Windows treats the ip address and the name as two different machines - so you probably want to create credentials for both.
I don't see any setting for the old nas in credential manager.
NET USE works only when I use the NAS name and not IP address. As well, it only seems to work when I use admin. When I use an account on the NAS that matches my login to the computer it seems to do that duplicate login issue and error out.
thanxs for the info. It's a learning expereince and at least I can get the NAS working on my mutliple computers now.
