Can't connect to ready via windows explorer any more
I have read many threads about this subject and have tried everything mentioned with no success.
I rearanged my office and unplugged everything while moving. I plugged everything back in and everything mostly works.
I can access my ReadyNAS in several ways, but I can't access it in windows explorer by name or IP anymore.
I can access the nas in chrome by going to http://192.168.1.23/admin/ I can't access it in explorer by going to \\192.168.1.23\share
I am able to ping the nas using both the name and the ip.
SMB permissions are set up for everyone to have read/write
I use a program called SyncBack Free to backup some directories on my computer to my nas. This worked until yesterday. now it can't access the nas via IP.
Here are some screenshots of the issue and some info.
Let me know if I can suplly any additional information.
Thanks!
Hello seamusvibe,
How about just \\ followed by the NAS IP? Have you also tried disabling and re-enabling SMB in the admin page of the NAS? And on another computer?

Does the PC still have the network set to "home", "private" or "work"?
Did the IP address of the NAS change?
My pc has it's network set to private. I don't hink that has changed
Yes, the IP did change. It was 192.168.1.5 before, now it's 192.168.1.23.
