Did you remember to share that directory on the PC? Windows has both file permissions and network access permissions. So you do need to share the computer folder, and make sure that the network access on that share allows the NAS user to access it remotely.

What firmware is your RN102 running?
Thanks for you reply !
My ReadyNAS 102 is running the 6.5.2 firmware.
Thanks for the link. I think i didn't make the directory accessible remotely. I'm going to investigate and come back if i don't make any progress.
Thank you !
I didn't manage to make it work.
I did everything they say in the link you gave me but in vain, still have the same issue.
The weird thing is that when i use the test button, it tells me that everything is ok.
I have no idea what to do now.
Do you have a second windows PC? If so, try accessing the PC share with the same credentials from the second PC.
