Different shares when using IP / hostname with ReadyNas 528X
Hey
I have a problem, which is as follows:
My Network looks like this: Netgear Orbi, with DHCP Enabled = True .
My ReadyNas has a fixed IP adress (192.168.1.18). On Orbi, I have reserved t...
Your screenshot shows that you are accessing 192.168.1.18 with admin credentials (you are seeing admin, data, and home in the share list).
What happens if you enter this via cmd:
net use * /delete
net use t: \\mynas\data /user:admin nas-admin-password
using the real nas admin password of course. Be careful on the typing (spaces and slash direction).
The first command will end any open SMB sessions. The second will attempt to mount the NAS admin volume (accessing it by hostname) as drive letter T. If that works, see if you get the correct share list there.

What could that be? - It looks like with using the DNS the shares don't get mounted correct?
No. DNS is just a way to associate the NAS name with it's IP address.
First try pinging mynas from the PC, and make sure it is reaching the ReadyNAS IP address.
Assuming it is, then the second step is to check the Windows credential manager, and see if there is a credential entered there for either 192.168.1.18 or mynas.
Hey
No, I have deleted the Credentials as you provided, but nothing happens.
I attach an screenshot
1) Connecting by IP => Works
2) Connecting by Hostname => Gives wrong data
3) Ping with IP goes correct...
Please keep on helping ;)

THX for your post.
I think, I found the solution with your help!
I tried your steps, but it ended up with error 1219, when using the net use
Then I run "net use" there I saw a "zombie mount" which was "\\mynas\run"
after deleting this mount, i started my PC new and added the new network resource.
Now it seems to work correctly
THX a lot!
