Doesn't show up in my Network, can't map drive
Windows 10 Pro
Shows up under "Storage" but not under "Computer"
Can ping it fine
browser to IP works fine (http://192.168.1.237/admin)
Made sure SMB 1.0, both client and server, was installe...
I tried it in Internet Explorer, Chrome, and Edge. Clear cache on all of them and re-tried. No luck. The SMB option keeps auto-turning off on its own.
I reset factory settings on the device and that worked. Now the drive shows in the Network.
The Home Folder for users added are inaccessible by anyone. Even the user they are created for.
The setting for Home Folder is set to SMB enabled. I don't see any other settings.
Any ideas?
Normally the home folders are created with the user connects to the NAS using SMB (file explorer). Of course that requires the user to connect with the proper credentials (NAS username and password). You might try doing this manually from the windows command line:
net use * /delete
net use t: \\nas-ip-address\username /user:username userpassword
The "net use" command results in "Access is denied"
Well, when I map the drive I can access any directory except the Home Folder. My credentials get me logged in to the drive and I can access the other directories. I've double and triple checked the password matches. Since the user credentials don't work, I tried accessing the Home Folder with the admin credentials, and that was also denied.
In the ReadyNas admin page under "Shares" the Home Folder show "admin" for Permissions. Doesn't seem to be a way to change it. However, even with admin credentials, I can't map it.
Any ideas?
You can map the entire data volume with NAS admin credentials (though not just home).
net use t: \\nas-ip-address\data /user:admin nas-admin-password
(assuming your data volume is called data).
