Getting to a ReadyNAS web page from WIndows 10 Network page

In Windows 7, one could easily get to a ReadyNAS admin page by clicking on the ReadyNAS icon in the Network window.  That got broken in Windows 8.  Now in Windows 10, it is still broken.  Instead of simply sending me to the IP address of the device (like windows 7) I get a Cached bit of HTML from some deep hidden User Dir.  Most annoying.

 

Any way to fix this behavor?

    Hello rjwerth,

     

    Have you tried different web browsers on the Win10 machine?

    Can you access the files stored to the NAS using the Win10 machine?

     

    Regards,

      I've tried Firefox (my default) and IE.  Both are behaving a bit differently, but neither simply go to the ip address of the server like Windows 7 did.  They both ultimately just error out.

        Is this only an issue if you click on the icon?

         

        That is, if you navigate to https://nasipaddress/admin, or https://nasname/admin it works ok?

      If you right-click on the icon and choose "properties", you should see the "device web page" listed.  What URL are you seeing there?

        That is, of course, the same as double clicking the icon.  The URL Firefox is bringing up is: file:///C:/Users/Robert/AppData/Local/Microsoft/Windows/INetCache/IE/A3W76XZA/815I8KYH.  Not at all as simple as 192.168.X.X/admin for sure.....
