Login to ReadyNAS / map a network drive
Hi, I'm trying to map my nas drive on windows 7 however I am unable to do so. I can access the NAS via the admin page on Google Chrome however it is very slow and tempremental transfering and managin...
Hi Odd_Job_007
In addition to Brian's suggestions, you could also try entering the following in Window CMD
net use * /delete
net use Z:\ \\NASIP /user:admin password
Where NASIP is the IP address of the NAS and password is the admin password for the NAS.
The direction of slashes matters, so be careful there.
What model of NAS do you have (and what firmware is it running)?
Brian and Stephen, thanks for your replies.
Stephen, finally it has worked and I have used CMD to map a directory from the nas using Z. However it is only a single directory with subs but I need to map the root but I am unable to do this.
I am using the RN104 OS version 6.2.4
Thanks

Hi Odd_Job_007,
Try these steps.
1. Open CMD and use net use t: \\ip.address.of.nas\data /user:admin
2. Then enter the password for 'admin' to connect.
t: is a sample drive letter
Hope this helps!
Kind regards,
