Hi Bob
You didn't say if your son uses the same PC but I will assume he does.
I've been looking after a client's Duo V2 for around a year now with four users and four different OS's.
Firstly if your Duo V2 was not new then it may have been upgraded by the previous owner. I recommend a factory reset as a starting point and use RAIDAR to rebuild your disks using X2 redundancy. Took me around an hour to do this.
Once rebuilt, make sure you have ticked "Automatic Permissions" on your recreated shares.
Next make sure that your ReadyNAS account usernames and passwords match your Windows Accounts and Passwords exactly.
After these changes reboot ensuring you tick "Volume Check" and remap your drives
Bear in mind permissions are only on the entire share, not subfolders. Ensure your mappings are on the share itself and not a folder within.
Hopefully this will help.
