Network path not found
Here is my issue. Everything was working fine, Ive been using my ReadyNAS for about 2 years. Minor issues happen but they tend to fix with a restart. I access my ReadyNAS on a Mac and a PC running Win...
Entering the IP address allows me to access the NAS files. When I enter the name of the NAS (\\NAS-C1-DE-8A\LoneStarPress) it wont connect but the window lets me "diagnose" the problem. Here is what the diagnostics says:
"Make sure the computer or device is turned on and connected to the network. Windows can't find "NAS-C1-DE-8A". If the computer or devise you are trying to reach is near by, make sure it is turned on and connected to the network. Otherwise, contact your network administrator for assistance."
We know that we can access the NAS since I can access it on the Mac and we just were able to access it through the the IP address.
What is our next step?
Note the main reason I have the NAS set up as drives on the PC is so I can save an offsite backup through Carbonite.
