New NAS user- can't access shares directly (only in browser)
I just got the ReadyNAS 102 and got it up and running in it's (mostly) default setup mode. As it all is now, I have an ATT U-verse combined wireless modem/router. It has four ethernet ports that I use...
BTW, you have a duo v1, not a v2. There's a longer explanation here: http://www.rnasguide.com/2012/01/09/how ... -or-nv-v2/
Do you have the NAS set to user or share mode security? To tell, log into Frontview and click on the "security" tab. If you only see "admin password" and "user and group accounts", then you have user mode security. If you see "share mode", select it, you will end up on a screen that lets you choose between share and user. User mode is more compatible with newer versions of windows (which is why Netgear deprecated share mode some time ago).
Then try going into windows credential manager (control panel), and see if there are any credentials for the NAS. If there are, delete them.
Do you have Windows HomeGroup enabled (it should show up in the Windows Explorer Navigation Pane on the left). If so, was it enabled on the old PC?
Either way, I'd try disabling it. There's a guide here: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/27091/ho ... windows-7/ The guide includes instructions for enabling it again, so this is completely reversible.
If the above resulted in any changes, then try again.
Assuming you are in user mode security on the NAS, then try mapping the C share using the CMD prompt.
run CMD by entering it in the windows search bar. Then enter
and provide the NAS admin password when prompted.
This command tells windows to map the C volume of the NAS to the "T" drive letter.
