Problems connecting to shares at Windows startup
I have a ReadyNAS Duo, which has 4 shares set up on it. I have a PC, running W7 and access the shares from that, where I have used the "Map to Network Drive" option to allocate each to a drive lett...
Well, it seems to be sorted!!!! Not sure what it was, but, I did the following.....
Made 2 shares "Available Offline" and then changed it back
Deleted the entry in Credentials Manager and added on using the IP address - with it like this, I was having trouble accessing files on NAS
Deleted the entry in Credentials Manager and added one like before (using device name)
Disconnected shares from W7, re-booted and re-connected them
Amongst that lot, there were plenty of re-boots!
Anyway, the top and bottom of it is that I now fire up the PC and all 4 shares are connected fine - I am a happy bunny, now!
Thanks for all advice and suggestions
