Raidar on Windows 7
I am running Raidar as suggested by Netgear Support to enable my Windows 7 Home Premium notebook to use my home networked ReadyNAS/NV+ . Raidar finds the ReadyNAS, and tries to go to https://192.168.0.194/admin/, but I cannot get passed a Windows Security dialog box which says "The server is asking for your user name and password. The server reports that it is from Control Panel." There follow the usual User Name and Password fields. I have tried every UN and PW that I can think of but no go. On my networked computer I can access the target site. What name and password is either Windows or Netgear asking for? I have tried turning off various Windows 7 protections but no go.

- It wants the admin credentials for the NAS. The default admin password is either netgear1 or password, depending on whether you have v1 product or a v2 product.
- Thanks StephenB, admin as the user name and netgear1 as password worked to get me past the Windows Security dialog box. I then went through the long ReadyNAS set up expert. At the end I registered as requested. Then when I tried MS Backup and Restore, it still could not see the ReadyNAS. I have seen a post that says that Windows 7 Home Premium has the backup via a network intentionally blocked. Presumably this is MS trying to sell its upgrades to Windows 7 Professional and Windows 7 Ultimate. MS did a technically good if morally shabby job.
- I use Acronis backup, which is happy to save its image backups to the NAS.
