ReadyNAS regulary drops connection
Hi guys, We have a ReadyNAS 516 which is used as our main source of fileshare/storage - We are a mixed environment of PC's (windows 7-10) and Mac's. We find that throughout the day we have regula...
you running an server there using ipv6?
fwiw I had similar issues before I disabled ipv6 on nas nics.
Hi,
We do not have a server, BUT i can see IPv6 is enabled on the NIC of the NAS, I will disable it and see if that has an improvement,
Thanks for the suggestion!
fwiw I have one sitting at remote location with no server yet the comcast modem has ipv6 on by default (firmware does not allow disabling) which caused issues with lan shares. so possibly could still help disabling.
it does take full day of use to know for sure though.
That's good to know.
I have made the changes, will see what feedback i get from the users,
Fingers crossed!

Windows 10 will often use ipv6 link-local addresses by preference, so disabling ipv6 in the NAS can help even if ipv6 is disabled in the router.
Of course if your network needs ipv6, then you shouldn't disable it.
yeah if running server 2012r2 or higher essentails (or full server with essentials role) you may need it.
I was lucky on the remote locations as my essentials connectors still worked fine with ipv6 disabled on all clients due to yet another comcast modem not following the stateful/stateless seettings and only trating the server 2012r2 essentials as ipv6 dhcp server.
however on the nas box itself I do not think it would matter realy, so interested to see if disabling works.
right here at home running 2 full server 2012r2 servers, one with essentials role and ipv6 enabled dhcp role second exchange 2013.
my modem bridged to netgear fvs336gv3 and ipv6 enabled on clients which are domain joined.
both my 104 and 314 nas units have ipv6 disabled with zero access issues including from 2 NON domain linux mint systems and 2 rasp pi units
