Real Trouble !
I'm in even further trouble with my ReadyNAS NV+. The suggestions made here prompted me with enough information to reconnect to my wireless router (which comes off my ADSL wired router) and I could ag...
It has been a hard and long journey but at last I think I have solved it !
Moving from XP to Windows 7 brought extra problems about access to my NAS NV+.
I have now changed just about every username and password on my computers (except those to access my broadband supplier) to be the same, and I find that it is also NECESSARY to add a password to EVERY share on the NAS - something I never did in XP !
Following a factory reset I can now add or delete shares, access them fully through Windows Explorer from every computer on the network with no problems at all. I am puzzled however why the two shares that appeared automatically after the reset - backup and media - do not need a password, although all other shares do ?
The need for a password for every share (including USB drives) is strange, and needing to change usernames and passwords on all machines is a chore, but I'm so pleased to be up and working again that I'm leaving it all as it is for now. When I have the time, I shall experiment to see just what passwords - and where - Windows 7 requires and I'll come back here if I find out.
In the meantime, my thanks to all who have helped me. I appreciate your interest.
