Try reversing your two SMB changes with
sc.exe config lanmanworkstation depend= bowser/mrxsmb10/mrxsmb20/nsi
sc.exe config mrxsmb20 start= autoThose changes shouldn't have had any effect on web browser access anyway, since the browser isn't using SMB.
Like before you need to be running CMD as administrator, and restart when you are finished.
Do you have internet security software running on the PC?

Does it show in RAIDar? If so, what is the status?
- AzraelOct 25, 2016Aspirant
I started up radar and it is able to find the NAS. Status is OK (actually it is german so I don't know what the exact english equvialent is, but it says it's fine). It has the name I gave it lists the model number serial number firmware 6.5.1 the IP and the MAC address as well as all 3 drives.
When I click the link in RAIDAR to get to the admin page it first says something like "You can't access this device with your computer. Please check your network settings" and after a few minutes it opens up a browser page which times out.
When I try to download the protocols it prompts me for the login, which I am not sure which is actually correct because I assume that after the Firmware reinstall it should be default admin-password but anyways I have tried both and it again prompts me the message "You cant access the netgear storage system from this computer. Please check your network settings". And then immediately says that username or password are invalid.
One thing I noticed is, I still get the pwoer down E-Mail which I said to notify me whenever the NAS powers down. Is that an indicator that the firmware wasn't actually reset?

Did you try admin as the username and password as the password?
Also, is the IP address shown in RAIDar in the same range as your PC's address? (It's fine to post those addresses, they are not routable over the internet).

That's fine with an OS reinstall. It only changes the network configuration and the admin password.

Yes I tried "admin" and "password" with the exact same result. First the prompt about you can't access and then the notice of invalid username/password.
The IPv4 of my computer would be 192.168.0.11 and the NAS is at 192.168.0.23
Btw I just check and my windows pc is in a private network with sharing enabled. The NAS is showing as a PC in the network (not as a network storage) and when I click on it the connection times out.
