ReadyNAS and El Capitan - Problems!

Hello,

 

I am running El Capitan (OSX 10.11) on my Mac laptop.

 

I have 3 shares on my ReadyNAS Duo V2, using the latest version of RAIDar (6.1) I can see the device (which is plugged into the router on my network) & it shows I have the latest firmware (5.3.11).

 

The admin page is accessible - and confirms when I check for updates that the firmware is current (i.e. no updates to apply).

 

I have setup both AFP and SMB protocols on all shares.

 

From my Mac I can manually mount & access SMB shares, but am getting nothing in the finder for AFP but am seeing PT-NAS (CIFS) which I assume is for SMB access (but this doesn't allow me to connect either).

 

It looks as though the latest OS version is broken for access to the NAS - help!

 

Thanks,

Peter Thompson

  • I just checked and I can connect to my Duo v2 via AFP without any issue. I am running 10.11.2 at the moment.

    This sounds like a discovery issue. You might want to try globally turning off the AFP service then starting it again.

     

    In the Finder if you go to Go > Connect to Server, can you connect to afp://192.168.1.50 ?

    Hi PeterWgtnNZ,

     

    Welcome to the community!

     

    Try to disable and enable the AFP protocol on those shares and once enabled, ensure Everyone is set to R/W and the Allow Anonymous Access checkbox is ticked. Resetting the permission of the said share is also a procedure you can try if the above suggestion didn't work.

     

    Device Software Manual - check pages 33-35

     

    Hope this helps!

     

     

    Kind regards,
