ReadyNAS Duo admin page is wonky on Chrome and IE; can't setup local permissions reliably
RAIDiator 4.1.14 I have a ReadyNAS Duo that is out of warranty for support. I rebuilt my Windows 7 x64 PC yesterday and can access the admin page of the DUO but can't reliably set permissions to ...

No, and newer NAS only have the built-in frontview backup (and readycloud). AFAIK there is no special support for shadow in the NAS - it was just a bundle. So you could just buy a current copy (nticorp is selling it for $19.99 at the moment).
Is it possible that shadow is running as a service (and therefore running under a different account?) You might try going into the windows credential manager and adding a windows credential for the NAS. Perhaps also check the share permissions on whatever share shadow is using, and make sure the credentials you use have write permission to that share.
FWIW, I have a duo, but have always backed with Acronis.
HI Jenn,
I'm connect now (by hostname) just fine and my backups are working as well. Using original NTI Shadow for ReadyNAS software (don't know if there is anything superceding this).
Anyway, I set up a user/pw on the ReadyNAS and can access the shares withit, however, I get prompted each and every reboot for this and even though I have checked "Remember my credentials" (and has *** characters populated), I actually have to re-input the pw in order for the PC to commincate to those shares.
How cna this be fixed to auth automatically 
What version of windows are you using?
I saw something similar with vista when using "admin" as the username. I never did find a fix (other than dumping vista).
I haven't seen this with win7 or win10.
I am running Windows 7
So I set the password for the Ready NAS local security User the SAME as my Local Windows password thinking this would fix it... but still, the "NTI Shadow for ReadyNAS" application (my backup from 2009) doens't actually remember the password.
Each time Windows starts (and Shadow launches) I get prompted for the pw.
I think this software is too old in the tooth. Hasn't it been supceded by somehting else from Netgear I could doanload and try?
thanks,
Hi saxguy1,
When you said that you set the same password for your local ReadyNAS and PC user, I suppose that you can login to your shares without getting a prompt. Maybe this is a problem with the NTI shadow backup software. Would it bother you if you will try it on another PC?
Kind regards,
