ReadyNAS Duo can't access data from windows 7

I have connected my duo with an ethernet cable to my Windows 7 machine.

 

-  I have changed the address in the duo to 168.192.1.66 and mask of 255.255.255.0.

-  RaidAr can see the device (displays address of 192.168.1.66.

-  I can access Frontview from RaidAR screen.

-  I can successfully ping 192.168.1.66.

 

My problem is that I can't access the data stored on the duo.  If I put https://192.168.1.66 in

the Windows Explorer, I am taken to the Frontview admin screen.

 

What am I doing wrong?  I really need to get to the data stored on the duo.

 

Thanks,

 

Warren Mundy

    You enter \\192.168.1.66 into windows explorer.  Note the direction of the slashes.

      Hi revluz4,

       

      You may  also want to use the RAIDar 4.3.8 and click the "Browse" button to access your files locally. In the future, you may want to map the shares on your PC for ease of access.

       

       

      Kind regards,

        I installed RaidAR 4.3.8 and it can see the Duo with no problems.  When I use the browse button, nothing happens for about a minute and the error message "Windows can not find \\192.168.1.66.  the error code returned is 0x80070035.

         

        Does the Duo have to be in the same Homegroup as the PC?

         

        Thanks
