ReadyNas Duo no Access

Hello,

since yesterday i have some problems to access my ReadyNas Duo over the CIFS-FileSystem of Windows.

So I have one PC which is abled to access the CIFS-FileSystem without any problems.
But there is another PC in my network which cant't access the NAS over the FileSystem.
Both PCs are abled to PING the NAS over the IP, both PCs can see this NAS on the Raidar and both PCs are abled to access the AdminControlPanel.

But one PC can't ping the NAS over the NAS' hostname and isn't able to access the NAS over the FileSystem.

Both PCs and the NAS are in the same Network

Has anyone an idea,what the Problem is?

    Are you accessing both NAS filesystems by \\hostname\folder
    what happens if you use \\xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx\folder instead (use the NAS IP and not its hostname).
