What kind of ReadyNAS Pro is this?

Is it a ReadyNAS Pro Business Edition, ReadyNAS Pro Pioneer, Pro 2, Pro 4 or Pro 6? Looking at your forum join date, I'm guessing probably a Pioneer or a Business Edition.

If it is a Pro Pioneer then like the Ultra 6 Plus the security mode will be set to User mode and you won't see an option to change security mode.

Edit: Ah, I see from searching your posts that you have a Pioneer.

Shares > Security > Security Mode - doesnt exist

Under Shares - there is only Share Listing and Add Shares

...Pioneer Pro

That's because you have the Pioneer. It's a model for the advanced home user. It only has one security mode, User mode, and that can't be changed. The Ultra 6 Plus is the successor to the ReadyNAS Pro Pioneer Edition (same CPU and a model a_burger_with_fries is probably more familiar with). The Ultra vs Pro naming is a bit clearer than Pioneer vs Business Edition.

Go to Share Listing, click on a protocol for a share e.g. CIFS. Then you will see tabs for different protocols that are enabled such as CIFS, AFP etc. and an Advanced tab at the far right.

Have you tried an OS reinstall? then try to release ownership of the share, if it still not allowing you to access.

...er...yeah ...i know, i only mentioned what was there, because thats where the security setting was supposed to be

@a_burger_with_fries

an OS install, seems some what excessive, when everything else is working.
- i assume i then have to recreate all settings / shares etc new then ?

I have upped the samba logging, but get nothing there when trying to access it from windows 7.
Are there any other logs maybe worth looking at ?

- renaming the folder over ssh does not help
