ReadyNas refusing to connect
Hi Folks,
I have, yes very old, ReadyNAS-NV. I think the last firmware update was V4.2.28.
I recently moved house and updated to windows 10, obviously not a good idea to do both at the same t...
RAIDar shows that you have a NV+ v1 ReadyNAS running the current (and likely final) 4.1.16 firmware.
Try this on the win7 machine:
Run the command prompt (CMD). That will open a black text window.
type
net use * /delete
net use t: \\192.168.0.5\C /user:admin nas-admin-password
using the real admin password of the NAS of course. Be careful on the different slash directions and the spaces.
The first command will terminate any open network sessions. If it prompts, tell it to proceed. The second command attempts to mount the NAS data volume as drive letter T on the PC. Let us know what happens.
Hi Stephen,
1) On tha back it say RND4250
2) The firmware number was from the last email I had showing an automated update. Cant access the NAS so unable to say for sure
3) Not sure how to update firmware given I cannot access the nas
4) Yes, I do not think it is a win 10 issue as and I tried it on a win 7 machine and still did not access it.
Managed to identify firmware via a Netgear Raidar utility and connecting directly to my PC (still cant access the nas via browser but the utility says it is healthy) version is 4.1.16
