Rebuilt Win 7 PC cannot connect to ReadyNAS Duo
Hi, I have a ReadyNAS Duo V1 and it's been working fine for well over a year. I have a number of Windows Vista, 7 and 8 PC's on my network and they can connect to the shares on the ReadyNas without...
I'm sorry for not presenting a solution. My problem is, however, very similar to the actual problem related to a ReadyNAS Duo Version1.
It was started 3-4 years ago from a W2k-PC but not really used since, and I have now forgotten the password.
I found some info related to "retrieve the password" but this is not working. Does anyone how how to initiate?
I then looked into a HW manual (for V2 ???) and this worked apparently neither. (I have later found that v2 on my Duo does NOT mean Version 2). The exercise resulted in a reset of the password, but then I had moved to a PackardBell laptop where I installed RAIDar and it worked OK including the "setup-button", so I thought my problem was solved - BUT...
My problems is now very similar to mr_yogi's
I have found NO way through Win7 to the Duo. Only the RAIDar (excluding the "Browse-button") and the "http:<ip no>/admin" works.
My reason for telling this comes now. I have another PC (a media PC used only for watching TV) also with Win7 and on the same LAN. When I tried to enter Win-explorer on this PC the Duo was immediately accessible under Network and I can assign drive-letter as needed, in short, no apparent problems.
My conclusion is that the problem is stored inside Win7 in my PackardBell and not in the Duo.
Are there some Windows addicts that can translate this into useful knowledge?
On my mediaPC in Win-explorer the Duo appears 3 times: 1)Computer 2)Storage 3)Media
On PackardBell the 1)Computer entry is missing --- 2) and 3) is OK
During my exercise I have updated the Duo to version 4.1.10 I don't recall the previous version.
