RN102 will not accept SMB/CIFS network map requests from any Windows 8.1 machine
After the recent upgrades to 6.5x, I have not been able to map the shares on my RN102. I made sure that the shares have SMB enabled and anonymous access checked. This did not happen before the upgr...

I've seen a few of these now, and so far the solution is to add/replace credentials for the NAS in the windows credentials manager.
Try this as a test. Open CMD and enter
net use * /delete
net use t: \\nasipaddress\data /user:admin nasadminpassword
using the real ip address and admin password of course. If you aren't using the default xraid, use the real volume name instead of "data".
First command terminates any open network sessions, and if it prompts let it proceed. The second attempts to mount the NAS data volume as PC drive letter t. Let us know if that works (or how it fails).
Hi Zonker,
Are you using ReadyCLOUD? If you will use or upgrade to 6.5.1, tell us if you will get the same behavior.

Hi Stephen,
Unfortunately no luck. Here is the results:
C:\Windows\system32>net use * /delete
There are no entries in the list.
C:\Windows\system32>net use n: \\192.168.0.94\data /user:admin password
System error 53 has occurred.The network path was not found.

Did you ever set the NAS admin password?
I believe the mounting of the data volume is only enabled if you do change the admin password from the default. So maybe do that, and try the net use again.
