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...

yes I'm on 6.5.1 and can access using ReadyCLOUD. The problem is mapping the shares using Windows File Explorer.
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).
Stephen,
Thanks again for all the help. What I think is happening is that Windows is not presenting a dialog box to initially log into the volume. So without the initial login prompt, no credentials are being created for the ReadyNAS. Not sure why that would happen.

Again, if there are no stored credentials, windows first presents the user's windows credentials to the NAS. If that is rejected, then Windows is supposed to give the dialog box you are talking about.
That would suggest that the NAS isn't actually rejecting the user credentials, but instead is accepting them, but isn't giving the user the access they were getting before. Is the local windows account username also a local username on the NAS? Is it also a ReadyCloud account?

Yes my Windows Login is my email address and (after the switchover to ReadyCloud in 6.5) that is the same as my ReadyCloud account. The passwords are different. Prior to this, the usernames were not the same. So I think you are on to something. Nice catch.
