I am running MS Server 2008r2 - and have had difficulty finding the SMB1 you had mentioned - does it apply with my software?
No, that would only apply to Win10.
What happens if you run CMD (the windows command prompt) and enter
net use * /delete /y net use t: \\nas-ip-address\C /user:admin nas-admin-password
using the real NAS ip address and admin password of course.
Be careful on the typing (both the two slash types and the spaces). The first command will terminate any open SMB sessions. The second attempts to mount the NAS data volume as drive letter t.
Note this won't work if your NAS admin password is the default netgear1. So if that's your situation, you'll need to change it before trying these commmands.

I'm wondering if this could be a workgroup name conflict but I can't find the workgroup setting in the RAIDar software. Where would I check and change the workgroup setting?
Thx

Stephen -
You nailed it... thanks for the help you saved my bacon!
One last question - my NAS unit lost power and is now in Reboot: Check FS: which will take about 3 days to complete.
Is there any way I can turn that off or bypass?

If you value your data, you don't want to do that, as it is happening for a reason.
