Shared Folders
Please need help I have setup a readynas 102 on my network created shares and users all with password needed to access folders and files, all looked great and worked fine vial lan or remote access ...
Hello Salv,
Try accessing the NAS via Windows explorer (not Internet Explorer) and type in \\ followed by the LAN IP address of the NAS. When asked for username and password, enter "admin" for username and password is the one you use to log in to the admin page of the ReadyNAS which is "password" by default
Welcome to the community!

Hi JennC
Thanks for the reply
Sorry I think my question was all over the place, I find it a little hard explaining via text
I have no problem accessing folders or files
The problem is that other systems on local land via windows explorer see the folders (Browse Folders-Music-Video-Pictures) and can access them with no need of user name and passwords, all files can be edited.
But from the same systems on local land if try and access the nas via web browser or network,user name and passwords required
Also why are the folders named differently in windows explorer as to what they are named on the nas eg Video should be Vids and Pictures should be PicsEven though tere are other folders on the nas only (Browse Folders-Music-Video-Pictures) show up in windows explorer
This has eventuated since 6.6.1 upgrade
also Antivirus plus disappeared
Speed of nas access has dropped drastically
ThanksSalv
Hello Salv,
Can you access those folders that are named differently? Do they have the same files as shown on the admin page's Shares' files?
AntiVirus plus was removed automatically because the embedded AntiVirus has been updated and Netgear changed to another provider. I guess we'll have to wait for a new AntiVirus plus app.

Hi JennC
Thanks for the quick reply
Yes can access all folders and files
Yes same files although folder names and structure different
I have included some pics to show you
1 Shows how the nas shows up in windows explorer

Thanks
