I have the latest slerra 10.12.5, and it is not slow, it just denies registered user access. I will try the cifs connection this weekend. (However, I believe I had problems with that a few years ago.) Is my NAS setup correct? Confused as to why I have Guest ownership and anonymous access set up.

I do not see CIFS access protocol in the ReadyNAS Admin page. I still must access as Guest, whether SMB or AFP from my Macbook. Many others are there, but not CIFS. I have SMB, NFS, AFP enabled, and others are there, but my password is being rejected, which i know is correct.

The links seem to point to the old FrontView formatted pages, not those with my 314.

I remain totally baffled.

Sorry that I wasn't more clear.

The suggestion was to try cifs:// in finder (instead of smb:// ), leaving the ReadyNAS configuration alone. CIFS is an old version of SMB that sits between SMB 1 and SMB 2.0

  Had to use the IP address, and the Admin user/password. Unclear why what I had before no longer works.

    How do I set a username and password on Shares via the ReadyNAS Admin page? (Don't remember doing this before) I hate to have to use the Admin password.
