Hi, Since updating to the latest firmware 6.9.1 from 6.9.0 i can no longer access the readynas through windows explorer. My laptop is operating Windows 10. WE detects the readynas but will not connect to it. I had no issues prior to the latest firmware date. Error code from WE is 0x80070035 The network path was not found. Please Help!!

What happens if you open CMD and then enter net use * /delete net use t: \\nas-ip-address\data /user:admin nas-admin-password Use the real IP address and password of course, and be careful with the spaces and the slash directions. The first command terminates any open network sessions, the second attempts to map the NAS data volume to drive letter t. (BTW, if your volume isn't named data you will need to adjust the command to match your volume name).

Hi StephenB When i enter net use * /delete i get the following message, "There are no entries in the list". When i enter net use t: \\nas-ip-address\data /user:admin nas-admin-password i get the following message, "System error 53 has occurred. The network path was not found". The NAS ip address is use is 192.168.1.## and i assume when you say volume it's the name i have given the NAS as it would appear in WE?

I've added an attachment showing what i see in WE, if that helps. (Not sure how to insert screen shots!!)

If you did the usual setup it is called data. The NAS name in WE is called the "hostname". You'd normally set up a credential for both 192.168.1.## and for CROFTY7 (windows actually treats them as two machines).

If there were entries in the list you'd have gotten a prompt to continue (which you should do).

First check that you have the correct volume name. Also, if the admin password of the NAS is still set to password you need to change it to something else. Also check that Windows has the network connection set to "private" and not "public". Another thing to do is to go into the ReadyNAS network settings and disable IPv6. Another command you can try is net view \\192.168.1.## That should give you the share list. BTW it is perfectly safe to post the complete 192.168.1.## address. 192.168.x.x addresses are purely local, and can't be used to reach your systems over the internet.

The volume is called data so i tried t: \\nas-ip-address\data /user:admin nas-admin-password and this time it responded with "The system cannot find the drive specified". The pasword on the NAS was changed, i use the same password for readycloud and WI. I assume this is correct? The netowrk connection is set to Private and i have disbled IPV6. No change in cmd when i try again. Tried net view \\192.168.1.86 but it came back with "System error 5 has occurred. Access is denied". if i go onto chrome and type in 192.168.1.86 it takes me straight through to admin page. Is this the correct IP address to be using in cmd?
