Unable to connect to a Mapped Drive
All of sudden I am unable to connect to any of my shares from any of my windows machines. MappedDrive, \\READYNAS, \\<IP ADDRESS>, \\READYNAS\<SHARE>, none of them are working. I get an error message...
Hello zhenya,
What's the FW version and model number of your NAS?
If you have multiple users and the share permissions are set to Everyone, can you try removing Everyone from one of them and try accessing that share then log in using at least one of the users that are allowed to access it. Then try other folders, once done, try other users too.
Regards,
It's ReadyNAS 312 Firmware 6.5.1
Hello zhenya,

Hi I recently experienced this same issue when updating to 6.5.1. I was able to resolve it by disabling IPv6 on the NAS drive
Hi mike_coreit,
Thank you for sharing the solution you had in fixing this issue. It is possible that your computer is trying to connect to your ReadyNAS (shares) via IPv6 protocol. Let's keep this option disabled so you won't have problems accessing your shares via File Explorer.
Kind regards,
