Unable to connect to Duo v2 from Snow Leopard
I've had my Duo v2 for a bit more than a year and recently have had problems since getting a new computer. I had never had a problem with my old computer and the Duo working together including through the transition to Mountain Lion. Recently though, I was given a more powerful Macbook Pro that is running Snow Leopard that I have not wanted to upgrade to Mountain Lion quite yet. It will not communicate with the Duo properly. Initially the volumes show up just fine in finder, however when I try to connect to them it gives a spinning wheel in the bottom left and then the volume completely disappears from finder.
I tried to see if I could connect this computer to the Duo via Raidar which didn't work nor does the dashboard. I went back to see if those other features are working on the older machine and they are all working just fine.
For a little bit of background, the model for the older machine is MacBookPro3,1 and running Mountain Lion. The new one is MacBookPro8,3 and running Snow Leopard. The Readynas is running firmware RAIDiator 5.3.7.
Anyone have any ideas? I could really use to back up some content from the new machine to the Duo as the files are work related and I need some redundancy.

- have you made sure the Firmware is all up to date on the Duo.
I vaguely remember having the same issue until I did a FW upgrade on the duo and all worked fine. - 5.3.7 is the current firmware for the Duo v2.
- Anyone have anything? This issue is still unresolved.
- What protocol are you using? CIFS or AFP?
Try CIFS instead of AFP is you're not using CIFS.
Connecting to CIFS is just like AFP, except you change AFP to SMB in the Connect to Server dialog.
Finder > Go > Connect to Server > smb://ipaddressofnas
I'm trying to eliminate AFP as your problem.
Also, download logs and post your afp.log - The readyNAS normally shows up on the left hand bar in finder in three different versions listed as ReadyNas, ReadyNas(AFP), and ReadyNas(CIFS) and none of the three work. Also connecting by smb://ipaddressofnas does not work either. I am aware that the ipaddress actually needs to be the one associated with Nas not just the word listed above haha.
I will look up how to access the logs here shortly and post them. - If you want, you can upload your logs to someplace like Dropbox and post the link here so we can decipher what is going on with your unit.
- Thanks that made it much easier. It's in a shared google docs folder here: https://docs.google.com/folder/d/0B8mROy9YdJ65RzdwZzFCa2NkNkk/edit
- Anyone have any luck with the logs?
