Hi Rich,
This is Brian from NETGEAR Business Support and I am responding in behalf of Leah.
We would like you to download/install the NETGEAR SMB Plus add-on found on this website http://apps.readynas.com/pages/?page_id=9, then continue with the instructions below.
1. Once the add-on is installed in the ReadyNAS, access the SMB Plus add-on and set the drop-down button to SMB 2.0 - Windows Vista / 2008 and click Save.
2. Go back to the main NAS interface and under System > Settings, disable and re-enable the SMB service to restart Samba.

Thanks Netgear/Brian.
