Windows 7 Cannot Access ReadyNas 214
Hi Guys, I built a new PC last night with Windows 7 Premium. This PC is for my wife who has her own share on my R/Nas 214. I am having one heck of a time mapping this new PC to my ReadyNas 214. ...
Hi Stephen,
I will try the command prompt here shortly. Can't imagine the drive is not on the network as the drive appears on that pc - just wont connect. Plus they are both cat-5 into the same switch.
But can you elaborate on this some:
The real solution is to create a ReadyNAS credential for the NAS on the PC that uses your wife's NAS credentials. If you access by IP address as well as hostname, then enter one credential for each. They can use different credentials, so you could set up the IP address for admin and the hostname for your wife.
Is there some more instructions on this part that I could read? Thanks!
Well the computer name is not the same as my NAS and it doesn't even have a password. I tried the command prompt but that's not getting me anywhere.
Does anyone know if the NetGear Premium (paid) will be able to remote in and help? Counting the hours I have in this I am at this point happy to pay someone to show me what I am doing wrong but I don't want to sign up if they will not be able to help...
