Windows 8.1 machine can't see shares on RN104?
Hi, I have a windows 8.1 machine here and it cannot see any shares on my RN104 device. If I either go to \\hostname or \\1.2.3.4 ip address I just get Error Code 0x80070035 saying it can't find it...
I am having similar issues but with a different perspective.
I have two NAS systems
a) NV+V2 hostname = nas1
b) RN104 hostname = nas2
na21 has a number of shares (share1, share2, share3...) set up with userX having read/write access.
nas2 has a number of shares (share1,share2, share3...) set up with userX having read/write access (note that in the RN104 the shares are created under /data)
From a windows 8 system (work domain): domain\userA (not userX)
On the NV+V2 - I am able to use the windows file explorer to browse \\nas1 and it lists all the shares... so far so good as long as I type the correct password for userX.
using the windows file explorer to browse \\nas1\share1, it successfully shows the content of the folders and allows me to access the files.
On the RN104 - I am able to use the windows file explorer to browse \\nas2 and it lists all the shares.
using the file explorer to browse \\nas2\share1, i keep getting this error:
\\nas2\share1 is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions.
The handle is invalid.
So when i try to use net use L: \\nas2\share1 it successfully maps to the drive and i am able to connect using the file explorer to view the files.
I prefer not to keep mapping drives manually using the cmd prompt. I have tried to go to the credential store -> control panel -> user accounts -> Windows credentials to edit/correct but does not seem to help much. Works nicely on the NV+v2 browsing using the windows file explorer. Does not work very well with the RN104 with file browsing.
Anyone has seen this? is there any specific (maybe security or access related) setting on the RN104 that can be tweaked so that I can browse the shares contents just like the NV+V2?
