Open the Windows Credential Manager, and then enter a credential for 192.168.168.168. The username (and password) should be used by a ReadyNAS local account. Note that "admin" works for this.

Hi JennC,
RAIDar shows 192.168.168.168
the ethernet network uses the same IP, subnet is 255.255.255.0
Thanks a lot!

Hey!
I changed the network IP in 192.168.168.1 and the Readynas become accessible again. I could access the admin page. But one minute later it was not accessible again...
Very odd
Thanks
Davide

Which firmware are you running?
Do you have a backup of your data?- ddemartinOct 03, 2016Tutor
Firmware is 4.1.15 (just updated).
The Readynas contains the backup of my data (plus some more data).
So, RAIDar sees the NAS, the find button works (leds blink on the NAS), I can access the admin page, but the "browse" button leds to message that sounds like (translated from italian) "cant access \\192.168.168.168. User may don't have the necessary authorization. Contact server administrator".
