I just got a ReadyNAS 102 last week. It was bare, so I popped in two 2GB drives (yes they're compatible, I checked), and was off and running. I set it up, setup some shares, and backedup my laptop to it. Woot! Now I have a backup system that doesn't require my laptop to be tethered in place to back it up!
I was able to access the shares at work, so double woot! All was good. Right? Wrong!
Last night, I tried to access the ReadyNAS via Firefox. I was greeted with endless loops of asking for my userID and password. Odd. I rebooted the ReadyNAS. Nope, still doing it. Rebooted my laptop. Still doing it. I tried other browsers, even though Firefox was working well before. Still getting endless UserID and Password requests.
I have a share mapped as a drive on my laptop. That's still accessible. I can get to the NAS by typing \\READYNASNAME in a Explorer window. But ReadyCloud and web access aren't working now. The last thing I tried was to sync the ReadyNAS with my DropBox account. Could that have screwed something up?
Can I fix this? Is the ReadyNAS broken?
RAIDar can see it, but to "setup" or "browse" it launches a browser window and again, I'm asked for countless userID's and passwords.
Oh! One last thing: Running Windows 7 and the ReadyNAS is, I think, updated to the latest BIOS and had the antivirus stuff turned on. And yes, I know the password I set.
Yep. the default ID and Password give the same results of the unending ID/Password request loop, as does trying the https://<<ReadyNAS IP Address>> route.
If this is happening on your LAN then perhaps you should contact support. If you purchased within 90 days, you can use phone support, otherwise use support.netgear.com
I'm having issues with mine, I can login to readycloud, but it won't discover my device. However If I go to the manage tab, it's showing an RN104 with different serial number and data usage to my NAS. If i click admin page, it takes me to the admin page for my NAS.
If I do the discovery by holding the backup button, it will discover my NAS, but going to the manage tab shows another NAS, which I can't delete.
